          How's meaningless possession looking though?

            There's at least 5 or 6 top players that bowed out. There was so much talent at this age a couple years ago they could beat everyone... And did. Some mistakes were made driving people away. Egos, politics can be very disruptive. Bummer. Wish we could get that group back.

              How about U14 timbers academy? I'm wondering how the younger boys are liking the intensity?

                What intensity? Worse than being at a local rec club.

                    They're too young to have figured it out and their parents are mostly first-timers so they're bought into the Timbers sales pitch.
                    Give them time, they'll see Timbers Academy for what it is.

                          That 99 group almost never lost, even to teams they are losing to now. And the 00's were similarly strong. I also know of top talent that dropped out of the program. Not sure if that was due to frustration with the program, or simply not wanting that type of commitment during HS years. I can't blame them for that, but it would be nice to be putting the top players together. I've heard from a couple people that it's not much fun.
