How did thornz acad end up such a mess?

But then how would the Thornz subs ever get to play?

25 players and only 16 can actually play in a game. Only 12-14 get meaningful minutes each game. Based on match reports, the Academy subs don't play much.

The extra players they add to the roster just help fund travel and cover the bar tab for the coaches and timbers interns that travel.

Those 12-0 beat downs can be a learning experience. Those awful teams can spin the experience in a positive light. And it’s probably really fun to pound a hapless team 15-0. Just a long as nobody taunts the losing players.

Really? You think losing 12-0 is a learning experience. Care to explain how?

Learning you are completely out of your league and even a subsidized Thorns academy is not worth the price.

A good coach can spin it right to make it a learning experience.

Cu and Fcp Ecnl coaches spin getting beat down all the time. They just tell the parents that some random Ecnl from who knows where is successful so that means the doormat Oregon teams will be too. Then promptly start cold calling to find other players but no one is buying their bs anyone.

I think it's funny that the fc Portland idiot on here is talking crap about thorns propaganda when Ecnl Oregon is the same kind of propaganda scam.

That's really sad. Honestly. Why won't the DA step in and do something about it?

At least Thorns got to play Burlingame and rack up some points before they folded.

Burlingame and PSV are cumulative 22 goals for and 477 against. That’s an unspeakable number of balls fished out of the back of the net.

I can’t imagine those pre game talks. “Alright you little brats, time to go take your whippin’. Get your sorry selves out there. Now. “

Why is PSV allowed to stay in but not Burlingame?

I had no idea the Thorns were this bad. Who would of thought the only thing keeping them from the bottom is Burlingame. The season is only to get uglier as their schedule is tougher in the 2nd half of the season

Nice to see the table, notice how Washington state's top two girsl clubs Reign & XF Premier are now in the DA, they both jettisoned their best players out of the US Club league offering of ole and moved them into the US Soccer DA platform.

At least now the Portland clubs left in the US Club league have a fighting chance against XF Premier 2nd team and the skeleton crew at WashPremier. Stay positive.
