More defections from DA to ECNL

I say again...nearly 100 percent. Think about that. Let that sink in real deep.

So, what else ya got?

So what? Same is true for ECNL.

DA is a lot more athlete friendly in terms of the training, number of games per day, and curriculum. ECNL is for chest thumping parents who love their kids trophies. There’s something for everyone in this world. And DA keeping NT players in house is a great idea for them and should have been done by rule from the beginning.

They are virtually identical as would be expected as they are both modeled more or less on the boys DA. This pissing contest is tiresome.

ECNL teams play one game per day and have double weekends like the DA. The DA sub rules are athlete friendly? Going to GA for a game because you cannot get decent competition locally other than Spirit MD is athlete friendly?

You have nothing of substance.

So the ECNL is for trophy chasing parents and the DA is for NT chasing parents? The ECNL was modeled from the Boys DA and was the number #1 source for YNT roster spots. The GDA has emerged and unsuccessfully TRIED to steal everything the ECNL built because even they realized the power of the league.

If US Soccer truly cares, they would promote both pathways and allow for the leagues to compete at national showcases. The Penn Fusion people got it right. Recruiters and Scouts at one event watching ECNL and DA players compete with one another. Let let them be the judge. That's how we all win.

Nah, that's just how ECNL "wins." You are correct in that now that US Soccer has formed the GDA, ECNL is obsolete. There's no need for an ECNL now that there is an officially sanctioned organization.

How's the weather in Richmond today?

No need for either of these overpriced oversold fake mini "pro" leagues for kids. They are like expensive amusement parks providing a fake experience. No other place teaches kids to play this game in this ridiculous manner.

Yes. They should all just play rec.

The weather in NOVA is nice. Thanks for asking.

Do you want the ECNL to disappear so you can claim that your daughter is in the superior league? Sounds like trophy chasing to me!

Do you want the GDA to produce the same product that the Boys DA has produced? You believe that US Soccer knows best?

God speed son.

Well it isn’t like the ECNL produced U20 team can manage a win against Japan or played well against France.

[Anonymous]

How do you expect any super deluxe pay to play soccer environment to produce world cups? That does not seem to be how world cups are won. Neither of these leagues is well positioned if that is the goal.

[Anonymous]

Leagues dont win world cups. They get you recruited for college.

Picking the right players and placing them with the right trainers in the right enviorment wins world cups.

That's why little countries with limited resources can compete.

Right players. Right trainers. Right enviorment. Fully funded. Year around for the select few.

Let's get a clue people.

LOL you are certifiable. The number of straw men posted here is over the top. No one was arguing any of that.

It's simple.....ECNL is no longer needed. It was created to fill a gap, per your admission. Sure, it can go on for reasons of ego and this silly war can continue. That doesn't benefit anyone.

There's a great book on this entitled "Who moved my cheese." You ECNL'ers should read it. Applies exactly to your situation. Now, go find that cheese.

Ummm--the "super deluxe pay to play" league produced the WWC win in 2015. Next.
