    Good idea. Some of those "girls" on Thorns Academy are more masculine looking than most of the boys on the Timbers Academy!

      Beaverton cup is embarrassing.

      How did someone think this was a good idea?
      can anyone explain why those games don't count?

        Rhetoric from Thorns: This is a non traditional season as our teams are future GDA league teams but GDA doesn't start until September 2017. So we had no choice but to put them in OYSA and FWRL, but out of courtesy to the non elite teams in those leagues, our results won't count.

        Truth: We don't know what to do with this cluster***k of a year while we wait for GDA to begin. We could have used our connections with Washington timbers to get into the relatively challenging RCL, but truth be told we are scared. Parents were pretty crabby when our summer showcase tournament turned out to be Beaverton (btw - Beaverton most certainly counted for the younger team - who won their bracket. It only didn't count for the older team.). If we played in RCL and lost to the Washington B and lower level A teams, we might not be able to field 3 teams in September 2017 when GDA kicks off. We are relying on the fact that our parents are too egotistical/stupid to realize they are the laughing stock of Oregon soccer. So far it's working like a charm! We even have our weak older team playing down in FWRL and no one seems to notice. Success!

          That seems unnecessarily harsh.

            The truth often is.

              No trophys. No advancement. That's what it means. Winning bronze at Vegas or the bronze at beaver ton is two steps below balloon fest.

                Nobody asked the parents what tournaments to schedule! And don't blame the kids.

                  Our club (FC PDX) never asked us if wanted to travel across the NW to play Idaho and Utah or head to Houston to be snowed out. We are not responsible for this mess, but are asked to cut the check to pay for this fiasco. Understand the kids are getting the short end of the stick with clueless parents asked to follow the knee jerk decision of our club coaching wannabes.

                    Not that you're kids actually good enough to play at FCP but, if you don't know going into ECNL that they play games all over the NW, Colorado, and northern California, you are even more stupid than the Timbers lemming cavemen.

                      No need to ask Timbers lemmings. They just get down on their knees and swallow whatever GW delivers.

                        I feel bad for some of the good parents there.

                        Watching as this scam plays out and being awoke to the idea of how much of a bait and switch smoke and mirrors game Oregon Ecnl is.

                            Luckily for you, you can pay more for a lesser product with the Thorns. Yippee!

                            Better yet, continue to have you daughter only play OYSA matches for NEU and tell her she will play in college someday. I hear PLU calling.

                              I'm tired of the bashing. The kids are playing soccer and that's what's important. Why can't we all just enjoy the game and celebrate the wins? Everything doesn't have to be top shelf.

                                It can't be a scam as they didn't take your DD even though you offered to pay 5x the normal rate.
