They had a lackluster fall. Probably lost some key players over the summer. |
Agree that 6-2 should secure a playoff spot. One of the NGLL top 5 teams could be left out of the playoffs with 3 losses. |
The A division is way too large. Four games this weekend were over 10 goal differential. |
NGLL is at a point where they need an A, B, and C level for some grad years. |
2 of those blowouts were against A teams from last year. 1 blowout was on the #21 team in the country. if a team gets blown out by a B team, it's safe to say they should not be in the A division. |
Does seem like they need a middle division. |
Absolutely need A B C divisions |
There is enough in the bottom that could move up and be competitive with a group from the top. But my experience is they get paired up against the top teams and just get creamed. So there is no learning. But it goes the other way, in that they are creaming some of the bottom teams and also not really learning. |
The real problem is that you should always have to earn your way into the top division and earn the right to stay, just like in many other sports. Just adding 4+ teams because they feel like they can compete but haven’t proven it doesn’t make sense for anybody. |
Agree with what you are saying. But what would be the criteria to get into the top division? Rankings, record? Look at what happened to the #21 ranked team. |
Interesting mix of clubs for AS. Rosters were posted. |
rosters posted where? |
What is the #21 team you all are talking about? https://www.usclublax.com/rank?v=2030&alpha=N&y=2023 |
Think it's in reference to this years rankings. |
