Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes was the star of MLS Extratime on Monday, joining hosts Andrew Wiebe, David Gass and Calen Carr to preview the MLS is Back Tournament, debate all-time greats and remark on the movement to eliminate racism and social injustice.
The conversation began lightly as Vermes gave his take on the greatest MLS teams of all time, why Lionel Messi is inarguably the G.O.A.T., his special experience coaching alongside the late Sigi Schmid and the story behind his best MLS SuperDraft pick (hint: it’s Roger Espinoza).
Vermes then looked ahead to the MLS is Back Tournament, which will begin July 8 as all 26 MLS clubs take the field for an unprecedented competition at Walt Disney World.
