My TA prediction is this will be a closer game. Looks like Washington Premier is the class of the 05 DA teams in Washington, followed likely by Crossfire and PacNW. Eastside is probably in the second tier with Seattle United and maybe Surf. Snohomish and Washington Rush looks to be at the bottom so far.

I'm going guess that Eastside wins maybe 4-3 or 5-3. With TA having a lead going into half.

Oh, I don't disagree--my kid isn't there either.

Instead, my point is--don't expect it to be fair. It never is. There is no objective standard for assessing soccer talent, especially at this age (when children may be in different stages of physical or mental development). And given that this is a "development" league, meaning that nobody's job is on the line if wins aren't produced immediately, politics is more likely to creep into the process. And that is true even if everything is on the level (and with one parent funding the team, it's clear that not everything is).

But also don't despair about it; if TA does turn into a fustercluck, then it's not likely to be the royal road to success that some think it is.

It does not have to be about "fair" everywhere, but it should be about fair and absolute based on ability at the timbers academy level if we truly are to believe in a development path for our kids and that the "next level" is the Timbers. How much does your ds get out of practicing with and against Malfoy and his cronie arrogant one (daddy miller)??? Just remember that as you continue to run your pie hole (behind the scenes) to who you think are friends, dont think it does not get out and guess what- the rest of us hear about it. at some point you need to shut your mouth and just let him be the above average player that he is and quit interjecting your negativity, it is taking away from his ability on the field. Hope you are happy. Even if you want to retort or refute my statement, one is too many. Step back and let him do him and support him from the shadows....

He knows exactly who is being addressed and undressed. Now that you are in mixed company it comes out that you were and are the one who has repeatedly bad mouthed kids now on your kids team as well as others in this age group on various other teams. Start anew and shut your mouth is what I recommend and maybe it will blow over

No they dont, it's a disservice to them. But good news is their parents can say their kid plays for TA. Way to go mom and dad..,

Apparently he likes soccer, a lot. I suppose that's a good thing. (And apparently DC United's U12 DA doesn't take itself too seriously....)
