Loudoun Struggles in ECNL

[Anonymous]

He ended it with “outsiders are always welcome” which is a recruiting plug.

The best part is he knows Loudoun is open to outsiders. He knows which of his DDs former teammates are on the Red team. They also know who he is. LOL.

^^ This ^^

FCV is never loyal to its own players. FCV dad might end up recruiting his own kid off the team.

Give it time. 1st year in ECNL. Teams are of course better than teams Loudoun played in CCL.

That is like what FCV parents are asking Loudoun parents to do. Those Superbowls were at the same club but that success was on older teams, with different players. Why would we care how the 04s and 05s are doing?

Especially when those teams were formed when ECNL and FCV were the only options for top players. Those teams will of course be strong. Different time, different situation.

Show us some quality wins against quality opponents if you want our respect.

You don't get it. They don't care about your respect. They only care about trying to recruit a few players that will help them get the results they seek. They have been doing it for years, with teams that were "inferior" to Loudoun teams. Maybe this year is the year it ends, but I wouldn't bet on it.

You don't get it either. If you think the FCV 07 team needs just a few players to help them get the results they seek, I know for a fact that you do not know that team.

Aren't they ranked No. 3 in Virginia with 80% win rate? It does not seems like the team is struggling.

They are not playing in the top brackets of tournaments. Winning against lesser teams while it gets you points doesn't mean they are not struggling.

are you joking? Quality soccer?

They beat McLean, which is ranked No. 2 in Virginia. Is McLean a lesser team?

One win does not mean you are better.

Loudoun Black also beat McLean but McLean beat Loudoun Red. Does that mean Loudoun Black is better then Loudoun Red?

Rankings are not that useful.

Loudoun 06 is ranked above FCV 06. Are they a better team? Absolutely not!

Anyone want to see some quality girls soccer FCV DA is playing Arlington DA at Evergreen this Saturday 12 (U13) and 2 (U14) and 4 (U15).

The future for Loudoun ECNL looks good. The ECNL Mid Atlantic is the toughest level of soccer you can find in this area.

In VA, yes. In MD, the NE division has better teams, at least for the two age groups that had games this Fall (e.g., PDA, FC Stars, etc.)

If Loudoun played in NE division, the future of Loudoun's ECNL program would have been even brighter since NE division has better level of competition!

Let me ask some of you, what is the end goal here? I assume most of you would love to have your daughter play at college level. If that is the case, DA or ECNL will both provide that opportunity. Anything beyond, you must really have a great player. Honestly, how many of you really believe that? I am making sure my daughter first and foremost is focused on education then soccer.

after college, 99.99% of players end up in adult leagues if they want to continue playing.

FCV is still better than Loudoun

Happy Thanksgiving!

But that's not an option, is it? In fact, didn't the BRYC boys just get moved out of the NE conference to the Mid-Atlantic one?

This was a sarcastic comment, you totally missed it.

Different poster, but i don’t get the sarcasm. Steel sharpens steel. I’d rather have a player on a lower performing team in a high performing environment vs being top team. More bang for the buck in their development.
