Fall 2024 - ECNL is forcing Brave to partner/merge with Union. Confirmed. |
Boys? Girls? Both? |
Both girls and boys |
That reduces the size of ECNL (fewer clubs and teams). Why would ECNL want that? |
That would make it a McLean/vienna/BRYC situation?
Would be interesting because on the RL front, BRYC and Villareal have a setup where one handles boys and one handles girls. |
Confirm my nuts. Junk posting |
Confirmed 😂. Nothing is confirmed until it's public. If this happens that's less local games for these clubs up here. |
Simple. Talent consolidation. The DMV is terribly diluted. NOVA can't support 5 ECNL clubs while also adding now 3 GA options and remain competitive on a national stage. ECNL is only aggressively expanding and taking GA clubs to kill of GA. Once GA is no longer a credible threat ECNL will then prune the vines through the use of the Regional league for underperforming clubs. |
Exactly. Sh*t stirring. |
Joe Biden just got younger and is now 51 years old. Confirmed. See, anyone can do it. |
If the soccer ecosystem was this organized like a corporate takeover you are describing sure, but soccer is far from that organized or planned out as you are suggesting this current ECNL takeover to be. GA is fine, you will see |
What’s happened to McLean? They needed syc then great falls and now Braddock road and Vienna? |
There's just more options to play surrounding them. |
Quality over Quantity perhaps? |
What happened to VDA they needed, PWSI, VSA? What happened to Loudoun? They needed Valor and GFR. What happened to Richmond United? They needed Richmond Kickers and Strikers. What happened to FCV? They needed Ashburn, South County, and a gym. |
