Beyond The Box Score: A 13th playoff trip for Vermes, and 13 more wins for Sporting KC

Peter Vermes is no stranger to the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The Sporting Kansas City boss is set to make his 13th career appearance in Major League Soccer's postseason — as a player or a head coach — when his side faces Seattle Sounders FC in Thursday's Western Conference Knockout Round at CenturyLink Field (9 p.m. CT, FS1 & UniMas).

In doing so, Vermes will enter rarefied air as one of only four individuals to either play in or coach a postseason game in 13 separate editions of the MLS Cup Playoffs — tied for the most in league history.
