    Looks like a 2002 team is the best team in the state at 2001 age level.

      2nd in OYSA. 1st in OYSA 01 will be CFC. Top 3 in state are Thorns Academy, CU Ecnl & then FC Ecnl. Maybe 2nd in OYSA 02 as well. Eugene '02s could be #1 when the dust settles.
      Wait, it's actually a Washington 02 team so must be judged in WA state rankings. Doubt it's best is WA. Much further down in rankings vs much tougher WA teams. Doing pretty darn good vs what's left of watered down OregonYSA, I'll give you that.

        Eugene Cypress is looking strong despite one down game. Offense is piling up goals and tough defense.

          Goals scored is high but goals allowed is also high compared to the other top teams. Eugene will fail if they can't shore up their defense. Their "off game" was losing to an 02 team. My money is on Salem for repeat state champs.

            High powered offense for sure. You can’t win if you can’t score.

              Can’t lose if you don’t let any goals in. It’s a double sided coin.

                Deep thoughts man. If only you could marry those two concepts together. High powered offense with a lock down defense. Like mixing puppies and sunshine it would be unstoppable.

                  You mean the team that has never beat either 2002 or 2001 ECNL team is the "best"? They would get throttled so hard they wouldn't know what hit them if they actually played something better than rec-level OYSA Premier (although OYSA Premier is way better than GDA).

                    The team has won two Timbers state championships in a row. Think they'll test themselves by stepping up and doing Washington state cup this year? Not a chance. They know they'd never make it out of the round-robin portion of the tourney, and that's with all the top players in the state not even in the state cup.

                      Let’s not forget FC Portland ECNL 2001 finished fourth in OYSA Premier, so the level cant be that bad can it?

                        Why would they play in their own state & lose when they can represent Oregon at Regionals every year? Hawaii here they come. They are good at soccer and smart too.

                        It is weird that Washington teams can be Oregon State Cup champs but they don’t make the rules.

                          You are really full of assumptions. I honestly doubt you even looked this team up. They could win wa state cup but there is no reason to play wa state cup.

                          Top players doing wa state cup are better then the top players in Oregon period. Just look at what happened when cu Ecnl played on age wa teams that wash t already played. Or the age up wa teams wash t already beat that handled fc Portland 02 Ecnl team a few months ago.

                            This is a 2002 thread or 2001? Seems like people are confused?

                              With ECNL & GDA, Oysa is severely watered down. WT FC smartly made one strong team at 2002 instead of keeping their 01 & 02 teams together at the birth year change. This helped them be better out of Oregon and helps them stay competitive vs other WA state teams. Hence, top players stayed put. Other Alliance top 02s are either gone to Ecnl/academy or playing up in 01s or 99s. This makes a strong WT FC 02s look even stronger. The other Alliance teams all got weaker due to attempting to keep old teams together instead of making new top teams based on birth year. This led to even more top players leaving for non-oysa teams. If the other Alliance clubs put together their best possible 02 teams, they'd be stronger too. I bet Salem's 02 team would be the best and Eugene's would equal WT FC for 2nd. Instead, Salem has a first rate 01 team (with only a few actual 01s)) a mid-pack 03 team and no 02 team at all. Eugene has 2nd place '01, '02 & '03 teams. Medford has the best 02s playing on their 1st place 99 team and Bend has their best 02s playing on their 99 team as well. Westside and Eastside 02s are trying to hang in there after sustaining mega losses of their top players.

                              WT FC is so successful at 2002 because they made smart choices at the birth year change. Yes, WT FCs 2001 team went from a top team to bottom of the barrel without the 02s but it allows the 2002s to compete in and out of state, which keeps the top players at home.

                              Now WT FC 02s just have to hope that Salem and Eugene don't wise up and that GDA & Ecnl hold most of the other areas top players and keep them out of OYSA. In the meantime, WT FC is winning at soccer chess.

                                You give GDA and Ecnl players too much credit from Oregon. Even if cu and Fcp came back to play in state they wouldn't be top 2
