I dont see Valor going GA2. They would stay RL. Only strengthens if no direct line to GA. RL competition is better than GA2, for now. |
So where does that ECNL badge go to??? |
|
You sure about that who are the notable RL clubs left?
No McLean, No Loudoun, ASA will switch to Aspire too |
Arlington to Aspire? |
I think they meant Alexandria, not Arlington.... seeing how Alexandria already has MLSNEXT |
No where in VA, they are set at 3 ECNL and 3 GA (excluding TSJ for obvious reasons they will be Aspiring about FCV in the second tier) This aligns with our neighbors in MD so makes sense to me. They also have 3 ECNL and 3 GA....but the birdies are singing a tune for that badge to go to MD for another ECNL team in MoCo. This club would be in Potomac and would poach from McLean, GFR, and BSC's lefotvers in MoCo. |
Correct, thank you. |
|
ECNL will drop a small announcement with a big boom. Similar to last year.
Last year, GA made over 20 moves..non of which matched ECNL taking their top clubs |
| Adding a new team from a number of small clubs in MoCo/DC/GFR does not make for news, especailly since they will be in tier 2 |
US Club Soccer = Essentially ECNL, USCS funnels at least 1/3 (average of $5 million) of its revenue yearly for 'marketing' to an independent contractor that was at one point tied to a founder at ECNL. Maybe its shady, maybe its not. |
|
Predictions:
ASA to GA Aspire NVA to GA I Valor/Loudon GA II - separate |
They will not put another ECNL club in MoCo. |
But it won't be 3 and 3....it'll be 8 (or 9) total: 1. Arlington (ECNL) 2. VDA (ECNL) 3. Union (ECNL) 4. TSJ (GA) 5. Revolution (GA) 6. McLean (GA) 7. SYC (GA) 8. Loudoun GA (or NVA ECNL and Loudoun GA) |
They will need to when BSC annouces GA, also choosing boys over the girls

Shhhhhhh 🙃 |
