After a few weeks of games a few things are apparent:

1) why is TSJ even in this league? Most RL and Aspire teams could beat them

2) who had the blackmail photos that convinced someone to give NVA/Loudon two GA teams? The Loudon teams are low table across almost every age group.

3) Charlotte Independence (who played ECNL last year) is strongest of the NC teams and will compete for top in some age groups

NVA and Loudoun each getting a GA team was part of the negotiations to get them to join MLSN/GA. Time will tell if they do well enough to keep 2 teams.

I can't see TSJ lasting too many more years at they rate they are going. However, I don't know who would take their place.

NVA is essentially Loudoun since it's no longer a partnership with other clubs. Loudoun being part of GA is probably not needed and the current Loudoun team should probably be Aspire. Wouldn't be surprised that if adjustments aren't made for next year once Arlignton and another club join GA to replace TSJ and Loudoun.

Why, in the case of the 2011 team, they just beat NVA 2-0 and in the case of some of the other age teams, same result.

Go to the 2011 thread. PitchProphecy2011 does a great job answering this question.

Sad but true. I think this year is going to be especially bad both in GA and ECNL.

Plenty of good soccer being played outside of a national championship. Perspective please.

Really? ECNL rosters basically stayed the same didn’t they? There a few new pick ups here and there.

GA added a few teams but the returning clubs kept their rosters intact?

Arl and VDA will qualify in most age groups. No idea on the GA side but SYC is very strong and VRSC will be a contender. All is not lost - have faith NOVA brethren.

Didn’t NOVA have multiple teams in the round of 16 and 8 and a team in the final 4 last year for ECNL?

Sorry meant teams.

Even if any teams DO perform well nationally, they'll just be picked apart and criticized on this board, so there's really no point engaging with that. The goalposts will just keep moving lol
