Duh. If you want to talk D2 or D3 … then you are wasting time fighting over GA or ECNL altogether. There’s plenty of D2 and D3 love for all … especially RL and Aspire. |
This is actually a huge win for GA. Very solid club in OKC with a lot of potential. |
tipiest top players for sure |
the GA hats justifying a mid to bottom level RL team from Oklahoma. this cracks me up. |
Your wife told me yesterday she thinks you're too obsessed with ECNL. She ssid it's because you are "lacking in another area." And for the 1000th time, GA parents don't wear hats or visors. It's the nerdy, insecure ECNL dads who buy them. |
Bingo! Lights out for ECNL! |
I’m confused. People keep saying Aspire is stronger than RL. Why would they take an RL club straight into GA? Weren’t there any OK Aspire clubs to promote? Why didn’t they offer this club an Aspire spot instead of straight into GA? |
personal attacks are the last refuge of a scoundrel. both my daughters played GA. 1 in DA when it went bankrupt.full stop. just not a fan of GA picking up scraps to overextend so they don't go bankrupt again. but go on |
Because this club is more equivalent to GA. They couldn’t get ECNL so GA was next best. DMV needs to stop thinking our area represents the broader nation. DMV is a mess. Other areas have really strong RL teams that will go GA for a national platform if they cant get into ECNL. Aspire probably doesn’t even exist in most areas. |
Its not possible to "overextend" theres too much money in youth sports as long as you're charging parents. DA fell appart because they tried to provide free soccer to Acadamy players. At the end of the dinner someone has to pick up the check. |
Your assessment of RL teams is laughable. They do not compare to GA or ECNL. |
Kids buy the hoodies, tho. They are nice. |
When did I say they compare? I said they went GA to get onto a national platform. |
So what? Unless you can win it doesnt matter which league you play in. I have a kid thats played in both ECNL and GA. They're the same thing. Although lower level ECNL parents are more annoying because they have an odd arrogance. They dont seem to understand getting blow out every week doesnt make you better. |
you are right about the money issue but most parents are too dumb to understand their average betsy team in RL moving to GA is no better. I think the poster stating overextend used the wrong word. GA is accepting really average teams and diluting itself, quantity over quality is what they are doing and trying to grab market share. when my daughters team was not playing last Dec showcase in Norco (champions club) I walked around and watched a lot of games in their "showcase" for other clubs/teams. the quality was just not there and I never saw more than 3 college coaches at any "showcase" game (not including the champions club games) so what is the point or worth? |
