US Soccer hasn't done a great job with the mens NT. Dull, boring soccer. The players look miserable. Got lost to a backwater team and had to go sit in the corner during the world cup. Hopefully they don't do that bad with the women.

ECNL will continue to be the best of the best.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree on this. The 2000/2001 team is the one that is a top in state team. The quality drops big time at the 02, 03 and 04 agegroups. If ECNL does go to hs graduation year age groups they will pull even more of the good players from the gda teams next year. Next year’s GDA will combine 2001 & 2002 players onto one team where only 14 can play in a game. If ecnl offers full separate hs grad year 2020 and 2021 teams watch the 2020s and 2021s leave GDA in droves, across the country too.

Nice thing about Oregon is we have no 'elite players'.
So any kid who wants to play HS and local club have no leverage with Thorns/Timbers DA platform, as they are a dime a dozen in Oregon endless supply.
If we every have a truly 'nationally elite' player they won't be weighing should I play HS or DA (youth Nat Team).
Seriously you need your head examined.

The elite players wouldn't touch the DA platform with a ten foot pole. It's restrictive and demanding. They can do whatever they want. GDA tries to force kids to give up things and it is not pretty.

The the nation's elite do play DA, see National team rosters to better understand how stupid you are and the DA clubs that produce all the youth nat players.
Or continue to babble nonsensically in your spiral down the drain of your personal insanity.
