Boys 05

[Unregistered]

I dunno. Seems like CU vs Portland Thorns vs GDA vs FCP vs whatever. Even more fractured then the boys

Oh THAT. That's just business as usual for girls parents.

Wow 05 parents, what a two weeks!

- FCP beats WT, again! Crossfire keeper didn't save the day?
- The "beast incarnate" (remember this is a kid and while you may not like his style of play he can't even drive yet, so lay off!!) is red carded only for it to be rescinded on a technicality. Only for ADF dad to present video evidence of his "dirty" play.
- FCP wins State Cup
- ADF dad plans to protest, how'd that go btw?
- Ben B finally buys, I mean gets, his all star team. But for how long?
- DA tryouts go on, yes the world exists outside Big DA
- ADF gets dismantled? That's a question, not a statement
- We cross 133k views! Suck it 06 parents (DX crotch chip!)
- Presumably IFC/GPS, 4H, and ADF step into way too early favorite roles for winning the now third tier OYSA premier league state cup. Seriously it's now third tier. State cup means nothing.
- The crazy girl parents went even more crazy

Now what though? Should we start planning on picking apart Big DA results? Maybe a summer BBQ where all the boys can play and the dads (and one crazy Westside mom) can have a last "Man" standing cave match for who has the best soccer playing son (my money is on WT mom knocking out FCP grandpa to win the title)?

I'll miss this craziness. Keep it tight, keep it real. Peace.

Haha...well said sir. I think this thread will continue to stay active. I mean, at the very least WE are going to continue to bash whichever team is doing well. And when all else fails, there will always be the low hanging Westside fruit to pluck and squash. In the (now somewhat legendary) words of Grandpa FC....GOOOOOOO PORTLAND)

So the little DA does not standings I hear. I trust we can all keep a fair accounting of games on here, correct? How does everybody's little DA teams look? FC? Westside? Crossfire? Salem? BSC? Washington? Eastside? ADF.....oh, oops....this is embarrassing. I did not mean to make this awkward...okay, please disregard ADF.

You sure sound like you think your DS is someone's losing out due to this? Really why does it matter. If they want to form a super team and sequester them on a bus every weekend, who cares.

This is a serious question. Did your son try out and not make it?

Yes, my son is on the Timbers Academy team and we are more than familiar with the nepotism that undermined our old ADF team.

Which age group at Timbers Academy and what nepotism at ADF?

Which age group at Timbers Academy and what nepotism at ADF?

Okay, to summarize.

2016- ADF is not a stand alone club. They are affiliated with LA Amistad.

Ben Billups, local millionaire with a DS of little to no talent is training with a coach from Brazil. Daddy Warbucks wants his DS to play high level soccer, even though talent wise, the son is rec level. Being a savvy business man, BB feels out clubs and realizes that ADF is ripe for hostile takeover..er, I mean an infusion of cash....um, I mean an investiment opportunity...how about this, the truth....
BB flies his coach from Brazil, and then brings his money, and his coach to ADF for the 2005 boys. BB finances the program and subsidizes the entire 2005 team. ADF starts off very inconsistently, and is throttled a few times, but shows some promise. They have a large roster and a lot of dis-satisfied parents and kids. Lo and behold, a revolution takes place. Kids and parents are not fans of BB's son's play on the field. A liability that could not be covered up. Coach is told that he can longer coach the 05's, which means he can no longer play BB's son, which means BB takes his collective fundraising ball (son, money and coach) and goes home.

However, BB is not to be deterred. He realizes that he has what it takes to make opportunities happen for his Son, despite the Son's lack of abilities. Sure enough, BB the Timbers to jump into bed with him, and creates a traveling team for the Generation Adidas Cup tournament in April. Private invites were issued to people identified by BB's coach, and others identified by the Timbers. Tryouts took place at Fano Creek and of course, only the best were selected....and BB's Son. The Portland Timber's U12 team manages to finish 3rd...or middle of the pack.

Now some background about this little field trip to Houston. The entire trip was free for the players. AND...remember how long it took to get State Cup schedules? Coincidentally enough, once the schedules were released, it was learned that the club teams for BB's travel team kids, all CONVENIENTLY had ZERO games that weekend. (If you ask a Timber's apologist they will tell you this was due to Easter.)

Finally, the Timbers DA have 2005 this year (and for awhile looked to be the only DA opportunity in town) the TA is going to play in Washington and have a chartered bus for every game. The Timber's and BB relationship still alive and well. BB's kid on TA, BB coach the 2005 TA coach. The rest to come...

A little correction: finishes "11th" only because they had the 2 worst teams in their pool. Those 2 teams would go on to lose the "19th" place game and the "17th" place game out of 20 in Dallas- just to clarify

I thought La Amistad is now IFC, maybe GPS? Can't follow the constant changes.

To clarify a bit more. The Timbers DA team finished 3rd out of 5th in their group, and 11th overall out of 20.

In the middle of the pack.

To clarify a statement from the OP, during the 2015-2016 season ADF operated in collaboration with La Amistad. Beginning with the 2016-2017 season, ADF now operates as their own club. No longer any affiliation with La Amistad or IFC clubs, which have now combined with GPS teams.

Clarification please.

Is this all about access to fields?

If PTFC picked up this kid due to money then they've lost all credibility. PTFC, Larry Sunderland and Mike Smith would need to be called out if this is true. But I wouldn't be surprised. The strange thing is that no one has been able to verify the '05 Coaches credentials. I think he is a fake and the Timbers have hired him! LOLOLOLOL

The Timbers Academy is a complete joke and scam!
You can only make a team if you are privately trained by one of their coaches.

No wonder 23 players declined spots this year

Lost the 10th place game which was against another 3rd place pool finisher. Not really even a "middle of the pack team" actually one of the 5 worst teams and did not pass the ball at all according to reports..but why would anyone expect anything different from the "best team that ben/money can buy"

Good luck verifying his credentials. And don't assume he will address or improve any of the attitude/behavior problems on that roster. This could end very badly.
