Portland Timbers have made a strong start to the MLS season, collecting 18 points and sitting second in the Western Conference. They've recently extended their unbeaten streak to seven games, including a significant 4-2 victory over LA Galaxy. Despite the team's success, coach Phil Neville emphasizes the need for ongoing improvement, mentioning the importance of keeping young players grounded and emphasizing their development. In contrast, San Jose Earthquakes have faced struggles, sitting 11th with eight fewer points than Portland, although head coach Bruce Arena remains hopeful about their progress.
We're a young team with phenomenal talent, with great energy, with incredible courage to play. With young players, we've just got to keep their feet on the ground and keep moving forward.
Every team has things to work on. Obviously, we think we could have done a little better by finishing off our chances. Finishing is always an issue, but we're getting better.
