The GDA is disappointing. Hopefully they don’t hurt the women’s World Cup like they did with the men.

That should tell you about the quality of the competition in ECNL as well.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLest we not forget GDA has done nothing but flaunt that Oregon soccer sucks. No ECNL team trailed Crossfire Premier like GDA, including CU except for the one age bracket. Ecnl (two clubs) had to fill brackets each age year and GDA (one club) struggles holding a candle combining age years.
Locally we have just one NWSL Thorns DA they no competition in that space.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTHUSC & LOSC (aka CU) & FC P, 3 local neighborhood clubs who have been forming classic & Rec (losc) OYSA teams for the better part of 4 decades. Rarely producing any team that was relevant at a regional level let alone a standout in the PNW, simply put they have been fixtures in the OYSA landscape of decent teams. Joining the US Club OPL didn't elevate either of these clubs and then abandoning the state league and joining the US Club ECNl further highlighted the Oregon Sucks legacy and in this 'case sisters of the poor' standing was cemented. Present day the DA has entrenched itself as the top tier for boys & girls marginalizing any usys or us club league.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey shouldn't add more until they fix what they have. Also, there aren't many quality clubs out there to add since most have decided to stay with ECNL. The fact that so few joined is another indication few are impressed with GDA so far.

At least GDA gets to go head-to-head against teams like Earthquakes and Reign. Which I deem as better than playing your cousin at FCP once a month.

These GDA team numbers aren't taking account the clubs that are kicked out (Burlingame), gone bankrupt (FCKC) or switched to ECNL (Virginia Academy).
Going to shrink next year.
