Outsider question- UPDX and Timbers Boys ECNL

[Guest]

Why not just stop doing it? Seems a Much easier route..... or is it???

Should be as an old man

[Guest]

Ohhhhh anonymous chart board guy GUARANTEES it.

Sit down and shut up son, there are real people with real money involved.

And real sleeze bags with sticky fingers embezzling it along the way….

If my math is correct:

uPDX aggregate record in ECNL this season: 26-34-10 (W-L-D).

Washington Timbers: 28-43-6.

Gosh, I can just FEEL the eliteness and the premierity.

Honestly, I think this is pretty good.

Washington T needs to figure something out. They are struggling and no one is going to save them.

[Guest]

Both clubs are struggling. They could form one relevant team between them.

Why not just do that?

No one wants to drive to harmony sports for practice and both clubs are not “struggling”

Do it at Delta.

Combining them would make a playoff team at most every age.

Learn from the girls. It’s better to be garbage in ECNL and try to fool people into thinking they should join then realize ECNL doesn’t help you anymore then anyone else and you still go the same schools. It’s a scam.

[Guest]

BECNL nor ENCL really isn't a scam. On the girls side you do get better exposer but the cost is stupid expansive. On the boy side clearly better exposer and it just travel to Seattle. Much better league than OYSA.

Parents think it’s a scam because they think their child is supposed to magically get a bunch of college offers be being on an ECNL club. They forget that their kid still has to perform well in front of those coaches, ECNL is a large league too, so with more exposure also comes a larger pool of talent your kids are competing against. Entitled parents are the main reason why their own kids don’t get offers, it’s not ECNL’s fault or the club’s fault. Sure there are some bad coaches in the area with agendas, but most coaches are just trying to field their best team and improve their teams/players.

You know you’re allowed to hold your kids accountable to their dreams. If you want to play in college, then get to work son.

On the girls side if she can spell soccer she is getting offers in the ECNL for someone. Boys side not so much.

ECNL > OYSA
comparing the 2 is just plain stupid
yes it costs more and yes you’re gonna lose more games because you’re playing better competition. Let’s just say XF Seattle United Eastside WA Premier are tad better than Saints EST OPFC

Revenue would be chopped in half. That's why they'll never do it, even though it's best for the kids.

Lol...had to throw OPFC in there, as if they are the likes of Saints and EST. Outside of XF, no SU and Eastside are not better than OPFC. Tell your yourself and other parents that as a means to cope with your lost weekends, losing records, and lost finances. You could have stayed home and had a similar record playing local.

Not a scam. The high cost makes it so rich kids get to play in college. Getting rich kids into college makes the club more money. High cost cuts competition, like it was designed to. If all these players are elite we would beat other countries elite players. Tell is promises of college to recruit, but then no players at top D1 teams.
