Bracket A would seem to be reasonably balanced with all 4 teams being of similar strength. Going out on a limb and taking Lake O to win this bracket.
Bracket A
ARIZONA 02 GIRLS THUNDER GOLD (AZ)
CROSSFIRE OREGON LOSC 01 STORM (OR)
FC PORTLAND ACADEMY FC PORTLAND-01G-NAVY (OR)
NW NATIONALS G01 RED (WA)
Bracket B is not well balanced. Power Rays and Pacific Blue will be battling for 3rd and 4th. CFC and WA Rush should dominate. I'll give the nod to WA Rush as they have one of the best GK in the NW and some very impressive speed up front.
Bracket B
CAPITAL TIMBERS FC G01 RED (OR)
CLACKAMAS UNITED SC POWER RAYS (OR)
PACIFIC FC 01 BLUE (WA)
WASHINGTON RUSH WA RUSH G01 (WA)
LO Cup is one of the local tourneys attended by top clubs around the area, so there should be some good representation.
With the mix of players on the teams that Summer brings I guess it's anybody's guess who wins at these tournaments.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLO Cup used to be attended by a lot of top teams from the area but that's not the case anymore. The top teams now travel to Seattle and/or San Francisco instead. There hasn't been an Oregon tournament this summer where more than 2 "top" G01 teams were involved, and even then it was a little sketchy as far as the "top" part. Meanwhile, Crossfire Challenge last week had FCP, THUSC, WUSC, LO, Bend, and ET.

Their goalkeeper is excellent. Big, fast and doesn't make mistakes.
They should roll through LO Cup.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe Crossfire Challenge was pretty disappointing as far as results. Good competition for the girls but the only strong result was ET beating Mustang Legends. Aside from that it was a rather mediocre showing.

I wasn't trying to disparage the local teams, only adding my observations.
Three Oregon teams made it out of the group stage but none of them had wins against strong teams, at least from my recollection.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere were several very well played games that didn't result in "strong results" and, at the same time, some "strong results" that came despite less than "strong" play... Pretty typical for a tournament games among teams that don't usually play each other.

Sure sometimes teams play well and still lose. But I'd hope for a few more wins. I get the whole development is more important than winning thing, but ultimately don't you play the game to win?
I'm not trying to argue. Just put out my perspective. I only saw six games so my view is limited.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI saw good teams playing much better teams in most cases. It's frustrating but you have to play good competition to find your weaknesses and push yourself to improve. That's the idea behind joining the ecnl league.

Whatever teams are doing to prepare, the big tournaments like Crossfire and Mustang are great measuring sticks to see how they are improving. It's not always the final score either.
