    Nobody compliments anyone on here. Fake compliment! You can't compliment yourself. It's like playing with yourself.

          Yes you can. People do it all the time. It's natural. Just don't over do it.

Think about Tobin Heath, Lindsay Horan and Becky Sauerbrunn spending their summers playing against some mid level college players with the Eugene Timbers or Spokane Shadow.

            Of course this wouldn’t happen. They would leave to find better competition.
            Problem is that most of those NWSL players from the USWNT don't have the skills to play in Europe so they'd be SOL.

              So think for a second and ask WHY would the ECNL want the Thorns in the ECNL? They have an embarrassing track record. They aren’t really a club. They have been in existence for a short period of time. Go down the list and tell us why the ECNL would want the Thorns.
              They definitely have a "say", however Bernie at Xfire has the biggest "say" in the region.

                GDA 02 team had a girl on it's roster who didn't make her HS varsity team AND couldn't make the "A" team at her local club. FACT!

                  There were multiple on the 03 team that were same.

                      And, most of the Thorns Academy players don’t have the skills to play in ECNL which is why they aren’t playing for an ECNL team.

I don’t see how this is beneficial if you are a current Thorns Academy players. But, all of the top girls clubs in the NW are in ECNL, so I guess you take what you can get.

                            The Thorns are where the Thorns always were. I highly doubt they are claiming that the GAL will be on par with ECNL. Players and parents know this no matter how they spin it.

                            Since they havent announced yet, maybe they are holding out hope for ECNL still.

                              Right. Of the two clubs that service that Issaquah/Sammamish plateau area, Eastside FC is the better of the two between them and ISC, and was the Reign's feeder club until last year when they went into the ECNL. They've done well in the ECNL.

                                Westside joining GAL. Bet on it. They are the Thorns "partner club," after all.
