Maybe being at the top matters more than the patch.

I agree with this for next year but that will only be the case for like one year.

Prior to DA when it was only ECNL, college coaches from the top programs would tell players to go to an ECNL team because they will want to see them play against the best teams. That will be the case again soon.

Yep, they can’t assess talent if the team they are playing is just not that good. They need to see players play at speed and with high competition.

Even if the scouts come to the games, if you are a top player, how are you going to be prepared to play power 5 college teams if you play games against the weak competition in GAL.

This forum always talks about how good teams are based on records but competition and coaching are the most important things.

A great example is Christian Lavers’ club, FC Wisconsin, which rarely has teams that have winning records but the core of those teams have done very well in college with players receiving many awards at great schools.

In the local regions, the competition is comparable. If you live in CA there is a difference.

Here there isn’t. Local ECNL is just as “weak” as GA. Sorry!

That is just not the truth! Please tell me one club that FCV plays in this GAL conference that is better then the ECNL clubs. Show me results or even better national level results, college commitments, USYNT placements, etc...

And also answer the question of why was FCV so mediocre when they were in the ECNL?

True for Tophat not true for FCV, top girls need to leave.

Can someone tell me the infatuation with Tophat?

Have they ever won a USYS, ECNL or DA National Championship?

Is it because of those stupid Soccerwire rankings? The ECNL has the stats when Tophat, FCV, Sporting Blue Valley, and all the other DA clubs that used to be in ECNL. I’m sure that was weighted a lot more then how they are doing in the DA. I mean that is probably why they didn’t get in because they weren’t that great when ECNL was the only show in town. That probably explains why Penn Fusion got in over FCV even though it looks like FCV had better records. Penn Fusion was actually good when they were in the ECNL.

That seems like it makes sense, but it doesn’t. You’re comparing teams one for one, but one league is twice as big as the other. This allows you to pretend the bottom half of ECNL doesn’t exist. But they do.

Tophat got too big for their britches
FCV got too big for their britches

Now they both lay in the same bed.

Btw..GA was spearheaded by Tophat. And , players are leaving Tophat

I pity any NC Courage players when College Coaches come to watch them play against a last place McLean team.

Can someone explain this to me?
Are they saying the leagues are similar?

What do the teams next to each other mean?
FCV is comparable to PDA? Haha they wouldn’t beat PDA’s 2nd teams
Minnesota thunder and Arlington? Minnesota thunder would beat every Arlington team by at least 3 goals
McLean and Minnesota eclipse? Has anyone heard of MN Eclipse?
Carolina Elite and Metro United? Carolina Elite would pick their score...5, 10, 3 touchdowns

On that 2-win McLean team? Both FCV and Arlington would drop 5-0 or worse on McLean. Patch or no patch. Players can either play or they can’t. Patches don’t change that.
