Quality of ODP?

[Unregistered]

Heard today that the quality of last year's ODP teams was not great. BoysU11. Where can I find the results posted of the fall 2009 season?

I meant OPL, not ODP.

I don't believe the OPL results from last fall are still posted anywhere.

I would tend to disagree with the assessment that the quality of the U11 Boys OPL teams was not very good this past year (at least relative to OYSA). The second best team in the OYSA league played in the OPL league this spring and finished with 2 wins and 4 losses (3 of the losses were relatively lopsided). Based on results of summer tournaments, the best team in OYSA would have likely finished in the middle of the OPL "platinum" league last fall and would have probably been 3 goals worse than the two top OPL teams. The top 3 or 4 teams in OYSA probably fit in well with the OPL Platinum division, but after that the quality of the OYSA league doesn't seem to compare with OPL.

Thanks for the reply. Too bad they aren't posted anywhere still.

What I heard (rumor) was that a Washington team that did really well in OPL did not do great in WA State cup.

I agree it would be nice if OPL would archive their standings.

I don't recall there being any Washington teams in U11 Boys OPL this past fall (certainly not in the higher division), but there was one that played in the OYSA league.

There were no Washington teams in OPL at the U11 boys age this year.

I would bet that any one of the top U12 girls team in the State Cup right now, could compete if not beat any ODP pool that OYSA could put together.

First, I am not promoting OPL or OYSA, or which one is better. That being said U11 Boys OPL played 11v11; where OYSA and most summer tournaments at U11 level played 8v8. Now it isn't a big discrepancy; but any time you add players to the field there is an adjustment period.

Best U11 boys team in the fall:

CFC Real Madrid (amazing team. probably one of the best boys U11 teams out there)
FC Portland
NEU Rovers (great team and many U10's on it)
ESU Bayern

I don't see any of the OYSA teams being able to compete with those teams, especially in 11v11. There was some great competition for U11 boys in the platinum group.

And who do you pick for U11 for OPL for this coming year?
