U-12G Spring

Then how did that WUSC team give the EMFC "A" team a good game on Sunday if they were playing with mostly "B" players?

Maybe they had basketball on Saturday but not Sunday. Happens all the time.

Hate to burst your bubble but WSM was short some players and didn't even have their coach.

Coach shouldn't matter much. I would assume WSM would have a qualified coach to fill in for a U12 game. There is a big difference from only having 3-4 A team players there versus being a few players short.

Plus it's only spring. It means nothing since most teams are not at full roster.

I don't even know why their B team is allowed into a top division in the spring when no other club's B team is.

FC influence over OPL at play once again.

You are a fool.

This is the State Cup Bracket.

Any OPL team can enter in the State Cup.

You need to get over little man's syndrome.

sorry to burst your bubble...but the majority of who WSM played this Saturday was the B team... maybe 2 or 3 of WUSC white team was there.

It wasn't two or three of the white team. Also, hate to burst your bubble, but the WUSC white team didn't do particularly well in the fall. Even though the parents think they are super stars.

Of course they are superstars .... THEY ALL ARE!
It's easy to forget how talented these little kids really are. Simply Amazing!

Yeah! I remember when my kid was 11 and getting ready to try out for the National team!

Question

Does anyone know the real reason why FC Salmon Creek is dodging out of Washington State Cup and deciding to play select teams that wouldn't even make 1st division OPL?????


"We are going to play Challenge Cup so we don't have to be forced to playing in against RCL division 2 teams who will present a challenge to us"


It's the Salmon Creek way I suppose.

They always do the Challenge Cup. Its an easy pull to say you are a "State Champion" when you walked over awful teams. The moment that teams starts losing, those players go to the Timbers. They certainly aren't there for the coaching. They tell everyone that their 2 ODP players will be gone but in all reality they will be playing during those games.

Could be because they lost their top scorer who decided that team wasn't the right fit and the possibility of them making a run against the top teams in Washington let alone getting through division 2 RCL play ins is minimal. Eastside who was 7th in RCL, Nationals who was 5th in the RCL have gotten better and to get through teams like them Xfire, Seattle United (1st), Washington Rush, Timbers is very UNLIKELY>>>>

Easy to say you are better when you dodge out of playing the best.

Any predictions on how the 99 Timbers Reds will do in the OPL next Fall? They are generally considered a top five Washington team in their age group. They beat Ziconium and Nemesis in the Mt. Hood last summer, both games by a goal. My guess is they go in as the favorites and surely finish in the top two or three.

Yes the Timbers are one of the odds on favorites to push the envelope for the top spot in the OPL.
The Timbers are a very strong team. There is some thought that the Timbers will benefit in player movement from the switch to OPL from the WA RCL travel league. FCSC players (& other SW WA players) will be moving to the Timbers. Bottomline the Timbers get stronger in 2012-2013. The parent-parent discussions have already started.

I agree Timbers would be a top 2-3 team and, as a parent of a daughter on a current top 4 team, I welcome their addition.

Not sure I would be too excited, however, if I was a parent of WUSC, WSM or BSC as I wonder which one of those teams would go to/remain in Division 1 to make room for the Timbers?

If I remember correctly, every age group U12-U14 had eight teams which facilitated the 14 game home/away schedule. I wonder if OPL would make an exception if the Timbers joined?

I think the Timbers 99's are on the decline. I heard their best player and goal scorer got injured and is going to quit and stick with track instead since that is her true sport. Also...i saw a few timbers 99' at Kiggins with the Nemesis 99's. They consistantly have 20+ players at their training sessions. I think that the Timbers will be competitive in the OPL, but honestly, they are middle of the pack at best.
