Surprised FC Portland wasn't ranked higher after beating Crossfire and WPFC and winning the NWCL this weekend. Maybe we should get Jeff Sagarin involved. :)

It's tough to compare US and Canadian teams since they use different age systems. And yes age does make a difference.

I'm sure once lastplanet has enough data he'll be able to determine how much influence the age difference has. It's there, but how large is it??

See other thread on influence on age. Very interesting data.

I noticed some anecdotal evidence for this in my sons B99 team at his club. While there aren't any kids "playing up" this year for the club, approximately 85% of the "A" team players were born in 99 while approximately 85% of the "B" team players were born in 00.
