Portland Timbers Briefly
Manager Phil Neville attributed last Saturday’s loss against Orlando City to challenges faced on the road. Still, the team’s comeback was epic against a struggling Colorado side trying to deliver a more exciting campaign.
Antony and Kelsy were the heroes of the match. Both delivered strong performances, and although Kelsy had a goal annulled for offside, he was denied a brace and an increase in his scoring tally for the season.
In 2025, the team has shown significant improvement, making manager Neville appear competent and mature at the helm of the Rose City side, especially considering his extensive wardrobe come game time.
My outlook for the Rose City team is positive as they are eager to maintain their success and aim for a fruitful season.
The longer injuries do not occur in notable players, as their starting contributions are essential for the team’s overall success and the pursuit of wins.
This team is poised to dominate the league, and despite a dull Cascadia Derby, they are ready to deliver an impressive season and look forward to many successful ones ahead.
This team has the potential to excel in the 2025 season.

St. Louis SC Briefly
Manager Olof Mellberg is the second to be dismissed this season. The third-year expansion team has acknowledged his contributions and is now actively seeking a new leader to take charge of SC’s direction.
Under David Critchley, the team has shown some improvement, but it is unlikely that significant progress will be made for the remainder of the campaign.
With Mellberg, the team faced many struggles, including scoring game-winning goals. Sitting in fourteenth place, the club was struggling to find the back of the net, and results speak louder than words.
Defending the team’s 2023 goalkeeper of the year has seen his position constantly challenged due to the lack of support from the defense, which this Swiss captain cannot continue to tolerate.
Forecast
Can the momentum continue for the Portland Timbers at home against a struggling team?
