3. OPL Directors Cup done
4. OPL cul de sac Cup done
5. Timbers USSDA will grow to u12 to u18 comprehensive club for boys and girls
6. Thorns will be a u12 to u18 Girls ECNL or similar program
7. Timber Alliance teams of today will go back to their former names
8. Parents will not pay today's prices for 2nd level club teams that remain after the Timbers club is created. (best of the best)
9. Everyone except the Timbers will be a 2nd tier club when they (Timbers) stretch into the Boys & Girls from u11 to u18, eventually going down to kinder ages.
10. Parent coaches will be needed in 5 years to fill the void left by the former paid premier coaches who arent' premier without premier players.

5 years from today come back and read this post.

LOL! You're kidding right? You think the Timbers will expand the Thorns when there is no money in it?

This is some grade A propaganda right here. LMFAO!!

The only things for sure are that #5, #6, and #9 will not happen on girls side. Timbers has a long way to go to prove themselves the "best of the best". They are nowhere close when it comes to girls soccer, and it's not clear that they are even #1 on the boys side.

Timbers are not growing the thorns. They couldn't even manage to win OYSA this year, in a watered down league to begin with.


The leagues are split and I for one am fine with that. But then I don't want to drive to Medford.

#1 There is no such thing as Crossfire. Combining teams from LOSC, SSC and WUSC is called consolidation, not Crossfire.

#2, #3, # 4 are self evident trend. 5 years is a stretch, try 1 or 2 years.

# 5 has been decided, so it's already happening.

#6 Interesting

#7 If #5 is up and going it makes perfect sense. Their can only be one Timbers club.

# 8 You overestimate the intelligence of parents.

#9 Redundant but true

#10 True
