Lol..not an FCV dad. I'm not saying ECNL sucks. My kid played ECNL. I'm saying Loudoun has and always will continue to lose their kids..unless ECNL, nationwide, is determined to be the top league. As far as NOVA, ECNL is 2nd tier 04 and below

I don't know how you can tell where the cross over is. FCV 04GDA is probably stronger than both local ENCL clubs. Both Spirit and VDA 04's are not. I've seen them all play. In the fall, we will have to see where the 05's shake out.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

FCV 04 would destroy McLean and BRYC 04 ECNL.
VDA and Spirit would also beat both.

If you want to wait to see where the 05s shake out thats fine. But you'll be late to the table. People have told you many times where the talent is going. You just don't want to accept it.

LOL who said anything about talent moving?. The crossover point matters not, since neither claim can be backed up. I did see the FCV 05's tied McLean earlier this year in a showcase FWIW.

Ummm I don’t think McLean 05 Girls played FCV this year. I could be wrong. Maybe my kid played a game nobody saw. But the larger point is valid.

sorry 03 girls that should have been

I am not FCV. I just have a low tolerance for blasphemy. But I like your sarcastic comment. Atleast you have that going for you.

Why not the boys too? Name another national platform on the boys side? There is not one. There you go.

Oh right! Because every PR statement is always 100% truthful. Said no one ever.

National platform outside of the DA = Boys ECNL. Year one, and they are all across the nation.

PR? You must not be following this story. There was an interview by SoccerAmerica with the FC Stars Director on why his club is leaving DA for ECNL.

Of course FCV parents are upset today. It’s raining which means soccer practice is cancelled at Bles. No development when it rains gets them all worked up. Other clubs will be on the turf fields. Oh except FCV DA, they maybe can fight for time for little turf spots at Evergreen. The rest of the club gets squat.

Exactly. That is the PR release they have come up with as to why they are leaving. No new information there.

LMAO - are you serious? So Mike Woitalla the Executove Editor for Soccer America put his publication on the line to publish PR as a fake interview? Ok we are done. You have lost touch with reality.

Of course not. Sometimes I wonder how people can twist posts like you just did. My comment was crystal clear. Mike Woitalla reported what the clubs told him. Those clubs are the ones doing the PR. They have to explain the decision in a way that frames the conversation in the right way. I have clearly stated that the clubs are the ones making the release. Soccer America speaks neither for nor against. They are reporting what they are being told.

Ok gotcha. You just do not know how PR vs Journalism is done. A journalist like Mike would never publish an article with his name at the top like that unless it’s news. Unless he did the interview. Because that shows it is news and the public would constantly be confused. Another way you know is that if it’s PR other news outlets will pick it up. But this is an exclusive. Google “FC Stars leaving DA” and you will see what I mean. Now the 3 clubs did release a PR statement that got picked up everywhere but trust me this article is not PR.

I did not say that they don’t have an agenda =) They are stating the reasons why to be clear. If there was some ultimatum or other arm twisting that is big news and USSF could sink ECNL. But not the case. Those are just rumors.

But either way it is news. Those 3 clubs are really leaving DA. From what I hear there is more to follow. Soon. Cherry Kool Aid was always my fav.

Occam’s Razor. Are these publications and DA clubs to be believed as to why they are leaving DA for ECNL or some fools spreading rumors on a DCUM board? Sorry guys.

[Anonymous]

so in the Boehm article in Potomac Soccerwire, he claims that Loudoun turned down a GDA offer to join ECNL. If you're Loudoun and you're already in boys DA, are concerned about girls retention, and your next door neighbor FCV is panting at your door, why do you turn down GDA?

The 3 clubs leaving HAVE to try and explain the decision to control the conversation to their advantage. They would be stupid not to.

I don’t agree with the premise of your question. I do not think Loudoun is that concerned about retention. FCV is not breathing down their door. I know FCV parents get worked up over Loudoun. I get it. But Loudoun parents do not seem to care that much. At the younger ages Loudoun dominates FCV. Loudoun parents are more concerned about team from OH, TX and PA. They don’t play FCV often anyway.

Loudoun wants to keep developmental control of their players. They have always wanted a national platform but were turned down each year until this year. ECNL give them more control ad flexibility than DA. They are think long term. Over decades. This board is worried about this year or next.
