    Not enough tried out for Thorns to post U15/U17 selections???

    Imagine that. Had the younger age group lists up right away but can't afford to post U15/U17 lists showing 8 or 9 players each. What a fiasco!!!

    Numbers were fine in these age groups. The issue is who is getting forced up to play with the 99/00 team. Major revolt going on about that issue.

      Photos posted by Thorns GDA didn't look "fine". Field looked absolutely barren, although they tried to make it look better by spreading the girls out really far and have them practice their bootballs to each other.

          Have the players been offered spots?

            Yes, looks like a real "fiasco"...

                Of course it will be 14 just in case there are injuries, illness etc Makes perfect sense.

                  Looks like a good group. You'll have to work hard s to get your playing time. But atleast it's not draining the bank.

                    Cue the posters who spent years mocking ECNL teams for carrying rosters of 23-24, when only 18 can travel, but who are now totally behind a roster of 25 when only 14 can travel.

                      Excuse me, but this is the selection list. There will be declines so the final roster will work out just fine, regardless of your criticism.

                            True, all the non-Thorns girls already declined.

                              I imagine you have the personal contact information for every single one of those players to get firsthand affirmation....
