Crossfire Premier leaving GDA, All in ECNL

[Unregistered]

The adults wearing sweatpants at US soccer cannot force elite players to do anything. USSF needs them way more than they need USSF. Sad but true.

If you are an adult wearing “sweatpants” that sends a message.

That’s why GDA is failing.

I think a move back to OYSA would be very positive for the thorns. Get a few wins. Start to feel good about themselves. Build some confidence. Then focus on the little things. The building blocks. The psychology of sports is so important. If you keep losing eventually it will eat away at confidence and that can be demoralizing.

If they are still running ODP, I think it would be terrible for Oregon.

Make a choice - run a youth club, or run OYSA; running both is a bad thing for Oregon.

This is big news. Crossfire Premier is one of the top clubs in the country. California teams are bailing because they don’t want to travel to play weaker teams than they can play in town. New York is teetering. Michigan is out. Timbers unloaded the thorns.

Not looking good for the gda. If they don’t merge with ECNL it could be a rough road ahead.

The rumor is that the Thorns will run a subsidized ECNL program.

That reminds me of one of my favorite Lyslo quotes:

As most people will tell you in the soccer world, ECNL will go away in a few years with the USDA being in full-swing.

They to being informed is to listen very carefully to whatever Peregrine staff tell you.

Most male National team players never played in HS since the DA has been around since 2007.

Please do some research before you post, or continue to create fantasy narratives. It use to funny now it’s simply very sad and desperate.

This was a GDA thread, right? Who give a hoot if the sorry suck-ass men's soccer team players have played HS soccer. Girls for the most part like playing soccer in HS, which is why these top clubs are leaving GDA.

That is funny

If Westside signs the announcement letter, it would be very, very funny.

Not true. The men's NT is generally ancient and most played high school. Also, the HS rule didn't go into effect right away - it was 4 years in or so, like 2011.

I don’t see this happening. Don’t need three ECNL teams in Oregon. ECNL knows that.

I also don’t see ECNL allowing a third club in Portland, but would Thorns partner with a current ECNL club?

That would be a good move.
