The point they were making is opfc has had trouble with updx (many are 1 goal or pk results) and the same updx team was routinely blown out by the Seattle are ecnl teams. I know you will try to say but opfc would not Lise like that but you have never beat xfire’s top 2 teams, Seattle united, pac nw etc. ever and guess what- most of those teams (sans x fire top team) are second and third rate on the west coast as far as mls next and ecnl teams go. You have played and beat most teams c and d teams the last few years so sack up be honest and own what it actually is….a participation trophy essentially
    I am reading all of this back and forth and the only question I have for you is this....what do you care? Why do you feel the need to discredit somebody else's success? To use your words, "sack up" and answer what your kid (if you even have any) has done? TA has sucked from day one. That is non negotiable. Oregon youth soccer has been a mess for a long time, and I can say that as the father of 2. My kids have played for Washington Timbers and are now done. My Son is an 05 and is friends with several of the OPFC players. They are a good team, and have been since U11. Are they great? No. But, they have been consistently good to very good. So again, what is it to you about that team?

            Yes, its true 2 out of the 3 team. However Alex and OPFC do not consider OYSA or USYS a very good level and have been trying to get out of OYSA and into another league for years. They staying in the OPL until not other team was there. Then the EAL now ECNL Regional....

              Those were OYSA teams, not the Portland ECNL teams that competed in the same exact tourneys and didn’t advance or even beat those same OYSA teams, sorry Brandon.

                Alex Hockburn is not a bad dude. Only worried about winning but that doesn’t make him a douche. Louis Jones however, is a true OPFC douche and a ****.

                  I agree, he is not bad dude, he is working his craft and moving up. Results matter and he is getting them. Good job

                    He's angling for a college head coaching job, so he doesn't have to deal with parents any more.

                    Look at Leonard Griffin. Six or seven years ago he was at FC Portland. Now he's the head coach at Cal. For all the parental craziness, THIS is the true success story of the 2005 boys!

                      Leonard Griffin did not start in youth soccer and move up to college soccer.... he started in college soccer and had a side hustle as director at FC Portland to pay the bills while he was asst at UP, which is very common for college asst coaches who are not paid very much. Colleges want coaches with college coach/recruiting experience, not youth soccer coaches.
