Grant has a wide-ranging conversation with Peter Vermes, the manager and sporting director of Sporting Kansas City, the only MLS team to reach the semifinals of this year's CONCACAF Champions League. They talk about the special preparations that Sporting made to get ready for CCL (including hyperbaric chambers and a special dispensation from the MLS Players Union), the advantages of controlling the entire soccer side for SKC and his thoughts on the U.S. men's national team under new coach Gregg Berhalter.
