Is eastside fc anywhere close to seattle united and crossfire

Says an “unbiased” SU parent.

Depends on the age group and whether boys or girls. In some of these brackets EFC is the beast.

There is only one 08 “trapped player” on that XF team, even though per ECNL rules they are allowed up to two, so stop fabricating things that aren’t true

And that player is not one of their strong players anyway. He sits the bench.

We are still talking about this a year later?? It’s over, no one cares.

There was some nuance to that 4-1 WPFC game - WPFC took advantage of a weird loophole that allows older players to guest if they are 8th graders with no ability to play high school soccer in the spring. So there is a window right now where some 08s can play for the 09s. I know my son's team will have 08s train with the 09s but not play in legit games because it messes with the team dynamic and won't help them get better for the post-season ECNL (where those 08s would not be allowed on the field with them. I get that it sucks for the kids in 8th grade, but that rule does seem to mess with the integrity of the conference results IMO.

Re: the 08 Eastside boys being front of SU this year - SU 08s took a hit this year losing a handful of players to the Sounders. This will likely be the same case for the 09 team next year. Eastside will probably lose an 09 or two as well. Crossfire 09s already lost 2 kids to the Sounders last year and that is why they were beatable this year.

Eastside seems like a really well coached club with a good culture. I would agree with those who say that they are generally not that far behind SU on the boys side. If I lived on the eastside I would personally choose it for my over Xfire just to avoid the craziness at Crossfire, assuming the particular coach was a good fit for my kid.

Re: the comment that SU 09 will beat Crossfire this weekend - from your lips to God's ears! While I want SU to win, I would disagree with anyone who says either team has a strong advantage going into this one. This should be a crazy intense game for all the chips. Hopefully the SU 09s can close it out like the 10s did this weekend. Go United!

What are you talking about?! Not a single b08 from Eastside went to Sounders. B08 now has a couple of part time Sounders player that comes on weekends to help boost ranking.

Eastside may do the least out of any club with the amount of talent they attract.

Looking at the younger age groups on boys and girls side it seems like they are getting better. At older age groups on boys side they are top 4 like they have been for last few years.
