Portland Timbers were on an extremely good run of form in the month of July, but they suffered their third match without a victory after the 2-1 defeat against Real Salt Lake during the weekend. After the match, Portland Timbers manager Caleb Porter said that he is now focusing on getting his team back to the best in the hope that they finish the season strong. The last two seasons have been disappointing for the club, but it finally looked like turning around at the start of the season. The club was in great form only a few months ago, which has helped them stay second in the table.

However, August has been a disappointing month so far for Porter because they have failed to win a single match. Their last victory came in the third week of July. As a result of this poor form, clubs like LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids have closed the gap on Portland Timbers. There is a danger of Portland falling into the fourth or fifth position if their form does not improve sooner rather than later. Ahead of the match with Real Salt Lake in the US Open cup semi-final, Porter expressed his confidence about being able to win the match.

“I don’t know if there have been many teams that have gone into Salt Lake and out-possessed them. They’re the best possession team in the league and have been for years, and it was 60-40 and 13-9 in shots. Football and the result can be very deceiving. Like I said, we could have easily won that game 2-1 and be feeling like we’re on top of the world right now because we played well enough to have that happen,” said Porter after the 2-1 defeat, which extended Real Salt Lake’s lead to 3 points in the table.

FC Dallas will be taking on Chivas USA on 4 July, and the match is expected to be a sell-out. It will be taking place in Frisco, where there are a lot of festivities due to the Frisco Freedom Fest. Since they will be playing in front of a sellout crowd, Dallas manager Schellas Hyndman has said that he wants his players to maximise this opportunity to get back to form. There must have been on a poor run of form in the last few weeks, which has resulted in Real Salt Lake closing the gap on them in the table.

The team has not managed a victory in the last three matches, while they will be having another tough match in the form of a visit to LA Galaxy in the next encounter. Hence, three points is certainly on the agenda for Hyndman and he says that the players can utilise 4 July atmosphere to get a victory. Hyndman has said that it is always special to be playing on Independence Day and it is irrespective of the sport. He has said that the home team is especially charged up in all sports like football, basketball, and baseball.

“I don’t mean to speak for every coach in the world but I think we all enjoy an environment that appreciates the event that’s going on, whether it’s a basketball game, whether it’s a football game or a soccer game. We’re very happy to have a great crowd because it gives the players extra motivation,” said the FC Dallas manager. The team made a great start to the new campaign by suffering very few defeats until June. However, since the 1-0 defeat against Portland Timbers in the middle of June, they have been unable to get the victory and it is starting to affect their league position.

Chicago Fire have been on a very poor run of form at the start of the new MLS season. The manager of the club, Frank Klopas has stated that the team is definitely missing the presence of Arne Friedrich at the back. The club recently lost their match against Philadelphia Union by a 1-0 scoreline. Even though they have been playing decently enough at the start of the season, errors by the team late in the matches have been extremely costly. Klopas has praised Friedrich by saying that his presence at the back makes a significant change to the team.

One of the main differences between Friedrich been present in the team and not being present is the lack of communication. Friedrich is extremely vocal on the pitch, which has certainly made a difference. In his absence, the team have collected just seven points from the 10 matches played so far. As a result, they sit in the ninth position. Pressure is certainly on manager Klopas to deliver the results, and he is resting his hopes on Austin Berry and Jalil Anibaba to hold out the defence until the return of Friedrich.

“We are missing Arne Friedrich in the back for sure, 100 percent. His ability to communicate and over 90 minutes his ability to dictate the backline when to move up and stay connected with the team. He is really good with his feet and plays the right balls at the right time out of pressure. It is huge. We are making some mistakes that are hurting us. We miss Friedrich’s leadership on a play like today,” said Klopas.

Chicago Fire have managed to win just one out of the last five matches, which has been partly responsible for their slide down the table. They are several points away from the play-offs right now.
