Well done and great accomplishment. I was busting on the mom that thinks winning the 3rd bracket at Surf or playing in the North American Cup is some accomplishment

Drunk Timbers coaches posting again.

One played with them on 98 Team in Champions league. Don't think Onyx qualified last year with combined age group. They struggled last year.

I don�t if I would say struggle. They finished 2nd in their conference and finished in the top 25 for Champions League. At u18 they only take top 16 for Champions League, not top 32

Did they lose to FC Portland once or twice last year?

I think twice. This team was a dominate US Club team when everyone was in ECNL and they were not. Once they moved up to ECNL there results were good for Oregon but nationally just ok.

Lost to FC once in their last season. In all 3 years of ECNL they finished in the top 25 each year. Not bad considering no GDA to water down results. BTW that FC team was pretty good but definitely underachieved

They were a respectable team from Oregon.

They were both good - both teams did Oregon proud.

There is a big difference between "respectable" and...

"She has played with and against the best players in the country for a long time now with impressive results"

Reign & XF Premier send their �A� players to DA and the �B� teamers match up well with the teams you listed. Actually benefiting the US Club league, very kind of US Soccer and the Premier clubs to move on.

Hello thorns academy intern. Talking to yourself i see. Fact is ecnl teams gave Crossfire premier way better games than thorns are. Crossfire premier isn�t doing much with development considering the blowouts. Sure their girls will place well but will be unprepared playing subpar teams.

What is the final word on high school sports? Sounds like some girls did HS soccer this year and other sports. That would be a very wise change.

And it would have been better for Crossfire Premier's development to be playing Oregon ECNL teams instead... along with playing Nova, Washington Premier, and Utah Avalanche? The teams in the NW conference for ECNL and DA are equally subpar.

Thornz is really scraping bottom on player talent so they have to bend the rules a little bit here and there just to keep the better rec players they do have. Program is folding at the end of June so don't worry about it.

If you were to put USYS DA ECNL teams all in the same league you would find out that it's the same as it's always been..

Crossfire WA top team
Washginton USYS top teams like PAC NW and Spokane
Washington premier (sometimes they have a random really good team)
Seattle Reign
Big gap
Idaho
Oregon teams of any affiliation minus the random onyx or GPS. Does not matter if they are Ecnl DA or USYS. The problem is the Ecnl or DA idiots trying to lie by association.

It's always been this way and continues to be. It isn't even close if the top teams play each other. If you don't know this than you are only going to be fooled by US soccer or Ecnl or USYS national league bull crap.
