      Well, I suppose I could type up my top team list but I only know two age groups. I can't believe FC Portland ECNL is fairly represented here.

        Eastside 02s are right there with CU Ecnl. Tied when they played last year and both seem to do the same against like teams.

        Wash t 04s are 3rd or 4th not 2nd

          Salmon creek 03s are a good add.

          Eastside 02s are tied with crossfire United ECNL. They tied when they played and both have similar results against same teams.

          Thorns Academy 00/01 are better than salmon creek 00s?

          Washington Timbers 04 are 3rd or 4th not 2nd.

          GPS 03 are clearly ahead of cu Ecnl.

              GPS parents — Tryouts are over. They only people you are trying to convince “you are the best” are other gps parents. Everyone else knows the truth. That you almost got beat by Crossfire OR during State Cup finals. You guys actually looked pretty evenly matched. Good luck at your Nationals.

                Yep, teams that hide in OYSA and don't challenge themselves to get better by playing the top competition in the country (ECNL) quickly fall behind. Not a new story - just something the GPS parents need to get used to.

                  I agree, it's more than a challenge to convince parents to fork over thousands to travel and play teams that would be average in Oregon. Fly Away, Please!!!

                    Each family spent around 15k last year. Ouch!

Whichever one won the first match would refuse any rematches and claim forever that they’re superior. Dumb. These two top teams should be playing each other constantly so both would get even better.

                        To the above poster:

                        We haven't played CU 03 (watched them play) but we've played GPS and I highly doubt they split 50/50. My opinion would be CU doesn't see the ball much as they are more direct and they don't match up well against GPS who would pass around them much of the game and they win if they can score doing it. But that's my opinion.

                        CU has dodged GPS in the past. I can see why they would keep wanting to avoid them. CU only operates right now on the illusion of being better by a once good league

                        Agree on salmon creek but that team can beat nearly anyone while also losing to nearly anyone.

                        .

                          Where oh where has FC Portland gone?

                          Time for some new coaches or they need to leave Ecnl for better development. Either way they cannot maintain with CU and the thorns along with other random teams next to them.

                              Agree. Crossfire United 00 ECNL shouldn't even be talked about. They had a -40 goal differential and salmon creek 00 was the first to show how bad the Ecnl teams actually are.

                                We haven't played CU 03 (watched them play) but we've played GPS and I highly doubt they split 50/50. My opinion would be CU doesn't see the ball much as they are more direct and they don't match up well against GPS who would pass around them much of the game and they win if they can score doing it. But that's my opinion.

                                CU has dodged GPS in the past. I can see why they would keep wanting to avoid them. CU only operates right now on the illusion of being better by a once good league

                                Agree on salmon creek but that team can beat nearly anyone while also losing to nearly anyone.

                                .
                                Thanks for your unbiased opinion, GPS Dad!
