    Agree. The 00/01 team is definitely a top team. Unfortunately the younger teams aren’t very good. It is tough enough for the Thorns 02/03 and 04 teams to win games now. Next year Thorns will have to come up with a stand alone 2003 and won’t be able to combine the 03/04s to beef up the team. Too much dilution innOregon already.
    The 00/01 team is a "top team"? The Reign Academy U-18/19 beat them 5-1 and 4-1 to Crossfire Premier U-18/19 in November. How are they a "top team" exactly?

      Top team in Oregon. Only one girl’s team can compete out of State, CU ‘03 ECNL.

        What a load of crap. Just because they play with other mediocre teams doesn’t mean they are good.

        Ecnl teams are garbage now. And don’t list the 3 out of 30 that are to try a justify your scam.

          You conveniently left out that they beat the Reign Academy earlier in the season. Of course you left it out because it didn't fit your narrative.

            There will be about a half dozen different leagues next fall, each with one marquee club's A team, and a whole bunch of B teams to serve as fodder.

            CU ECNL will be in ECNL. (FCP will be part of the fodder in this case).

            Thorns will be in GDA, obviously. They'll be fodder, but hey, it's all about development.

            WashT will play in PSPL or RCL or some other Evergreen State league, and not bother to cross the river. Their B team will play in OYSA and beat up on half the field.

            GPS will wind up in a rebooted NWCL, but unlike the old format, it won't be a highly disorganized tournament that anyone with a US Club Card can play in. No, the new format will be modelled on UEFA Champions League, in that only clubs whose kit and training are licensed from a top European side will be allowed in, and the territory will stretch from Santa Rosa to Billings, MT, to Anchorage. (GPS will be the only Oregon team). The double-sided fixture between Hillsboro* GPS Bayern Munich and the Liverpool Elite Soccer Boise Indians will be epic. And the website still won't work worth a damn.

            *or whatever club MJ burrows his head into.

            The FC, OPFC/WUSC/LOSC, and THUSC girls, possibly UPDX, will get finally get their no-travel, no-money-for-Merritt league off the ground, and play each other mainly. Nobody else will care because these are all B teams. They'll save a lot of money, will rock their Nikes, and have the satisfaction of not giving Peregrine a dime. The league will disband next year when the coaches realize how much they miss the mileage and per diem from those long road trips to Medford.

            The Timbers Alliance teams (minus WashT) will be left in OYSA, along with PCU, Salmon Creek and such. This will be the most competitive local competition, with Westside and Eugene duking it out for the league titles and State Cup.

            It will be glorious! Six different clubs, at the end of the season and heading into tryouts, will be able to proclaim themselves the Best Team In The State at pretty much any age group, and nobody will be able to prove them wrong.
            Can see this happening.

              The top two leagues are ECNL and DA. Sure ENCL is a bit more diluted with DA now, but they are still the top league in the country. Last year they were probably a bit behind DA, but I think they pulled ahead now with Slammers, Eclipse, PDA, Stars of Mass, and Michigan Hawks by to all in for ECNL.

                Girls talent is very spread out and watered down. Just means everyone gets to play. Thorns have playing time guarantee which would be nice if your kid isn’t always getting starts.

                  Playing time should be earned. I will happily pay 10k a year for my daughter to sit on the bench.

                    Oh yeah when they didn’t have half their team in place? When a few of their best players were away with National team duties and two other starters were out with injuries? That time? Yes I didn’t mention it. Lol

                      Nobody said top team. A good team but never said top.

                      It’s just kids trying to play a game and have a little fun. Quit trying to put them down. It’s not fair.

                            Still the best team in the state for the age group.

                              It’s beyond me why some many people pile on and put down kids playing soccer.

                                At least top 5-10.
