Geez, Timbers Alliance tie eastside 3-3.

Just a month ago

BSC beat them 3-1
Washington Timbers beat them 4-1

The TA must not have the top players in the area

Timbers were up 3-0 with 11 minutes left in the game. Have up 3 goals over the final 3 minutes, and ended up in a draw...yikes.

Timbers honestly have too many kids on that roster (for various reasons). Eastside subbed 3 players at 35 and the worked as a team. Timbers sub 6 and the lead disappears.

Are you surprised? Timbers did it to themselves.....

Nope. Has to be tough for parents to watch a few subs come in with 10 minutes left that blatantly don’t belong on that team. Ahhhh Oregon soccer.

Doesn't that presume the parents / kids are putting how "the team" does above the importance of the individual player. I know it's hard to divorce ourselves from that mind set, but DA is about individual player development (right?). I'm sure there was some rationalizing of individual performance going on after the game ended ....

If a team is a DEVELOPMENT team, then everyone should get an opportunity to play, right? It's in the DA rules, after all. If a player is on the roster, he gets to play, even if it's only for ten minutes. Due to DA sub rules, though a ten minute stint generally happens at the beginning (player starts and is subbed off in ten minutes) or at the end (player comes in for last ten minutes).

Now, TA might have players that don't belong--who aren't sufficiently-skilled prospects for a subsidized pro academy. That, there, is a big issue. But complaining "the benchwarmers threw the game away" is missing the point of DA--the players on the team should get to play.

Key words are "suggested" and "recommended"- not required

Not sure 10 minutes is what he envisioned when he wrote the check...and MAYBE the coaches need to figure out how to mix "them" in better so they don't get exposed like that

I wonder if the DC United TS forum talks about the trump kid this way. I feel bad for the kid and hope that he never sees all these comments

And how long until the disgruntled parents begin going over the head of TA directly to US Soccer to try and get the suggested playing time standard addressed? Or who knows it may have already happened based on this post. Either way, you should have known it was going to be shady from the start based on how this team was formed....

Are all the age groups shady, or just this one?
