G99 NPL Fall 2013-2014

If you had a kid at FCP you would know that fall league is considered development time. State Cup is when we play to win.

Still holding on that you're the champs of Eugene, THUSC and LO. Congrats! Two-Time Champs. You are the best out of 4 teams!!

We'll see this weekend.....if FC loses they'll say its development time.

Better that than to run away and hide in your own Timbers bootball league I guess.

Thats a laugh.........news flash. THUSC will always be that way and FCP is no better. They just "try" when they play BSC.

You have to give the nod to Eugene when it comes to OPL league play. They are the defending winners of league play and haven't shown any reason to think they won't be challenging for the top spot again this year. Same time they haven't dominated their age group and I don't think any reasonable parent would just pencil them in as winning league play, they will have to earn it.

It seems the way the soccer world works, much more value is placed on tournaments and cups. They basically use league play to determine who plays in NWCL and other regional play. In Oregon (and I believe other states), state champs are determined by tournaments, not league play. So it's hard to take away FC's accomplishments of winning two state cups in a row. I don't buy this idea that FC uses fall OPL season for developmental. That club is all about winning and will do anything to add another notch to their resume of winning OPL or State Cup so they can parade it on their website or at their parents meetings. They want the division title as much as the other clubs.

FCSC (and Vancouver in general) produce good teams. But I have trouble understanding or relating with the parents in these clubs. I don't know if there is a complex or a feeling of being disrespected, but there seems to be a lot of disgruntled and upset people when it comes to Vancouver.

Should be a fun and interesting fall season. I like the fact there is no dominant team . . . I see it as five very competitive teams at this age group all having a chance to be league champs and/or state champs in 2014.

I disagree. I do not think there is a higher value given to tournaments. League play allows teams to play each other both home and away. League is much more indicative of who the best teams in the state are, not the State Cup.

Not if the best players aren't playing and if the team isn't focused on winning.

Must be an FC parent. All teams are focused on winning. If you don't finish in top 4 you don't play NWCL. Why would a team not try to win league play? It's like saying a team doesn't want to win state cup and uses it to develop players. Who is going to believe that? No one is buying that FC uses fall league play to develop and I can't believe some parents are trying to push this.

It such a dumb idea that I suspect it is someone pretending to be an FC parent to try and make FC parents look stupid.

Of course they would like to win league but priority is to finish top 4, then win state for big tourney invites. State Cup tourney is a bigger deal to FC than fall.

I guess you are smarter than everyone involved at FC. That Vantucky moonshine has u at top of your class. Well done!

Please understand that NO ONE outside of Hillsburrito gives a rip about the Oregon state cup. It is one step up from winning the Mt Hood Cup and one below LO Nike Challenge. Lmao

Such a dumb idea...you should tell the other top clubs that don't go for the all out wins during league play.

Most quality clubs focus on development for league play. Sure they care about NWCL and will focus on winning what they need to, but with the top three-four teams in this age group, there are plenty of games to focus on development. Obviously, no club would use state cup for development, so your analogy makes no sense other than you are grasping at straws trying to make them look bad. Why not just lay out what your beef is with them?

We've been playing FCP for years and we know when they want to bring it, they will, and I hold my breath every time we play them (2 age groups).

Winning league means a lot to FC so please stop with this developmental thing. You can develop and win. Every time we play FC it's the same group of girls in the same positions. Every team has certain games they can use for developmental purposes.

I got no beef with FC. I will continue to challenge the idea that they use fall OPL league for development.

If it is for development (like spring league is) why don't they make 3 teams like spring league so every player get lots of playing time? Explain to me how having 18 on a team every game and telling some of the players they can't play that weekend because they have no spots left on the bench is developing players? The answer: Fall is not about development but about winning league. Winter and Spring are about development and that is why FC does things differently in the spring than in the fall.

FC is a solid club, one of the best in the area, but stop with the we lose because we are developing BS. It's a tough league with some really good teams, FC, like any other team, can lose even thought they are trying to win.
