All kidding aside, wish both sides luck in any continued discussions about putting this thing back together. Not holding my breath though.

If Timbers have approached OPL with a meaningful partnership I'd like to hear what it is.
If Timbers have done that and OPL is ignoring them then IDK.

Global view, bigger picture symptom of...
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLook at all of the boys age groups U14+ and you'll find Timbers teams filling several of the bottom positions in the standings. Given how many Timbers clubs there are, you'd think they'd be dominating but they aren't.
Top teams
BU14 - FCP
BU15 - Santos FC
BU16 - Eastside
BU17 - Crossfire
BU18 - Eastside
Not exactly dominance in a league that is 80% "Timbers".
That is were the top 50 boys are playing these days, with the USSDA Timbers teams.
So, who is relevant in the OPL or OYSA leagues reflects who has the most competitive JV boys teams in Oregon Club Soccer.
Congrats!

You go ahead and think the top 50 boys are in the academy.
BTW, I have a bridge to sell you.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere have always been solid boys teams at FC Portland and Crossfire. The problem is that there aren't ANY OTHER good boys teams left in the OPL and there are lots of good boys teams in OYSA. That's why these teams are now playing in OYSA. I'm really not sure why this thread was even started.

Psychological characteristics
Two studies published in 2013 and 2014 have found that people who are identified as trolls tend to have dark personality traits and show signs of sadism, antisocial behavior, psychopathy, and machiavellianism.[37][38] The 2013 study suggested that there are a number of similarities between anti-social and flame trolling activities[37] and the 2014 study suggested that the noxious personality characteristics known as the "dark triad of personality" should be investigated in the analysis of trolling, and concluded that trolling appears "to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."[38] Their relevance is suggested by research linking these traits to bullying in both adolescents and adults. The 2014 study found that trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting hot-button issues to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortunate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, merciless amusement. This is why novice Internet users are routinely admonished, "Do not feed the trolls!" The 2013 study found that trolls often have a high expectation of what it means to be successful, which is higher than they are able to attain, and this results in them resenting others who think they are successful but who fall below their standards.

That's where the money grab is. For what it's worth, the better players that have come from the academy teams so far have not been from alliance teams. They've been from FCP, CFC or from somewhere else.

That u14 group is one of the better ones in Oregon. WST and FCP are very good, WAFC and 4-H are solid, but dropping off. Crossfire is rising and play good soccer, BSC is inconsistent but try to play. Eastside is much improved. Not much out of Portland metro
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCFC is an Alliance team ya big dummy. And yes, the better players are, in fact, coming from Alliance teams. Maybe a couple from FCP, but that's about it. Dang, you win the enormous dummy award. Wow. Sorry for being mean, but it's true.
