I'm not an advocate for ECNL, it is a waste of money. You don't need it to get into college....
I will say however that these results are not bad. We are not expected to win, our current structure in Oregon won't allow it. Pdx metro does not have but 1-2 top level coaches. Odd doesn't really even have a DOC with vision to implement a curriculum....in fact I would go as far to say that there really isn't a true "club" in all of pdx metro.....Oregon soccer clubs are places for players to play in a certain league. Oregon needs to find and identity before anything else happens....until then we will struggle
And which Timbers teams would have done better? Didn't think so...
I'm sure any club team from Oregon could match these results regardless if they are a 'Timbers' moniker club, BSC, PCU or Herminston select. They might even let in fewer than 20 goals over 6 matches, like these 2 clubs did.
The only Timbers 'team' is the Thorns and they also could of gone winless over 6 games.
It doesn't matter...these ECNL teams are SUPPOSED to be the best of the best...and they stank.
Love how people take something and run with it...best league, obviously not every team in the best league is the best. There will be a first place and a last place, and every place in between.
Crossfire Premiere did great this year, look back at their first year, not so pretty!

Haters will hate.
Stupid people will keep being stupid...
Yep. And most of those stupid people have their kids at Timbers clubs.

Greater Seattle population around 4 million people.
Greater Portland population around 2 million people.
Currently 2 local PDX area clubs are fielding teams from Oregon how could anyone expect Oregon to be relevant or get better, with this type of dilution?
No hate. Just facts if Washington fielded 4 teams that were not based on the best talent and coaching available they too like Oregon would be fodder as well.
