KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Calling Peter Vermes “tight-lipped” might be one of the bigger understatements around MLS – and the way Sporting Kansas City's manager and technical director is handling his team's run of frustrating results is no exception.
Maybe he has plans for a wholesale shuffling of formation and personnel for Friday's home match against D.C. United (6 pm CT, 38 the Spot, UniMás), with Sporting stuck in a run of one win in their last nine outings after winning four of their first five. Then again, maybe he'll stick with his trademark 4-3-3 high press, and the players he has entrusted to execute it.
