John Galas taking talent from Eugene Metro to OPFC

[Guest]

John Galas--who is the sporting director and head coach of Lane United FC, projected USL League 1 team based in Eugene-- has recently started taking talent from his supposed youth club and academy, Eugene Metro FC, to Oregon Premier FC. It would be good to know what OYSA thinks about this behavior.

What a dumb post, even for this page.
1. Eugene Metros are not a youth club/academy of Lane United - at all.
2. I know this may surprise you but Galas is allowed to be a coach AND a dad, and if he and his son think OPFC is a better fit than Metros and are willing to make that drive, more power to them.
3. Looking at the roster for Lane U - which appears to be almost exclusively college kids and Metros HS kids (and who knows if the high school kids will play later on, with other college kids are showing up in the next few weeks), I don't see any players (other than Galas' kid, apparently) who play for OPFC...but I do see one Eugene kid who plays for United PDX, so maybe save your outrage for that? Just an idea.

Totally deplorable. No coach should be suggesting players for their club play at other clubs (unless that club is in Guadalajara and then nothing to see here, move along, forget it was mentioned, totally normal what’s happening here, we didn’t go to that tournament just for that one kid)

This site is such b.s. should be shut down

You hate that one kid so much don’t you? Maybe instead of being so envious you should use him as the bar and have YOUR kid set goals to reach that bar don’t let these soccer camps fool you by telling you your kid is good enough to play in Europe when he couldn’t even make a top ODP team.

This sounds like go parenting. Find the right fit for you child. What is wrong with that.
