You have no idea but keep telling yourself that and making ignorant posts about a topic you have no idea about. You are wrong or lying. Take your pick.

You are absolutely clueless. You must be a THUSC coach. You can't even follow simple logic and have a reply that even comes close to addressing the subject. Now go back and get on your knees in front of Tom, he likes you best. Oh, and keep working, I'm sure that some day you will be able to count to three.

Hahahahaha!!!! You must be a TA fool!! No alliance is getting in to the ECNL. The timbers and your ridiculous alliance had no chance. That is also why ECNL was awarded to THUSC and not some sort of alliance between CO and THUSC. Do the math. THUSC and CO did what was right for ECNL and soccer.

Keep hatin. You can't do anything about it but post lies and misinformationon anonymous forums.

Thusc failed three times to get ECNL.

TA won't even try and get ECNL, because they know they will never get it. Even with all of your alliance teams you will never get ECNL.

Doesn't matter, they have it now. Jealous TA troll. Just be happy with your little academy, while it lasts.

And had to have OC bail them out. FC got in without any help. We sure know which club is a top club and which club was a nobody, at least until OC came along.

So do you believe anything Tom or Fraser tell you? There is no way THUSC wanted to combine. They only did it because there was no other way they would get ECNL. I suspect it was pretty dang clear to Tom that if he had waited another year it would be too late. Folks would have moved on. His choice of partners wasn't about bringing more talent to the table. It was entirely about money. I think what they have done is a classic example of why not to have programs like ECNL run through a club as opposed to run outside of clubs. CO didn't bring in any new coaches, they didn't upgrade facilities. Really what they have asked people to do, especially those who were not already THUSC members is ignore that it is just THUSC repackaged with an extra practice day and a new patch for your sleeve.

Obviously folks don't seem to care whether the leagues unite, but it was a rare opportunity for ECNL and ECNL Oregon if they could have pushed the leagues together. Then they would be able to argue they have brought something new to the table.

Combining was the last thing Tom wanted to do, but it was his only shot at getting accepted. It's not uncommon knowledge that USYS does not like Tom. It's not a well kept secret in fact. That's why he was denied and would continue to get denied until CO came along with their alliance with Crossfire Washington. CW was as big of a reason he got it as anything. And the worst part is that these ECNL teams are practicing with up to four other teams on a field. You make a $10,000 committment to soccer and they give you a quarter of a field to practice on. Plus the same coaches with the same methods and techniques, which were not great to begin with.

You say this without knowing. This is pure conjecture and you're wrong.

FC wouldn't have made it in had THUSC and CO not done what they did. They have zero results outside oregon and we all know state championships don't count for **** in Oregon.

***...I am not even quite sure where to start to respond to your ridiculous attempt at logic...

"That is also why ECNL was awarded to THUSC and not some sort of alliance between CO and THUSC." I am at a loss for words...are you aware it was awarded to an alliance between CO and THUSC? After denying THUSC 3 times in a row. So I guess as far as lies and misinformation you are the source. But go ahead be like Tom, if you claim and holler something enough times maybe people will ignore the fact it is untrue and just believe you because you say it so much.

Really?...I don't think TA really has any desire to have ECNL, and now that it will bankrupt what is left of OPL, it plays out perfectly for the Timbers folks. Save your little post, maybe you can draw some solace from it when your club goes under.

I'm still shaking my head in looking back to the Tom and Fraser meeting and the repeated "because it's ECNL", "and because we are ECNL", "well, we are ECNL", .... When you can't answer a questions, just use one of those phrases.

THUSC was denied twice. ECNL was awarded to THUSC. THUSC and CO are working together on ECNL. It's time for you to go back to the ECNL $10,000,000 threads and post your misinformed stupid there.

Perhaps you fail at listening. I was there and that simply isn't what happened.
