It's really laughable that you associate the happenings of local girls in a local tournament with a GDA program that hasn't even hired coaches, picked players or have a match schedule from US Soccer to date.
Once the GDA Portland Thorns have a product for the GDA fire away. You're wasting quite a bit of attention on local girls that may not even be the type of players suited for the GDA platform. How come, what's bugging you so badly that these kids are the target of your hostility?
I'm sure that once the GDA Portland Thorns are established in the areast clubs like CU and FC PDX will benefit from friendly matches, scrimmages that will happen between the sides, as they do now between the DA Portland Timbers and many of our local clubs who aren't in the DA.
US Soccer doesn't have a year-long match schedule that is overwhelming in quantity for the DA program, this same outline is being used for the GDA in the future, so these type of friendly matches will be a great challenge and opportunity for the local club teams/girls to get exposure to the Development Academy level of play.
Win/Win.
