    What exactly is US soccer delivering?
    National Teams & a the top tier of competition for youth players (DA).

    I’m sure they deliver more, what exactly do you want?

      Players look miserable.

      I’d stay far away from US Soccer branded kiddie soccer.

      I can't stomach watching US mens national team. It puts me to sleep. I'd rather watch Touched by an Angel reruns. Lot more action.

        Rumor has it there are even more "ELITE" "DEVELOPMENT" branded kids products next year. So you think it's watered down now, it will be worse.

        Too bad we can't get any concentration of talent in Oregon.

          Didn’t realize the Thorns 00/01 team lost by that much. I still think they are the best age group in the Thorns academy and one of the top 00/01 teams in Oregon.

            Thorns 00/01 is the top team in the state. Best age group for the Thorns Academy would be the 05/06 group.

              Because talent is so spread thin, none of our Oregon teams are great. It's a mess.

                Thorns 00/01 is a top 5-10 team in the state. No question.

                  They don’t do well out of state but I think the 00/01 team would do well in state if they ever played the top competition. Can’t tell for sure but I think so.

                    Thorns 00/01 team would destroy their competition in the state. I bet Thorns 05/06 can beat most OYSA/ECNL 00/01 teams.

                      On the girl’s side that was already done by ECNL prior to the DA.

                        They don’t do well out of state but would be top 5 in state. They have some good players and some not so good players.

                            Between 1985 to 2010 USYS & ODP were the only platforms for players to get chosen from and it produced 2 World Cup titles and multiple Olympic Gold Medals. US Club had nada.

                            From 2011-2016 USYS & US Club were the only two platforms producing youth nats with ODP scaling back.

                            In 2017 US Soccer created the DA and now that's were the best of the best play and get elevated to the Youth National teams.

                            Some USYS & US Club clubs still can get some players chosen modern day, but to your point, if your a nationally elite club player you are already in the DA.

                              That's the thing with title IX it can trickle into the US Soccer governance, girls should not be discriminated against, since the boys have had their DA since 2007. I love title IX! More opportunities for everyone, not just boys.

                                I think top 3.
