Too bad you couldn't be there. Bummer.

Watched the whole thing unfold live. Not surprised given the quality of play of TT - you can't play long ball against decent teams.

Well they were the only team in Oregon that could get the chance "to play long ball against decent teams." (Play not watch.) Bash them all you want - they were there and no one else was.

Hahaha. Using gotsoccer rankings to defend your case. What a maroon! You do realize, don't you, that most states don't even send teams that are top 10 in their own state to Regionals anymore?

This is true but it doesn't change the fact that any other Oregon team would've done even worse. Instead of bashing TT, we should all be trying to figure out a way to get all of Oregon girls soccer out of the dumpster.

It starts by not allowing this type of coach to work with players between 8 and 14 years old. Unfortunately these girls have missed the boat and are behind technically....

Really? Behind SoCal girls technically, I agree. Doing just fine by OR standards. In OR, many of the TT girls are amongst the top at ODP & US Training. There is a much bigger problem & it encompasses ALL of OR girls soccer. I guarantee you that decent teams from Thusc, FCP, WST, etc ALL tried their best to beat TT. TT always beat my dd's team. I wish TT had done better at Regionals. Now my dd's team (and my dd) look even worse.

Doing ODP and local US Soccer training means absolutely nothing. Maybe meant something 10-20 years ago but those channels are all about money grabs now, nothing more. No development, no identification. If you want to have any chance to get invited to a national team camp your DD MUST play at FCP or CU. There is no other way in Oregon.

That's funny, when did us soccer trainings start costing to attend?

For years FC Portland has been trying to use this chat room for recruiting. It's all smoke and mirrors. The 2001 FC Portland ECNL team finished fourth in OYSA. Not great when you think about it.

That makes no sense and its crazy how you feel you have to lie to justify your situation.

Typical fc parent. Typical.

No development? Then why do fc and cu coaches keep trying to recruit other kids when they are notorious for not developing.

I know you are lying because there has been more kids going to national camp coming from every other club than fc portland and cu combined.

I can start naming you them right now. But you said no chance....

Typical fc parent trying to sell lies.

TT only beat THUSC in PK's and that was once. Other time they played they tied. Just sayin
