If you flew to Seattle for anything but the Champions bracket, congratulations. You're a loser and a fool.

North American Cup and Showcase Cup still have tons of scouts. Stay mad though.

Scouts love walking past all the best teams so they can watch teams that didn't win their league.

Yeah they love to catch the Showcase Z games - they can pinpoint all the suckers.

$20 to watch and the quality is piss poor. So imagine having to pay and the quality is bad.

quit counting other people's money...why do you care so much what someone else does with their time and money? so much salt on the boards today from people that aren't even in Seattle

It's not that, it's all the parents that say ECNL, ECNL, ECNL + dump on anything else.

Watching teams get their asses handed to them just like everyone knew would happen is schadenfreude.

It’s all about money in travel soccer isn’t it? A system built not to identify the best players, but the best players whose families can pay the most.

This must be the EDP parent who thinks EDP can run circles around ECNL teams....RME. Do you understand money is not part of colleges recruiting the players? The players that go to D1 schools who are not skilled enough get ZERO scholarship and won't see playing time until they are Juniors or Seniors. College coaches who have been watching players in many cases for long before your DD was even born, know exactly what they are looking at and what they are looking for. ECNL has over 70% of these D1 scholarship and players. It's not because Daddy and Mommy are wealthy.

ECNL has the best players on the girls side and by a LARGE margin especially by the U15 year. This isn't anything new and is 100% fact based by the number of college scholarships. Also has nothing to do with money. If you want to complain about money, point the finger at yourself as well. Inner city families cannot afford any type of Club soccer.

Girls Academy cost is almost identical cost but a lower skill level except a handful of teams Nationwide which is now shrinking even more due to the recent additions of GA powerhouses.

Oh,speaking of, the reason why EDP players are not recruited is because of the level of competion. If you are trying to save money and stay USYS AND want your child to somehow pull D1 interest, then you are just going pay anyway just like the ECNL players! This through USYS tournaments and showcases (if your USYS team isn't making it to regionals, good luck to you) and/or ODP events and showcases (your child better at least make the ODP Regional team).

Whether you like it or not, these are the facts. Sucks that it has to be this way, I agree. Girls soccer is rich suburb sport no matter the league.

Which GA "Powerhouses" going to ECNL are you referring to.

South Shore Select g2010 didn't make it out of group
Lonestar G2010 didn't even make it to
group
Ukies g2010 didn't make it out of group
Nationals did make it out of group and are going to Finals in Virginia.

Of course this discussion devolves into ECNL vs GA vs EDP…this all most of you all want to talk about, meanwhile, our kids barely know how to kick a ball, as evidenced by the local “best” getting their clocks cleaned by teams from, oh, just about ANYWHERE in America.
