      I'm not disagreeing with you, just providing a different point of view.

      Think of the local high school leagues, the MLS,...etc. The goal is to be the best and to win. Not to make everyone else better.
      Agree. I believe competition is king but believe bashing is useless. I really wish all the top teams from Oregon would play each other often, regardless of which league. Do friendlies with refs on a regular basis and all the girls would benefit from it. Little travel and little expense with a big payout in development. The average skill would rise! One reason CA players are so much better is they get to play against a lot of very good local competition no matter which
      league they play in. Oregon is too small so would have to either have just one league or arrange for frequent cross-league “friendlies”.

          That’s what all the birdies are chirping from on high.

            Is it because the Timbers are embarrassed by the poor performance? Are they going to make them change the name to something besides Thorns?

              They will try to pawn it off but I really doubt anyone will be interested.

                Thornz Asylum playing all their games out in Gresham now. Seems perfect to give the Asylum to Eastside Timbers - they're experts at killing off girls teams by U14.

                  Eastside is making great facilities and putting in effort to better soccer in the area. Kudos to them and GDA will do fine if they move to Eastside, or Westside, or wherever.

                    Eastside would be perfect fit. Eastside Thorns has a nice ring to it. Like Burlingame.

                      Eastside puts up some good teams, which is why ECNL and DA coaches have both been out there drooling and trying to recruit the 04s.

                        Burlingame Eastside Timbers has a nice ring to it.

                          I suggest we rename them Burlingame Thorns North.

                            Eastside isn't putting out good teams, they have been keeping their players and not accepting the DA racket or Ecnl scam. If everyone kept their players Ecnl would be worse than it is now which is hard to do and GDA wouldn't exist.

                              Is Eastside taking over the thorns program?

                                I have very good information that the answer is yes and there will be other huge changes. Some people will be very happy. So exciting.

                                Just kidding, I have no idea.
