[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really don’t like FCV. They are a pariah club that exists by recruiting players away from other local clubs and their parents think their s**t doesn’t stink. Also it is clear that they don’t have a bright future given their league. But, but, but their teams are good, some very good. Saying they should be in the bottom brackets is foolish. Their teams are placed appropriately at Jeff cup. Loudoun’s teams are currently not as good at the 4 oldest ages groups.  But Loudoun’s teams will get better moving forward and FCV’s will get worse. Loudoun is getting their coaching sorted at the younger ages. Next year, Loudoun’s 4 youngest ECNL teams will likely be stronger on average than FCV’s. Every year into the future that difference will only get wider.[/quote]

I agree with this analysis.

I also agree with the other poster about the illusion of success in the GA. FCV older teams are not tending in a positive direction. I suspect it’s because they were forced to step out of their bubble and face competition that they couldn’t walk all over. Beating teams 11-0, 9-0, 8-0 isn’t good for development. It was a shock to their system.

As far as brackets....there are teams that are in the Top bracket that clearly don’t belong there. It’s not a perfect science by any means and looks like some politics may be involved.

With pandemic the “rankings” are all over the place. Teams are still benefiting from winning tournaments from summer of 2019 which haven’t dropped off yet.

Girls are 99% the same.  I'm fine with that.  For the most part, the groupings are sound and providing very competitive games.  Every bracket has their lopsided games, but the top two in each bracket going into tomorrow are pretty close.[/quote]

Oh no they’re not[/quote]
