That's what I keep saying, you say this with one big if (see above second sentence)and yet nothing in writing. Lay out the facts for all to see,in writing please,the whole thing with the timbers holds very little merit unless, as I said before put it in writing. I am for ecnl whoever gets it. You see I have dd and girls soccer is most important in my village.

Word on the street is 2/18/12 for an announcement from PDX Timbers.

What's great about this thread is that whomever is involved with the announcement will be implicated with this thread and the rumors from it. The asinine and professionalism from the club(s) involved. Good show.

Is this whole thing just a joke?

The entire premise of this thread is ridiculous. Who would even want a "lot of pissed off parents?"

How does that benefit Oregon soccer?

Does this have to do with the expected poor showing in the new travel league?

Yes. There are already lots of grumbling at the U14 level. Folks not happy about the poor play of the team after spending a lot of money to travel.

Troll alert yet again

Troll alert yet again

But I think you, oh mighty protector of ECNL are the cause of all the trolls. People want objectivity. Both sides of the story.

We here the excited folks out trying to recruit more participants. What you are calling trolls are just people aware there is "trouble in paradise".

If you want to get rid of those posts step your own back a little bit.

ECNL will not turn an average kid elite...it won't end world hunger... And it certainly won't cure cancer.

It is just a soccer league.

There is a dichotomy you seem unfamiliar with...the teams bouncing around the room yelling "we are elite" rarely are, and rarely are taken seriously. The Elite teams don't have to thump their chests, they will sit back quietly and let their field craft do the talking.
