7 tie: BRYC ECNL, MU DA

Your #2 lost 4-1 Saturday to another team on the list in a scrimmage. By spirit standards, that’s a World Cup finals win.

Who?

Poster said #4 whooped #2 on your list so your list may be flawed

#5 beat #2. Friendly though. This is probably better for a different thread.

This is good discussion for the local teams. Get the competitive spirit going.

Why can't this be civil?

I don't care if it is this thread or another.

I would rank them as follows:
1 FCV DA, #2 isn't close
2 Arlington DA
3 VDA ECNL
4 MU DA (even with the win over VDA)
5 Bethesda ECNL
6 McLean ECNL
6 BRYC (this team will be better next season)
7 Loudoun ECNL (lower level additions for next year won't help much especially with the loss of players. They just won't be competitive)

Not a parent with kids on any of the mentioned teams but am so sad at all the parents saying terrible things. I find myself checking this thread but hate myself for checking this thread. Can anyone just agree that kids playing ecnl/DA clearly have some skill and must love soccer.

my list would look very similar to this

No, its win or die trying!

Fact is there are good and not so good teams, players, coaches, etc. While I get 'some' loyalty to a club, I don't get the blind loyalty.

Coaches at ANY club will cut a player for a better player. It is their job.

MU will be fine. Hopefully the folks that stuck around with turn it around and produce some better results.

This list shows the dominance of DA over ECNL.

The list is also simply an opinion from watching the teams play. I don't believe anyone on here is an expert.

It is also hard to consistently match up teams at this age and lower. Inconsistency is the only constant. Each team is like a box of chocolates.

Meh. If you say it enough, maybe it will come true.
