    Just ask the Thorns Academy about that one...

      This is a stupid comment. Landing in the middle of the pack in a bunch of games that could have gone either way... is NOT getting spanked. Definition of spanked = getting beat 7-0 which incidentally has happened to some of our Oregon ECNL teams. Ridiculous.

        No team has lost 7-0 in ECNL play. Our U18 team did lose to Crossfire in NWCL play 7-0 with no subs, forwards playing defenders and a keeper playing up. Not making excuses but saying it is ridiculous is a bit much as 13 of these girls will play next year in college and 9 went D1. They will be just fine.

            I'm sure those girls on the Thorns will be fine. Believe me no ECNL parents are talking trash about Thorns. It is anti ECNL folks posting the hateful things about them here.

              That's a bad loss with that many players going to college. Hope none of their college coaches were there.

                Oh that is so sweet of you to care so much. Like I said they will all be just fine.

                  Spanked = All-State All-Star team with unlimited resources, a professional training environment, and world class coaching finishing 4th out of 6 in FWRL to 2nd tier club teams.

                  Expectations were set from Day 1 by the Timbers: We will win FWRL and qualify for FW Regionals. And play Surf Cup. And get GREAT competition playing up in OYSA. So far - NOTHING! Thorns Academy is ONE and DONE.

                    Did the Thorns Academy travel at all or just play in Oregon and Wasington?

                      I think you took one sentence out of context. I didn't say that the team losing 7-0 was ridiculous, rather that calling the Thorns losers because they came in 4th in FWRL is ridiculous. Teams lose sometimes and the poster was being idiotic. My oldest daughter plays D1 now and has played many times on teams where they got stomped. A team getting stomped has zero to do with the success of the individuals. Sadly, some people on this board will have nothing to brag or talk smack about after youth soccer. So, they tend to make much ado out of nothing.

                        No travel yet. They are going to Players Showcase next weekend to play in the bottom division of U18 against Rogue Valley Timbers and the like.

                          To me it is obvious that you are either 1) trolling or 2) a parent of a child that probably is average at best and maybe sub par. Good luck and enjoy your trolling.

                            And I have said on this board many times that ECNL parents are not bashing the Thorns team, as my dd and most of my dd's team did ODP for years. It is a troll. Looks like I did take it out of context but you still brought up that score.

                              Sorry to of hit a nerve. Scores suck sometimes but I don't read all that much into them. As you took the ridiculous comment out of context I thought an ECNL parent had bashed on the Thorns for coming in 4th in FWRL. I don't really think it is ECNL parents now. Sorry!!

                                Make no mistake, 80% of the negative comments here are seeded by inflammatory comments by one guy. He tries to create drama on both sides.
