This is a very important point. There's a reason GDA was established and it was to more tightly control the training program, format, scouting, etc. Those who bemoan that the rest of the world is catching up in the GNT younger age groups should be all in on GDA, not advocating its demise, considering the current GNTs are predominantly the result of 10 years of ECNL grooming.

One accroynm: BDA

1. Not single person has advocated for the demise of GDA. Do you you'll read or just post crap that fits your narrative?

2. The argument is that they can coexist without the world collapsing.

It's the DA people who are pissed that the ECNL didnt die and is regaining strength. Get over it. ECNL is not going away.

I have to disagree here. It’s plainly apparent there are ECNL’ers who are outright rooting for GDA’s demise. Reference the “USSF sucks” comments and the fact there are threads (this is not the first) extolling club defections from ECNL to DA. It’s rare to see such fervor when the opposite happens. ECNL supporters spend a disproportionate amount of energy here by any objective account.

The USSF does suck. Are you saying they dont?

They dont develop our youth. The clubs do. The parents pay for it. The clubs and parents built this infrastructure. USSF profits from it and used the proceeds to boost the mens game....which has failed miserably.

Ecnl was developed to fill the gap in the womens game because USSF failed the young girls in this country. If GDA started when BDA started now of this would be a issue.

All of this is USSF failure. All of it.

Such broad statements. I love the contradiction you make here:

“Ecnl was developed to fill the gap in the womens game because USSF failed the young girls in this country. If GDA started when BDA started now of this would be a issue.”

So they couldn’t have even done “right” in your mind even if they started it back then. Mind you that the women were on top of the world back then, and still are, and there was much more need for central intervention on the men’s side. And having corrected the error a couple of years ago, you still find fault. My view is that they aren’t perfect but they are taking lots of steps to help. The fact happens to be that the reason we are behind many others in the world has to do with American culture vs anything the USSF does vs does not. Our general culture, on whole, is not where it needs to be. That’s changing, but it’s nowhere near where it needs to be yet.

Contradiction?

"Mind you that the women were on top of the world back then, and still are"

Tell me kind poster, what did the GDA have to do with that in the 1.5 years of existence?

The ECNL pooled the talent and made it 10 times easier for scouts to find talent. Again, nothing USSF did on their own.

The GDA is a decent league BUT only because they stole a part of what the ECNL had built for the past 10 years.

I didn’t claim GDA was responsible for the WNT being on top. They were on top before ECNL as well. Neither league can claim credit.

That argument should not be relevant to this discussion at all. The fact that you keep trumpeting ECNL as the reason for WNT dominance shows how out of touch you are with where we are and how we’ve gotten there.

Dear PP—it’s easy to follow along with you nitwits. There are pages and pages of this garbage in this thread. Sorry exposing you is inconvenient. ECNL isn’t the answer.

Never said it was the answer.

Again, you cognitive level is that of a 4th grader.

Last time: ECNL and DA can coexist. Neither league is the answer.

It's helpful to use proper spelling and grammar when you attempt to demean others.

So this thread titled "More defections from DA to ECNL" was created and maintained to make the case that DA and ECNL can coexist and neither league is the answer?

Interesting, if laughable, thought. It's true what you say about 4th grade mentality, in this thread and on the forum as a whole. Lots of chest thumping, insults, and misinformation thrown around here with little to no substance in almost all cases.

In reality, ECNL didn't do anything at all, because it's a league, not a club, with no real league wide standards other than just be able to compete in the league. The only thing ECNL really did was pool together the megaclubs in the country and give them showcases as a platform to concentrate those clubs together.
