The team that finished 4th place in OYSA Premier? Yeah that FC Portland ECNL 2001. -
Hold up. Your argument is that somehow "this team" which had no players that I know of ever play in the OYSA Premiere division, finished 4th place at like U-14? That story doesn't have any holes in it now does it? smhOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Go ahead. Throw down the gauntlet. Or your mittens, whatever you got. Put up or shut up. Time for a FC ECNL vs Thorns friendly.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's a better match-up then they get in US Club ecnleague, when they are playing teams that aren't even in the top 20 of their own state. I say game on!Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

TopDrawer Top 10 team Rankings - G-U18 Sample
1 So Cal Blues - ECNL
2 LAFC Slammers - ECNL
3 McLean Youth Soccer - ECNL
4 Michigan Hawks - ECNL
5 PDA - Blue ECNL
6 NEFC-Breakers - Elite
7 United Soccer Alliance - DA
8 Tophat SC - DA
9 FC Dallas - DA
10 FC Virginia - DA
*For those of you who continue to pound the DA, please understand, the best talent is STILL with the ECNL. This is true at the U17 and U16 levels as well. Look it up and stop with the nonsense. I deal in facts. The Thorns are underwhelming in a league that is a tier lower than ECNL. Facts. The best talent in the state doesn't play in the DA. Facts. Much/Most of the best talent in Washington plays in the ECNL. Facts.Comment

That’s really good but I’m pretty sure it was 4th place. A little awkward. But hey, fourth place is something. It’s better than 5th place for sure.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It would be interesting to hear how many girls from that 01 team will be going D1 this next year; How many kids from that 4th place FC ECNL team will be going onto the next level to play soccer?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

US Soccer DA puts the best most elite players from two birth years together to form one team. Succinctly, the DA has no u18 only teams.
Even with that reality, (fact) their younger aged mixed teams occupy nearly half of the u18 opinion piece.
You need to look up the word fact(s), deal.Comment

With the Title IX trickle down to collegiate women’s soccer, even 4th place teams from Oregon will have some D1 players. Which has nothing to do with any league they played in, this is truly a social injustice or affirmative action hiring practice. Meaningless and laughable outcomes based on supply and demand. This distorted landscape has bouyed con artists attempts to ‘sell’ a league. The ‘league’ approach has been losing steam for the last few years and will continue to decline as more parents get educated. Outcomes will always be favorable with Title IX application in higher ed.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
