    At least now the Portland clubs left in the US Club league have a fighting chance against XF Premier 2nd team and the skeleton crew at WashPremier. Stay positive.
    That’s sounds like a good idea - give playing any HS sports to play for a team that has a GD of -25. Sucks even more if you are player #15 and below because you aren’t even sniffing the field

      Has nothing to do with Oregon. DA is a joke in Oregon and Ecnl participation is a near waste. Best Oregon teams can't be top of the table against top 10 wa teams except GPS last year in fwrl.

      Funny that no one ever talks about any teams achievements just league bs and propaganda.

        That's really sad. Honestly. Why won't the DA step in and do something about it?

        Maybe us soccer will pul the plug? The boys DA has not been successful so maybe they will determine that on the girls side?

            Reign was not a top club. Look at their results from the previous year.

              FC Portland ECNL 2001 finished 5th place in OYSA premier.

                Great job Oregon ECNL teams. Good to see success. I am only stating this due to the underhanded cut at other programs, but XF Seattle ECNL team is the 2nd team. The top team is in the DA. I would suggest you do a little homework and quick fact check. It’s also fair to state that the information you posted about the Thorns is also incorrect. The u16/17 Thorns did beat Lamorinda.

                Let’s stop the bashing and posting alternative facts and work on coexisting.

                  Agree! Goes both ways though. Plenty of Ecnl bashing on here should stop also. While XF’s A team might now be their GDA team, Ecnl is still top dog in NorCal. GDA is generally top dog in SouthCal, but they’re in a different GDA conference. Nowhere are ALL the top players playing in the same league. Silly for either side to bash the other. Pros and cons to both and both can be good or bad. Personally, hope all Oregon teams do well out of state and think the infighting does a disservice to all Oregon girls.

                    I believe it was 4th place. Still a top ten team in the state today.

                      What is the top ECNL club in NorCal? I think Northern California is pretty split. Do they even have a top team in GDA or ECNL? They are like Oregon.

                        US Soccer is spiraling down fast. Forming GDA with all the restrictions is backfiring on them. One can argue which league is better but from an organizational standpoint they won’t be around in 3 years.

                          Seattle United just pulled out of the Reign GDA. After just 6 months. Getting out while the getting is good. Next up you'll see Xfire announcing they are abandoning the GDA.

                            This is nothing new.

                            Seattle United pulled out of there ECNL and boy's DA partnership with Crossfire a few years ago as well after only 6 months.

                              It looks good on paper, but coaches don't want to send their top players to another club. Similar to Thorns thinking the TA clubs will send up all of their top players into the Thorns Academy.

                                The whole Eastside, SU, Reign thing looked half-cocked to begin with.

                                Eastside applied to keep options open; when they got in and took a closer look it was thanks but no thanks, so the "partnership" with SU/Reign, which always looked more like DA trying to save face; Eastside girls going to the city for unsubsidized program was never going to happen.

                                SU pulling out hurts. You now have unsubsidized program without any direct feeders . . .and Reign is not one of the MLS-owned NWSL teams which can spread their overhead around multiple teams; more like Breakers and FCKC.
