Bethesda couldn't beat the #1 team in the MA (CSA). Union went on to beat CSA easily. It's weird that Bethesda would currently be considered better than Union.
VDA played Brave, BSC, and Ukrainian Nationals in WAGs. Given 2 of the 3 are being discussed here, it seems like a fair comparison. You can say it was a long time ago, but it’s a head to head result from this season. You have to draw the line somewhere, and ECNL keeps season standings for a reason.
Other head to head results from this season
- Losses to CSA by a combined 5 goals across 2 games.
- 4-0 loss to Brave in the first game. Tie in the second.
- A tie against Arlington and a 1 goal win over Union.
Didn’t VDA also lose badly to FCV in the fall? I have nothing against them, but this feels like recency bias based on a single 1 goal victory, and ignoring September through March.
