Seattle united was losing its best girls players already and this seems more about resources and support. All this does it keep player movement between the two clubs on the girls side stagnant.

Expect the figure down here to be double that.

Seattle Crossfire is quite different from Oregon Crossfire. Crossfire is a franchise.

Wonder what they're going to call the Oregon Crossfire / THUSC ECNL combination?

Most clubs were losing top players to crossfire prior to them getting ecnl but after it was significant. But what is telling is the financial difficulties for clubs to do this on their own. With the rediculous oversized rosters funding teams along with Each club puts in large amounts of money into getting and keeping ecnl along sponsorships makes it hard to maintain.

Ecnl has seemed to go back on its original idea of not allowing aligned clubs acceptance. There are clubs who are dropping out or aligning and it would seem a merged ecnl team in this area is in the future. Ossa and thusc or fc portland merging to form an ecnl team is plausible but a single club supporting it in this area isn't the most stable of an idea. However, if the mls club gets it in this area, it is highly questionable if a second team could survive.

I think "Swallowfire" might be closer to truth. Tom Atencio told the minions to lay it on the line, and as directed, they did.

This post should be on the Washington page. There is no ECNL to speak of in Oregon.

This is about Seattle and not Portland - very misleading
