| SC Surf parents think they will get ECNL right away. LOL |
If they don't they'll just swith back to GA and try to leverage into MLSN. Competition is good now that GA+MLSN are working as s bundle the way ECNL was with both boys and girls being manditory for clubs to play in ECNL girls. |
Listen to me when I say ECRL sucks. Your ECNL bias is so strong that you're defending 2nd tier leagues? Come back to reality. |
| Kernow Storm FC to ECRL boys |
| CITY SC Utah to ECRL GIRLS |
| California Odyssey Girls promoted to ECNL |
| Westmont United girls to ECRL |
Why is competition all of a sudden good in GA because of a partnership with MLSNext? What club have they added that's a real game changer? Is a McLean or Loudoun (team below NVA) stand alone GA team any better than the SC Surf teams? |
Uhh yeah..NVA alone is a very solid pick up. And so is Charlotte independence. ECNL does not equal good. There are many many abysmal ECNL clubs. |
Even with the mass exodus from the NVA girls teams? |
Because MLSN+GA are now considered a package deal if clubs want MLSN they'll need to play their girls in GA. This is exactly the opposite of what ECNL used to do. If clubs wanted girls ECNL they'd need to play their boys in ECNL. Lather rinse repeat and you can see where this is going. Most clubs favor boys teams which means they'll want into MLSN. |
There are so many open spots in ECNL bud. |

The needle of team/club LEVEL on a league basis has not shifted much at all.
In relation to girls only.. GA top end is no better GA middle is deeper than last year (Midwest, NVA, Charlotte) GA bottom end is getting worse with the new club adds (the clubs ranked 400-1200) ECNL top end is no better ECNL middle is slightly worse (loss of Midwest, NVA, Charlotte) ECNL bottom end is no better ECNL-RL top end has gotten better ECNL-RL middle is the same ECNL-RL bottom end has got more depth now |
| The good part about GA and ECNL partnering and competing for clubs is that it pressures leagues to let in the top performers from lower leagues. If they don't do this the other leagues will let them in. |
I noticed NVA teams losing games in the MA standings recently. Did the girls already leave NVA? |
