Nobody is mentioning names and there's zero negativity in this opinion.

Genuinely curious on what people's opinions are on this, especially about publicly known athletes and coaches. Maybe there are some house rules around here but just generally speaking.

For me, its totally strange when people come on here and call out these players that are as young as U10/11/12/13 etc. Its crazy. But with how things are changing now, when does it change? What about the kid who is the same age as this local USYNT player and played with her who signed a professional contract to play for Angel City? Should her name be kept out of everybody's mouth even if its not negative?

I don't agree with calling out kids names. Kids on the NT are marginal public figures by now.

Not rejection, but it might be on the tail end of the roster. Top 16-18 are set and if you are on the bubble, plan on fighting to get on game day roster.

Great, you keep thinking that.

By your logic so are CW, NM, BL, ML, MV, LO, etc. We don't use their names, but we know who they are. Have some sense of decency when it comes to a kid. And yes, said player is still a kid. Just happens to be pretty good at soccer.

Offers went out to some pretty huge trouble makers/families. Not sure I'd want to be part of that mess.

Guess announcers shouldn't say their names when announcing games, even the NWSL ones when calling games for Angel City. They should just call her number?

Nobody has good fields if they're not grass too, so chill with the Hayfield sarcasm Brave dad with no FVU offer, and is idiotic enough to believe that RL is better than GA.

No - you took care of the idiocy with: “Nobody knows if FVU ECNL girls will better than SYC GA girls, that story is to be written. Nervous about who will be with FVU come August maybe?“

+1 it's laughable that anyone would be nervous about facing SYC.

Just a tad different in this context don't you think?

Probably. But this whole name thing is just an adjustment to the modern internet. Whether we like it or not, our kids information, names etc are all over the internet if they're playing club ball, so if you're not okay with it, should people not write articles on these players?

Clubs splash these kid’s pictures and names all over their social media on a near weekly basis and some have NIL deals. That said, I do think it is poor form and out of bounds to critique them and their play, since I don’t think we should be anything but supportive to kids from our local community. I don’t see why there might be an issue with innocuous references to their existence…but maybe that’s just me.

Question, how many times per week do most ECNL (National) teams practice?
I heard 4 from some and 3 from others.

Right. Outside the top 18 you have a good chance of getting the dual roster deal
