Interesting article in the paper today. I'm curious to see how it all shakes out. Any predictions?

Montey
Of course he does. He just lost a bunch of players he developed to a program that isn't as good as the one he has.Comment

Any team that lost Rubin Rubio
Would be a weakened side this is true. Galacticos when healthy even with remaining players this year were quite impressive at times. This is the first year since they formed that went out an played in high level games outside of usys regionals. U15 was an off year as the only did Boise tournament for US Club SOccer. In the end the players developed very will this year and nearly 10 of them were selected for Academy teams (not including Rubio). The team may of lost it's superstar but the players responded and moved on the Academy level after there final year with Monty pushing them to this level. Which is unmatched by any club team or club coach this year in Oregon. Runner up is Jesuit HS with 6 players.Comment

Rubio missed half the games last year away on national team duties. Usually with Alex so they were both missing. Sure Rubio is a one of a kind player, but that team has plenty of talent to win without him. They didn't win anything of note this year (didn't win their league or the OPL state cup -- did everybody else get better or did they get worse?) and they lost games that they never lost in the past. How do you explain that? The players deserve all the credit in the world for their accomplishments but let's not get carried away.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Excuse me...OPL state cup is something of note? The only folks lauding it are the ones on the inside trying to make it more than it is. Sorry just needed to provide a dose of reality here...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Just actually think.
OPL is where the vast majority of the best teams in Oregon play. To win it is more than just winning a local club tournament. It is a good indication of a team's success. You need to think.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
