And Bethesda beat Loudoun twice, so? These are just people's opinions for next year. I wouldn't read into it too much. If one parent thinks Metro, McLean, Bethesda, or even VDA is not going to perform, it is just that persons opinion. My opinion is that most GA/ECNL clubs will have attracted more players for next season. We know that SYC/McLean merger will help them get better. Other clubs will also have new players. Some will have new coaches. IMO: 1. VDA ECNL 2. FC Virginia GA 3. Pipeline ECNL 4. MD United ECNL 5. Arlington ECNL 6. Virginia Union ECNL 7. Bethesda ECNL 8. Loudoun ECNL 9. Metro United GA 10.

MD United beat FCV 4-0. No way FCV is above MD United. Pipeline is also #1 in MD and FCV would stand no chance beating them either. FCV should be no higher than 4th in the DMV. Bethesda is still way to optimistically ranked. 1. VDA ECNL 2. Pipeline ECNL 3. MD United ECNL 4. FC Virginia GA 5. Arlington ECNL 6. Virginia Union ECNL 7. Loudoun ECNL 8. Metro United GA 9.

There has been alot of movement with some of these 08 teams from impact players to new coaches. I agree with one of the PPs 1. VDA ECNL 2. Pipeline ECNL 3. MD United ECNL 4. Loudoun ECNL 5. Virginia Union ECNL 6. Arlington ECNL 7. VYS RL 8. FCV GA 9. Bethesda ECNL 10. Metro United GA |

Look the posters thinks their kid is fast and the 08’s DMV ECNL/GA teams are “elite”. I use to think that way with my older kid. She was pretty fast for the DMV. When she went to a camp with “elite” speed it was eye opening. |

I can agree with this list except for Metro. They have not beaten any team of note. Probably put FC Frederick in its place. Bethesda and Loudoun are a toss up. Even though Bethesda won over Loudoun 2x, they have some bad losses. |

I think metro should be higher based on their improvements over the season but I also think there is not much difference between the 3-10. It will depend how they matchup and coaching. If teams 3-10 get one or two good players in a position of need they will get better. Bottom line there is a large gap between 1-2 and 3-10 but not a big difference between 3-10. |

Metro was a new from scratch team last year with no game history to qualify for higher brackets at tournaments like Jeff Cup. They improved in the spring beating teams they lost to and significantly bringing the score down against teams above them in their Division. In a Covid year they had no opportunity to play any "teams of note" but they did appear to do their job in the spring. Basically, they can only play who is on the schedule. They could be at 7th but are properly placed at 8th. If Metro's league performance means they played no "teams of note" that should affect both FCV and Arlington's ranking because the logic would imply that GA teams are not "teams of note." But the ranking actually adjusts for notch down of GA with all three GA teams on the list, of which Armor and Celtic Union are properly off this list. Bethesda won one league game. Being in ECNL those are certainly "teams of note" and they failed to win. Putting them on this list is simply a gift due to being in ECNL and not much more. |

This is true. Teams 4-10 are much closer in competition than they are with teams 1-3. |

This is why this subject cracks me up!!! Parents are not realistic and are biased. Metro lost 2 games each to FCV and Arlington. The have not beat anyone of note. They also lost to South Carolina Surf at Jeff Cup. Everyone seems to talk about Bethesda’s performance in its league but look at Mclean/VU. One win against BRYC in league play. They actually tied them in the 2nd time they played. Not a good look. Lost to Loudoun 2x and tied them once. Not one quality win but people think they are going to be so good next year. Please correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the SYC star midfielder going to VDA? Again, these are the results. In contrast, Bethesda had only one win as well in league play over FC Bucks (interesting note, Loudoun lost 2-0 to Bucks recently) Huge contrast between FC Bucks and BRYC. Like, ginormous. Bethesda beat Loudoun 2x but for some reason everyone ignores that. They also beat Beach FC badly at Jeff Cup. Beach was undefeated in CCL league. Bethesda will also have a new coach next year who will be better than last years coach. Now let’s look at Loudoun. Tie against VDA 2x, great! 2 wins and a tie against Mclean. 2 losses to Bethesda. Loss to Coppermine. Tie to Beach FC. Recent loss to FC Bucks who Bethesda beat. Recent loss to FC Delco who Bethesda tied. Now, using these facts, who has the best resume of the bottom of this list? Your bias is showing! |

| Who gives a rats ass about this 1 through 10 ranking. All these teams will end up beating one another OR tie with one another at some point. |

It’s the top two teams and the rest of the pack. To move out of the pack you have to beat everyone in the pack and one of the top two consistently. BSC is a mid to low table team in the DMV(of the teams in the ranking)and the DMV is nothing special. |

So you point to Metro's 3 losses and Bethesda's two wins against another losing ECNL team and a win against a CCL team as Bethesda's "teams of note"? Ummmm, ok LOL Bias is showing in glossing over all the league losses believing it somehow makes the team better. Bethesda's only wins come when it is punching down in tournaments and still manages two losses to Frederick. Your non-league record is 17 wins and 7 losses. BRYC's non league record is 9-2-1. Bethesda failed to win State Cup and lost to SYC and Frederick. Your non-league win percentage is worse than BRYC's. Bethesda is not Elite, just merely better than average and the doormat of their division. You shouldn't be on the list and you shouldn't be looking down at any club including Metro. |

Quan has many people fooled no SC or NC games yet they are the best team in the area. Why? Because they beat Mclean and BRYC? Have they played FCV? |
