    Why not. If Eastside team is better than the thorns Academy why not change your name and show them.

    The whole thing with patches and names is crazy. Who cares. Put out a better product and the marketing thing isn't important.

      Thorns would be 4-5th in OYSA at most age levels.

        The oldest team would be competitive. The others, well, they didn’t win the DNA or soccer lottery to put it kindly.

        Are they back in OYSA after try outs?

          I think OYSA would be a more appropriate fit for the Thorns Academy. They might even pick up some wins which would be a good after losing so many games.

            Even THUSC/LOSC/WUSC (CU) & FC Portland are OYSA members seems to work for them.

            Thorns being a Pro Club don't have the structure or mission of a local non-profit community based club to be a part of their league (US Club or USYS).

            Good to have tiers.

              The younger 4 thorns academies would probably get some wins in OYSA premier.

                Losing a lot of games when you are young is good for you. Teaches you valuable life skills.

                  There are lots of problems with the Thorns but don't get carried away, the real argument loses credibility when things like this are said.

                    Good point. Learning how to lose is a valuable life skill. It will teach the kids how to handle losing when they get older.

                      Have they allowed the thorns players to play high school soccer at the same time. Ow?

                        Great points and counter-points by the same ECNL a- hole. Desperation makes you have to get on here and bash the Thorn's. Create a clearly superior program and this wouldn't be necessary. What cock chowers.

                          This what me asking a legit question? Are thorns allowed to play high school or not? What in the world is a clock chower anyway? I doubt have a child playing ecnl not sure who that's meant for but clearly some of you posters here are mentally unstable

                            Are you on meds or alcohol? Or possibly hit your head hard on a solid object?

                              What are you so sensitive if the Thorn's clearly have a superior question. Tryouts are coming up and that is a fairly legitimate question. If you have such a great program, you probably don't need to be so sensitive and defensive.

                              Calling people Cock chowers? Is that a good representation of parents who are part of the Thorns Academy?
