Not only are the McLean girls going to stay at FVU… the ECNL-RL McLean squad and Pre-ECNL youngers will make a mass exodus. Likely Vienna, Arlington and BRYC will be their destinations. Those tryouts just got interesting. How much you want to bet that Vienna and BRYC will stab their current players in the throat for some McLean rejects. |
An interesting question will be what happens with the FVU coaches who came from MYS. Will they stay at FVU or go back full time to McLean to coach GA. |
Where do the current pre-ECNL 2013s go? Will they stick together? If so, at Union or MYS? Where will Clyde be coaching next season? |
You think they will leave MYS GA for other RL teams? |
You mean MYS Ass-pire? |
(GA+Aspire)>(RL+NCSL) |
GA is unequivocally better than ECNL-R and it’s not even close. Revolution is mid-table in GA and their teams are generally top 200 nationwide, while even the big club ECNL-R teams are 500-1000 and the small club ECNL-R teams are sub-1000. The gap between GA and ECNL-R is huge. I can see this move potentially complicating ECNL-GA choices for some players, but there is no way someone who can make SYC / NVA / MYS / VRSC GA should choose any ECNL-R team in the DMV. |
Really? Ass-pire was just created yesterday. What other ass-pire teams are there for MYS asspire tonplay? Is there a SYC ass-pire team? Will there a Loudoun ass-pire team? Let the ass-pire league at least get a second team before you claim it’s better. |
McLean may not be in great shape after this, but FVU IS DEAD.
ECNL did not sign off on this un-merger and killed BRAVE off itself one year ago - why would they not do it again? BRAVE is geographically challenged - it is surrounded by clubs with better fields and better access to freeways. No one from anywhere outside of Fairfax City wants to drive to Robinson or Woodson during rush hour as the fields are nowhere near I66, 395 or any other roads you can possibly travel faster than 30mph. |
Is that where FVU plays now? |
Aspire is GA2 which SYC had since last year. |
The best FVU fields are in McLean, near 66 and 495. |
Are those MYS fields? Will FVU be able to keep them next season? |
Call it what you want, but all the local GA clubs have 2nd teams, and they're on par, if not better than almost anything in NCSL. But you go ahead with your (non) witty puns. |
Those are MYS fields, off limits to FVU now. Little known fact: MYS has the best fields per capita in the DMV. |
