    Thorns were shut out for three years so they brought in a few at the end of their careers so they can avoid being shut out again.

      If the top-of-the-stack clubs (GDA, DA, ECNL) gave more credit to the local clubs that supply them with talent, they might not be disliked so much. But for FC and CU to complain about this is rich.
      Fc and cu are not top of the stack clubs. Thorns academy is failing at the younger ages. And their u18 team was filling with one year players.

      All three wouldn't be top in every age group in Oregon.

      Another idiot who believes propaganda.

        It is silly for FC Portland to take credit for last year transfers as well or players who have already committed prior to ever playing for FC Portland.

        The whole thing about a club developing a player is really overrated anyways.
        Agree with all but the last.

        If you've been with a club more then 3-5 years they are responsible for development.

        It's like telling a high schooler that they are a finished product without wondering where they spent the first 8 years of their education

          Fc and cu are crumbling

          Don't give them credit because they pay for an acronym to fool their parents and recruit while underdeveloping.

          Between the two they have maybe 2 teams total that have a chance to be top in state and 2 is generous.

          Don't believe me? Look it up or make a case because they are not good. Mediocre at best.

              Last 3 years NO other club has had more college commits than CU. You can say developed by others, you can say they recruit, but the facts don’t lie they put more kids in college than any club and it isn’t even close

                Clubs don't put kids in college. LOL

                  Let me re-phrase. Over the last 3 years NO club in the state of Oregon has more girls going on to play soccer after their club years are done

                    No acronym needed, CU has the best youngers in the state at 05’ and 06’. You can add 04’s and 03’s to that list as well if you like. Haters going to hate.

                      Players own their own development. The final product is what you put into it. With the right gene, attitude, and work ethic you can be successful at Crossfire Oregon, FC Portland, or Portland Thorns.

                      I get your point about school. There will be some teachers that make a difference and some schools are obviously better than others, but does your overall education really depend on what high school your attended as long as you attended?

                        That's pretty harsh. They are just kids.

                            Equally as unsuccessful at fc Portland crossfire Oregon

                            Alliance clubs have more successful players then cu and fc Portland combined. if you include boys it's Not even close. No one would dispute that fact over the past 15 years. Salmon creek even had 10-12 college commits this past year and one coming with over 10 at least if not 15. You aren't seeing that at cu or fc at this point. thusc was good years ago but crossfire Oregon is struggling. fc Portland can't seem to field stronger young teams and are forced to recruit. It's not very hard to point out that fc and cu have Ecnl teams that wouldn't even be top in state In most of the ages while cu has a couple good younger teams. Their college commits were poached from them just as they poached from someone else. You don't see them boasting like they did when onyx was around and didn't really do a lot of time in the Ecnl and most players would have gone to college if they played anYwhere else. Their structure doesn't seem to be a good thing now.

                            Thorns are poaching from everyone but are struggling to field strong teams. It's only their lack of transparency with in state clubs that hide their inability to compete well. Two mediocre teams play in the DA no one can really point that out because they aren't going to be tested against what is around you. With a league designed to not admit anyone that doesn't subscribe to their BS then how can you really tell if they are as amazing as they declared even before they started. No one can tell currently. Top teams are all over the place scattered in US Youth, Ecnl, DA leagues. All at any point could point to a team that would destroy any team from Oregon 10-0 and they do. In the end it's the same clubs anyway. Some mid level clubs like crossfire Oregon, westside, salmon creek, fc Portland, thorns academy, Eugene can all pretend like they are cool by association to a league when it's pretty clear that if they all played each other they wouldn't need 75% of what they do and lose much of what is wrong with them.

                            Instead you spend over a million a year to fly kids hours away as much as you can to be able to avoid your competition for players. Thorns letters of intents were predominantly all kids who were developed elsewhere but followed the "logo" for an experience. As they should if they want. Don't get fooled into thinking they are the reason why some of those kids are playing in college now. They could have played anywhere and still gotten what they wanted. They are however a great way of holding the above two clubs to the fire if you want to use patches and league propaganda to get players just as the Ecnl and Alliance timbers thorns patch extravaganza.

                            What's funny about all of this is that cu and fc Portland have been running on this league propaganda model for a while now and did a initially good job of capitalizing on other clubs mistakes to get talent to justify the propaganda. In my opinion the level of good teams both clubs have is much worse then past years prior to the league. I'd say the service and cost to the parents got worse too. But what do I know?

                              How do find so much time to spew so many lies? Sorry your DD wasn't good enough to make the cut for ECNL. Maybe she'd do better if she didn't have you in her life.

                                Fc and cu parents are trying to find excuses or insults....

                                They can't justify or back up any of it.
