Why would you make such an assumption? Nothing I said would suggest that. The argument was that FCV and Arlington have to drive to Richmond to get meaningful competetion. My argument was that it wasn't true. I always find it weak when people get defensive when you challenge their propaganda. |
MD United does not play in the Mid Atlantic Division. Bethesda does not play in the Mid Atlantic Division. Pipeline does not play in the Mid Atlantic Division. |
Neither do FCV or Arlington. Now schedule your scrimmage in the area next time you pampas goof. |
You can be certain the Bethesda scrimmages meant plenty to FCV. Must show well against ECNL clubs in scrimmages now because it’s a long time until the one tough GAL match against Arlington in March |
Why are you obsessed with scrimmages? |
Why are so obsessed with moving the neddle everything you get disproven? |
Nobody knows what your point even is. So again, why are you so obsessed with scrimmages? Should FCV should just play local scrimmages? You seem to think GA is just so weak compared to ECNL and the point was made and proven that the local NOVA based ECNL clubs are not very good. You then drag MD clubs into this and move the needle when the facts prove that NOVA ECNL clubs are overall pretty bad. IF FCV was in ECNL they would be in the Mid Atlantic and likely just as unchallenged as they are in GA and they would still have to drive to Richmond and NC for a game. And since they are in the Mid Atlantic Division they would not play any MD teams regularly in a non-Covid world. And then on top of it, they have in fact scrimmaged Bethesda for a quality game and the only NOVA club they scrimmaged was Arlington. Odd they did not scrimmage a NOVA ECNL club. |
If local ECNL clubs really wanted to prove their meddle against FCV then why did they not vote to approve FCV's admission into ECNL? Who is really ducking who? |
Let's try this again. The poster wrote that FCV and Arlington had to travel to Richmond to get good competition. I countered that argument with actually results that disprove the poster. Do you follow? |
This statement shows your lack of knowledge. |
That is based on actual ECNL Division structure, NOT scrimmages. Do you follow scrimmage man? |
What is it with these crazy ECNL parents. It’s like somebody buying an Aston Martin and all of the sudden they think they are James Bond. The league doesn’t make you good. The league should be a platform for testing the Club’s development of players. We all know ECNL is watered down in the region, letting everyone in is the league’s strategy. The question remains at what point will they start relegating teams to regional league status? Richmond United is probably sick of driving up 95 to beat up on all the local clubs. At some point they’ll want a more competitive league, or at least a change to the league rules where they can run mini tournaments with FCV and Arlington in order to get some meaningful competition. Richmond isn’t being challenged in its league play. GAL isn’t much better, but at least each team will find two or three competitive clubs in their division. Over time, GAL will probably start consolidating the top teams unless ECNL sets up a pro/rel system. |
FCV 04, #1 in their DA Divsion and coming off a year long season couldn't beat Maryland United coming off their HS season. |
Yeah, man. I follow scrimmages, man. Do you follow conversations, man. |
And yet they would not be in the same division if FCV was in ECNL. What is it about that fact are you having a hard time understanding? |
