Nah, your "clever" post just fell flat. Try harder next time. |

It was not my post.
So in addition to being unable to detect sarcasm, you also are unable to detect the identity of posters. |

No one can. Anyone who posts the whole "I know who you are" crap on this forum is a moron. |

That’s the best you’ve got? Pretty weak. |

I’m quite sure the admin and his associates have a pretty good idea of the numbers of posters and their relative locations. |

Sure, and they also don't post anonymously on this forum or do the whole "I know who you are" thing either. That's just arrogant soccer parents who think they have the next star. |

While clearly this is sarcasm, there are points to address to the ECNL supporters. The structure of the DA is far superior to that of the ECNL in terms of game loading, season loading and training periodization, etc... Unless HS soccer does a complete about-face and become something that has any soccer value more than zero, the DA structure will remain far superior. This isn't about teams or clubs. It is about structure. 10 months of evenly spaced out training and games cannot be compared to over-loaded seasons of ECNL followed by over-loaded HS season. And in this area there is even the additional issue of different HS seasons between private and public high school and DC, MD and VA. |

Assumes the following: 1) DA coaches and players are universally better than and have greater potential ECNL coaches and players. I don't believe this to be true. 2) Girls who play HS soccer are only concerned about maximizing their potential. Some girls find the experience of playing with their friends for their school priceless; thus the value far exceeds ECNL or DA. |

Yes you can be tracked down - ask Mr Misery about that |

Are you sure? Or are you the same “moron” who knows who’s posting what? 
People on this forum crack me up! |

By any of the losers posting here? No, no one has any idea who is who. By the admins? Sure, but you're not an administrator, so quit faking. |

And yet they continually change it because people and clubs are unhappy with it. Now, they are adding more games with more travel that cost more money for a make believe "cup" in the Spring season. The DA's one extra day of practice isnt even practice. Its recovery for the most part. It's not giving the DA kids an advantage to the ECNL kids practicing three days a week. The DA says their players play 10 months out of the year...So do the ECNL players. Fall season ECNL plays more games than DA (almost x2) Winter season DA and ECNL players do futsal and other sports Spring season DA plays a spring season and catches up to the amount of games the ECNL kids have played. However, the ECNL kids are also playing HS ball. So in fact, ECNL kids play more soccer than the DA kids. On top of that, ECNL still showcases in the Spring and the kids attend summer nationals if they qualified. Oh...and how silly do you have to be to write in your press release "to make showcases more meaningful". The purpose of a showcase it to showcase. Its not supposed to be a game with consequences. That is what league games are for. Stick with DA. You seem to like it. That's fine. However, dont feel superior because of your choice. Both our kids will end up playing in college I'm sure. You will just have given more to get there. |

 No! I wholeheartedly admit I have no clue who anyone is here. Are there really hundreds of posters? Or could you fit us all in a phone booth? For those of us who still remember what that is!

You just made my point and didn't even realize it. I clearly stated that the ECNL/HS combo is overloading the players. There is no arguing that and you even argued the same without being bright enough to recognize you were doing so. And if you think playing more games is utopia, then have at it. That thinking is endemic in youth soccer in this country and why we are aren't developing more than a once-in-a-while world class player unless they leave this country to play like Pulisic. |

So your point is this....DA is better because the games in the fall are more spread out and there is no HS in the Spring. That's going to separate your player from mine, right? That's going to create world class players, right? Also, you should contact US Soccer about the new champions league cup because it's an overload. I assume you agree on my other points since they weren't contested, no? |
