That is a lot of losing. Do you just get used to it after a while? Did those kids lose a lot on their previous teams?
I think if they allowed high school it might possibly get them better players? I don't know that for sure but speculation.

Think for yourself. Look for yourself. Facts are facts, bots are bots.
I’m curious, how much does 50k fake followers cost? Was it worth it?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt is very short sighted to be concerned about wins and losses at the youth level. Think big picture people.
Here’s a big picture for you.
How about forwards who only score 3-4 goals all season
How about forwards and miss who only get collectively 1-4 shots on goal all game
How about midfielders who don’t connect more then 5-10 passes a half?
How about learning that losing is inevitable and you don’t find success or know what logical development success is?
I’m not a da hater because Ecnl clubs like cu and Fcp were in even worse situations when all the best teams were in Ecnl before the da took them. This is public record. CU had teams that scored 2-3 goals all season.
Big picture? You clearly don’t understand development if you think the above is appropriate placement for an individual player or team.
This also includes the public record of da playing time sub rules with 30% of the team not even seeing the field.

Timbers Academy is nearly worse than all of them.

soccer is one of those strange games where you can dominate a team and they never will see a ball the entire game.
Being out matched isn’t development unless it’s periodically.
This isn’t American sports where each teAm gets a chance or a certain number of tries.
Consider even the emotional effect on a player that won’t attempt moves because not only they don’t see the ball enough, they are outmatched and it’s 90% likely they don’t succeed. You need massive amounts of reps with a lot of success and failures to make a player.
If it’s all failure like any game, kids don’t play or end up learning to survive instead of thrive.

Damn. I’m gonna buy my whole damn family some followers. Maybe we’ll get some attention from somebody. Nike. Thorns. Timbers. Porn Hub. DHS. TMZ. ACLU. Whatever.
Doesn’t matter. Seemed like a good investment😂😂.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThorns U15 has given up 25 goals in last four games. If it takes 2 minutes to pick the ball out of the net and restart, that’s close 15 minutes per game or 1/6th of the game. But maybe after thorns go down 0-3 the other teams stop celebrating goals four, five, six, seven?
