MLS is doing the best it can with a s*it burger.

Academy is so kids CAN play HS. That's the point of that level. Seems like ECNL just doesn't want the competition at the SY level.

MLS Academy is not the same as MLS AD or Academy Division.

Why switch 1, tho, when HS is NOT an option, anyway? Nothing is changing for those teams or players. How is that having the rug pulled out?

Most MLS p2p have both mls 1 and 2. They will now have two different age cutoffs for the same age groups. That means two sets of tryouts, no floating kids back and forth between teams, and no upward mobility.

The club feeder system will also be SY which means all Aug-dec birthdays will have to skip u12 to transition to a BY team.

It will create never ending age related issues for club admin. They will be dealing with this until they either switch to a different platform or MLSN aligns HG and AD.

You are so whiny.

Its not that difficult and most HG players will be recruited therefore tryouts don't matter.

Why couldn't they go back and forth? Younger players can always play up and it seems like bio-banding in MLSN has become quite popular, so how does this end upward mobility or floating kids back and forth?

You might be right. But you might be trying to craft a narrative that tries to spin this as benefitting ECNL (so much of that here, BTW). MLSN is betting on its exclusivity. I guess if they end up going SY, because a bunch of their clubs decide ENCL is better, we'll know they were wrong. But if ECNL ends up creating a BY elite league a few years from now to compete with them ... I'm sure the spin will make it a win!

What is the purpose or interest of a league stuck in a pothole, with no pro pathway and no connection with college recruiting?

For professional pathway there is MLSN1, for college the best is ECNL.

There is no point in paying/traveling at a league that offers nothing.

Winner is ECNL, clearly.

Seems like MLSN want both the pro and college pathway. What's to stop them now that they'll have strong teams with both BY and SY configurations?

MLSN doesn’t want anything other than their academies. This decision makes that very clear. They don’t give a sh** about their p2p clubs.

Yeah, bad day today p2p clubs, either at MLSN1 or MLSN2.

MLS2 Only club is a loser. No longer can sell the "pathway" without a blinking eye. The MLS2 team in the MLS1 club is also a loser to a lesser extent. Top MLS2 players will tryout for ECNL.

And this is why mlsn2 and ECNL will not be competitive. I knew if I waited long enough someone else would type it out for me.

Our ECNL team played up a year, and tied the MLSN team last weekend, which qualifies for the Flex. I do not think your son's team can even qualify for that.

I meant to imply that ecnl will be much better than mls2.

You are all idiots. Let your kids decide it on the field. Shut up and let them do their things
. You are the worst of the patents, and you will look back in a few years and realize it. Until then, those of us patents with older kids are mocking you, you are just not smart enough to realize it. Your call, let’s see if you can realize the truth or keep at it like petulant children. My guess is you choose petulant because that is your default. Let’s watch!

Non MLS Academy MLSN is very poor. This will only make them worse.

Take a look at the Copa Rayados Internacional tournament last weekend in Houston. MLSN teams losing to ECNL RL teams left and right.

Opps sorry was tying too quickly.

I meant ECNL not ECRL

If ECNL thins out their weaker teams and tries to send them to ECRL those clubs could definitely look at MLSN2/GA.

Whatever, but I meant ECNL not ECRL.

Are you crazy? Any club with their top team in mlsn2 is running to ecnl right now. Mlsn2 now firmly a second team league. Always was, but at least there was the illusion of a pathway. That’s gone.

Agree. Not only clubs, also players.

bad marketing. Now MLS2 is an obvious shill to everybody. It will hurt MLS2 only clubs.

Even to MLS1 club with MLS2 team, the pathway to scam potential players to join MLS2 team will become much harder.

Yes suddenly NAL may be a landing spot MLsn2 players that don’t want to do crazy travel knowing it is a total scam. I think NAL and ECNL talent pools will increase as a result. MLSN2 takes a big hit for sure.

Prior to this, players can be deceived into joining MLS2, hoping to be promoted to the MLS1 team. After this change, the player will prefer ECNL over MLS2. And ECNL will be a better fit as most elite players will go to college, plus the younger feeder teams are all SY. MLS is too arrogant to make this stupid market move. ECNL is laughing to the bank.

MLSN is holding all the cards.

ECNL parents are bluffing while holding a frying pan.

MLSN folded it's hand.

My guess is many MLNS1 clubs are right now calling ECNL phones, asking about chances of joining it.

And players, also looking for ECNL clubs in near locations.

Why? From what I understand this is what they all wanted. MLSN2 wanted to stay aligned with youth system by switching to SY. MLSN1 wanted to stay BY. Seems like best of both worlds, unless a player wants to be the oldest on a SY team in ECNL. But how would that help if their goal is MLS academy?

You are thinking that most players want MLS academy and that is not the case. Most players do not want to try and play pro. They want to be on a top team with better coaching. You won’t find that at mlsn2

If MLSN2 players could make ECNL they would already be there. ECNL should promote a bunch of ECRL teams to ECNL to absorb the new free agents.
