SKC are probably 3 to 1 underdogs now and that is too bad. But it is not all bad. It has been a good season. Only one team gets to win.

What I want to know is why Vermes goes into a defensive shell 99.99999999%. Likewise, he's no fan of subs most of the time. What happened today?

Today? he decides to sub in bench riding OFFENDERS who have had little to no playing time thereby throwing off the entire field of play. He COULD have subbed in more defenders, the second goal was at the 75th minute, enabling us to head back to Livestrong needing only two DOABLE goals to win the series. But three? For a team that doesn't score?

It still irks me. I am now even more convinced than before that he is NOT the coach who will win the MLS cup. He was so panicked and out coached he forgot what got him there when the chips were down. Dismal coaching performance by Vermes.
