FC vs. Crossfire United

[Unregistered]

Wrong

I don't think FC at the U15's will be better then CU, they lost the 3 of the best players to the 14's and only added 1 good player - CU combined 3 of the top 4 teams for teams - that has to do something

They added several new great players. I believe 2 dropped to age from the Washington Crossire ECNL and another girl from Timbers Red and some other pickups I'm not sure about.

Really? Did they? FCs ECNL team lost in the Beaverton Cup? Is that true?

Who did they lose to?

funny, but not true.

About the only ECNL team that has been around long enough would be the U14's. I have heard they do friendlies mostly but did go north to play in the WCDA league stuff. Not sure the quality of the teams, but fared well, from what I have heard from my friends with kids on the team. No friends at U14/CU so don't know about them.

From the rumors, tryouts, history and such this is what I think will be:

U14 FC >CU Won state cup last year and get some nice additions fromt he 99's
U15 FC>CU - FC added a couple of good players but THUSC/Crossfire combo will be close
U16 CU>FC - Onyx is still the best at this age
U17 CU>FC - won state cup this year and added some decent players
U18 FC>CU - FC added some good players and will easily win this age group

FC's U14's added three from the 99's, a bend 99' and three or four from SW WA. This is a team much improved since winning state cup. FCP U15 will lose those three while CU will be merging players from the old zirc. team and L.O. which historically were solid teams. I would call that one even or in favor of CU until we see some results. The rest I would agree.

They played a bunch of mid and lower level teams and came away with some 2-1 and 1-0 victories.

You're vastly underestimating the quality of the Vancouver girls that FC added. This group leans heavily to the FC side.

Thanks dad. And btw, I'm enjoying the daily drive over the bridge.

And you are vastly underestimating the kids they lost to U14. It was an even trade. Kids in kids out.

Good players are willing to travel to good clubs. Dempsey had to travel 2 hours to practice, for example.

Over the bridge or north for 2-3 hours. Take your pick 'cause there's nothing in Vancouver.

Might want to ask Landon Donovan what he thought about having to get shipped out of CA to play with the Montana ODP?

Not much over the bridge either

She might since she didn't post. Your derogatory misogynistic flames are misguided but on par with your personal vendetta against THUSC who isn't even involved with these Vancouver players. They are going to FC.

That's too bad. They would have helped.
