Eastside now the Thorns?

[Unregistered]

No chance

So there is no chance Eastside is taking over the thorns.

They have one of the best girls coaches in the state as the DOC
They have the nicest complex in the state and soon to be the NW
They have a great relationship with the pro team, as they have put three home grown players into the first team.
They are continually investing in themselves.

It is one or the other...why would you take on a program in a league where you really dont know which direction it is going? Let others test the waters then swoop in once its starts trending in the right direction. No need to burn up your cash reserves if you already have a good thing going as you have stated.

It is not a question of if the US GDA will become the top league, it will. US Soccer has chosen this platform as the way to the US National team in the future. US Club Soccer and the ECNL will have to adjust. Things are always changing.

I can see it is on the up and up.....lol.

There is a GDA because of the support of the Boys DA. Can you say lawsuit? If US Soccer was serious, they would try and get as many you kids playing this sport from the grassroot of it.

GDA is on it's deathbed, especially in Portland. No one asked for it, no one wants it, as you can see with all of the top clubs telling US Soccer to shove it. ECNL is the top league in the country and will be for many years to come.

Trump is one of the worst human beings to walk the face of this planet. Not a good bone in his body. Once the bill comes due for the massive tax cuts he gave to the wealthy and foreign investors, the economy will crash hard. We’ll have pollute water, air, and morals. Lost moral authority in the world.

But yeah he’s great. Human rights abuses. Draft dodger. Cheating on his wife with gross women. Liar.

Just a general horrible human.

Yep, they saw the dollar signs and wanted it all. Turns out they got nothing but a bunch of rec players that can't afford to pay and don't know how to play.

Doesn't mean he's a bad president though. Certainly much more effective than Obama/Clinton.

US Club got all the $$$ from 2 of our local rec clubs, jus sayin!

BTW the NWSL Portland Thorns DA & MLS Timbers DA are both subsidized for those selected & they are the only entity allowed into the "big" DA.

You have a point though after the DA everything else could be easily classified as Recreational. Understood.
