2011 ECNL/GA Predictions

Preseason, chill, blah, blah. Team was 37-0-4 last year playing other 2011 girls teams. Dominant team in Virginia. Shutting out everybody. Next!

They'll likely dominate the local area here. It will be interesting to see how they fare through the year in the MA. I'm a little surprised that they did not enter the NoVA Super Cup held by VDA to flex a little more but it's likely that they didn't want to play the same opponents again.

I’m frankly surprised they are not flying to Florida or Texas or something this weekend for a tournament.

Not sure why we need all the flexing from the Arlington dads. There is general agreement that this team is very strong. Congratulations to them.

I wonder if there is a forum somewhere where Erling Haaland's dad is trying to convince everyone how great Manchester City is ("...they won the Treble! Next!")

What about FC Virginia? They are a very strong club.

Against teams built to win now? Unlikely you would see them get results vs the win now teams. Good training environment though it sounds like.

At the upper age groups, yes. That's because those girls are the product of when the club was in Ashburn, was playing SuperY & futsal for year-round play, and had superb leadership & coaching. When Christian bought the club (pre-sale to The St. James), he just about killed the club. Best coaches & the Technical Director were let go. Club went off the cliff for the 2011 & 2012 age groups. Facility in Springfield is amazing tho. They do lure in the young ones now with that facility, a futsal league & training, and free rec soccer. 2013 & 2014 age groups seem like a mini-resurrection for the club.

Are you arguing that the coaching is better at FCV and therefore the FCV teams are better prepared to win at the older ages?

Who is arguing? That’s just my opinion.

A club based in Leesburg with a facility in Springfield? Sounds great.

DP but based on the marketing emails I’ve gotten, they seem to be expanding options near Springfield with a plan to operate in both locations.

Not sure. But they tied 2010 Bethesda in pool play and beat them in final in the Memorial Day weekend tournament I believe. Recently beat Richmond United in a friendly.
