Technically, it's an antitrust complaint, not a lawsuit.

Oh, and Rubin is apparently attracting some interest from the MLS champs, as well as a few Liga MX sides.

Is Westside taking over Thorns Academy this year or next?

They should file suit against them.

It's the same thing as Timbers academy taking credit for developing a player when they only had them for a year. You'd never hear once the Timbers academy giving credit to the club or even Alliance club for that matter.

US soccer should be sued period. Make them call themselves something else. They don't represent us.

One nation one team? This country should have 2-3 entities representing us soccer.

Speaking of which, Timbers just signed Foster Langsdorf (from WashT) to a homegrown contract today:

No no no no. He may have spent nearly his entire youth playing career at wash t or formerly known as Columbia Timbers but he was at fc port. for a year (seems to be a growing trend)
And the Timbers academy had him for a year or two.

Now if you are from the school of soccer education that says you can create a top soccer player in a year or two then Timbers academy get all the credit. But everyone knows all that is is BS and the Timbers academy again showing they give a crap about anyeone else but themselves.

Don't expect anything from the Timbers academy but a hand out and a quiet demand for more players to make themselves look better.

Agreed! All the clubs involved in Langsdorf's development deserve some credit. WashT, FC, TA, and even Stanford University.
