Not playing players for the sake of going 2-9 vs 1-10 is a joke.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell go join thorns academy like the other bench warmers did. Sorry you don't understand that in competitive soccer, playing time is earned, not given. I'm sure your DD's college coach won't mind your weekly emails questioning coaching strategy and why the coaches don't see little Susie's potential.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSmart bench warmers will leave a team for better opportunities. For this reason, elite pay-to-play pathways with large rosters will always have a lot of turnover. Even subsidized Thorns Academy will have some turnover. This is natural. You won't get better if you don't play in games.

Smart parents teach their players to take responsibility for their own soccer journey and to challenge themselves to get better and contribute meaningfully to the team they are with.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFlew 3000 miles + one way to play (1) game vs another bottom feeder team in the league @ PDA (NJ) showcase today. CU won 7-0. We could never do this in Oregon vs local teams. Glad we did it.
But results of one game don't mean much right? Unless there's a pattern or shared opponents to compare results? Tune into New Jersey tomorrow because the Reign play the bottom feeder that CU beat 7-0 yesterday. Will they blow them out in similar fashion? And what does it mean for the GDA vs ECNL argument when lowly bottom feeder CU beats the only academy team they played this year?

This same bottom feeding team beat current the ECNL/future academy Seattle Reign last weekend. It might be lousy to be a bottom feeder...but it's worse to lose to a bottom feeder.

"Development"
At some point people will realize that soccer is about competition. Nobody at ECNL, DA, or a any number of local clubs out there care about winning soccer games. It's about "development". Not sure when kids are supposed to start playing competitive soccer. Maybe it's when they hit the 50+ league at Rose City. It's always acceptable to suck when it's just about "development".

At least we are keeping a 30 game streak without a win intact for the two teams. ECNL Strong.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is actually getting interesting. The lowly CU u16's won again today - beating a GDA team 2/0. It's getting harder and harder to argue that the quality of GDA will be higher than ECNL. Not an ECNL or GDA parent, but I may be in the future as I have a talented and motivated ULittle. If I had to decide today I sure wouldn't opt for GDA. Luckily I can afford either option, and luckily I don't have to decide for a few more years.
