    They fill a niche. Those that don't want the challenge of ecnl, but want to beat up on what's left of their old teams.

      Nothing. If the Thorns Academy disappeared tomorrow nothing happens.

        Well, they didn't die and only got stronger. Meanwhile, ECNL got much weaker. And to boot, Tom is out. FCP is a winner. TA is a winner. CU is a huge and I mean huge, loser. Fraser, pack your bags. Jim Brazos, ditto.

          A team that you are holding in such high regard is this the same team playing in Beaverton Cup. They may be the only team in the USSDA that actually has not won a single event.

            I don't hold them so high. Just hold those other teams so much lower.

                What an angry bitter little troll you are. Cheering for people to get fired and lose their livelihood? Should we all go down to the local Burger King and cheer for you to get fired?

                  Beaverton cup is solid silver division tourney. Will be fun to win a trophy to get things started.

                    It would help both ECNL teams as well as the team at SCFC if Thorns went away. You could also take away one of the ECNL teams and the rest of the teams would improve. Frankly, none of our PDX teams are that good. Too many options and not enough consolidated talent. I'm all for the free market economy but none of these teams stand out from any of the others except for coaching and again that's going to be partially subjective but comparing license to license you can see which clubs lag behind.

                      I say get rid of all the elite clubs and go back to playing with your local team locally. Build the local tallent back up and compete in one league. Then All Oregon Clubs pitch in and support an All Star team. That is a win win situation, as long as players are chosen fairly, so Oregon's best would truly represent Oregon.

                      Would cut down on costs, and force parents to face reality their little Suzzie ball kicker is not the top 22 in the area. It is so sad that money drives our elite leagues. He who has the bucks buy their way in to these positions. There are many kids in the area that have higher potential if given the opportunity, and would do a much better job of representing Oregon's best.

                              Because parents want wins. It's important to keep parents happy.
