DMV Preseason Rankings

I think SoCal is strong in general so I think you are right to compare the NE to SoCal but let's be fair that no other region of the country competes with SoCal. The weather, population and proximity (even when considering traffic), can't be beat.

To say that the DA is better than ECNL, today, just seems silly.

And the Mid Atlantic Conference doesn’t compete with the North East either.

DA Mid-Atlantic is not hitting on much either. MA ECNL had 2 national finalists and several quarter finalists. How about Mid atlantic DA?

The entirety of the Mid Atlantic, DA or ECNL is weak. Trying to prop up your situation based on the allegiance of mega clubs a continent or a conference away doesn’t make your club situation better.

2006

1. VDA
2. Bethesda/Maryland Rush
3. FCV
4. Arlington
5. BRYC

You make a good point. ECNL is weaker than DA. Easier to make it to finals.

It is also “easier” to make Nationals when there are more Nationals to be able to qualify for. The DA only has two U13 Pilot age groups and “Nationals” for DA starts at U15 compared to ECNL who start Nationals at U13.

OMG, today conversation started because Mr. DA propaganda machine keeps selling snake oil. Just because we offer a legit counterpoint backed by facts doesnt mean we are propping up one over the other. Its merely pointing out the hypocrisy.

But yes, the strength of a league in your overall geographical region is important because of crossover games and regional showcases (Like ECNL NJ /PDA showcase)

The only good team in NY (yes, Atlantic DA divsion play 3 -4 NY teams) was NYC FC which is now World Class ECNL. FCV has to drive to Atlanta just to get meaningful competition. It's also a way for USSF to save face and offer Tophat a bone because they hate DA.

So again, stop with the BS

And to the guy who keeps calling our region weak. When will you realize that by your standards, every region in America is weak except Socal. Go take a hike with that BS as well.

By all means post some Mid Atlantic team scores against PDA.

I’ll start. 06 VDA 0:5 PDA 06.

That’s it. You actually have to be a good team to play good teams in other conferences.

Let's put it this way. You put the East Coast GDA with the East Coast ECNL in the same division and they all play each other, the GDA will make up the lion's share of the top teams. Even MU at 04 and 05 would finish top half of the MA ECNL. Arlington would be competing to win the MA ECNL in likely every age group. And FCV would absolutely dominate every age group in the MA ECNL (McLean U18/19 only real competition). Repeat this scenario in every region in the country and then you will see why the GDA is much stronger than the ECNL overall. It is closer at the older ages.

Let's see how many of these NYCFC girls stay with World Class. My bet is less than half.

No you dont dbag.

FCV drove to Atlanta and got smacked down. So no, you dont actually have to be good to play other teams in your conference. Just need to show up.

How many national titles does FCV have?

Beating down Spirit, Arlington, PA Classics, LISC doesnt make you good.

Go sit down. MU would be a doormat in EDP.
