Loudoun has always been ahead of Mclean

It is nicer living out here. Lots of wineries and breweries and data centers (good revenue w/o lots of people / traffic) and the western half of the county is still relatively open and rural. But as far as soccer goes ... at least on the girls side, LSC can’t claim superiority to McLean. FCV maybe, but only at GA level. Rest of FCV sucks.

Loudoun soccer is not above anyone else. Their results are embarrassing (former ECNL mom). They like to use college placement as their scapegoat obviously but frankly with a bloated 8 million dollar revenue and hundreds on top of hundreds of players is underachieving.

A former FCV coach is now trying to develop her. Problem #1.

She was injured in the NWSL Challenge Cup, torn meniscus. I bet she gets another shot at USWNT if her surgery and recovery are on track for the Olympics.

What rest of FCV? At 08 and above they have less than one full team per age group on average in addition to GA teams.

FCV has been the strongest club in northern Virginia for some time, look at the college recruits and YNT players

No question

Except McLean has always had a better class of college recruits and had more YNT players. They have also had several pros which FCV has not had. If you throw in team success, there is no comparison between McLean and FCV.
When FCV can get into the top league, then they can compare themselves with McLean until then lets simmer down.

FCV and college recruiting - MOST go to VA Tech with no money or play time. The rest go to Julie at W&M (she used to coach at FCV and her daughter goes to W&M). They also go with little to no money either. Then we head over to the military academies - Navy, VMI, Army. Any other commit and any other school did all the work themselves and play at top notch D1 schools. FCV does NOT have a college recruitment process or a path for talented players to make the YNT. Also, since Bobby P is banned from YNT - it is going to be less and less. Attempting to ruin players via discriminatory abuse and favoritism is more the FCV thing!

What kind of discriminatory abuse?

This is just bitterness and wrong. Anyone can look at the schools these players choose.
2021: Syracuse, GW, Radford, W&M, UMBC, JMU, VCU, Richmond, VMI.
2022: South Carolina, VT, VMI, Wake Forest

Why bash on kids and the schools in which they choose. Do you even know how difficult recruiting is right now? How challenging recruiting is in a normal year?

FCV year in and year out place kids at D1 schools. You may turn up your nose as an opposing team parent, but these kids worked hard to get there and FCV training, culture and relationships helped each and every player.

GW? VMI, JMU., Radford?
VT, W&M, VMI ?

You made the same point as the poster above.
