GA is not as good as ECNL but stop with this silliness of ECNL-R being a top league in any way shape or form. As ECNL and GA both continue to expand it is simply a race to the bottom. [/quote]

I disagree. The mid Atlantic ecnl-r teams would do well in the GAL mid Atlantic. [/quote]

Well arlington was average to above average in GA but you think their 2nd team would do well in Ga? Does not make sense unless you think there is little difference between their teams?[/quote]

No. I think ecnl-r teams would do well in the GAL. Nothing about 2nd teams[/quote]

You people are missing the point of ECNL-r. It doesn’t matter which league has better teams. They serve different purposes. ECNL and GAL are national leagues for players interested in getting maximum college exposure, showcases, etc. ECNL-r players are generally done playing after high school. Just because a player is in ECNL-R doesn’t mean they are inferior. Just that they are not likely to play in college. [/quote]

I’m just saying that the GAL clubs are weak and on the same level as ECNL-R clubs. GAL may be a national league but everyone knows how weak most of the clubs are in GAL. The local ECNL-R clubs are just as good or better than most GAL clubs. Top ECNL-R girls will be recruited at the same level as GAL players. Don’t be naive to thinking this is a pathway to ECNL for FCV, which frankly these days is a glorified CCL club looking for a way to transition to Springfield[/quote]

This is a pathway.  Jealousy is unbecoming. [/quote]

LOL ECNLr is for the second teams. It is not a pathway to anything. You really think ECNL will spend any time or resources pushing ECNLr to colleges?I got a bridge to sell you. ECNL’s path way in ECNL. GA will be better vs ECNLr any day of the week for anyone interested in college. [/quote]

One jealous mom. [/quote]

Seriously, what is there to be jealous of? Making a ECNL clubs B team or some small clubs A team? Are we all supposed to be jealous of ECNL’s B league?

[/quote]

It’s delicious to troll Soccer Mom A who thinks Dear Child is untouchable and that any league other than the one Dear Child plays is total garbage.  You are insignificant.  I think we’re done here.

BUH-bye!

As long as you understand that nobody is jealous of ECNL-R. You can beat your chest all you want but coming in here and trying to convince people that ECNL-R is the same as ECNL and somehow superior to other leagues is being ignorant.

It is ECNL’s B team league. That is just fact, it isn’t an insult it is just what ECNL intends it to be. So, it is a mix of ECNL B teams and non-ECNL club A teams. [/quote]
Outside of a few players on each ECNL team, the talent in ECNL-RL is the same. 80% of the kids in ECNL are there because their parents grovel.[/quote]

Ok, so you are a Villarreal parent who's kid didn't make a ECNL squad, presumably because you didn't grovel.

If FCV takes over do you honestly believe that improves your kids chances?

And as far as  ECNL-R players being the same as ECNL I guess you don't know what you don't know. The top 3-4 ECNL-R players could be swapped for the bottom 3-4 players on a ECNL or GA roster. There may be a few kids who are very talented that had no interest in leaving their team to play on a ECNL team but by U15 frankly the talent has been picked clean and that is accounting for a very diluted "Elite" soccer landscape in NOVA.

7 "Elite" teams offering 140 spots  per age group already. The talent drop off is significant after ECNL and GA in our area. ECNL-R will not be any proving ground or pathway into ECNL in our region. [/quote]

Not Villarreal. You could swap the top 4-5 RL for any in the bottom 15-16 (of 20) and there is no difference. Also, reverse it and put one of the bottom 15-16 in an RL game and they wouldn’t change the game and probably wouldn’t even stand out. You don’t know what you don’t know.[/quote]

The highest ranked ECNL-R 07 team in VA is Beach FC.

This was their results from last falls WAGS
11 Oct 20	MARYLAND UNITED FC ECNL	          0 - 3	 33.71
10 Oct 20	BALTIMORE ARMOUR ACADEMY GA	  1 - 2	 33.73
10 Oct 20	BALTIMORE CELTIC SC GA	                  0 - 1	 33.61

They scored one goal against a GA team and lost to two GA and one ECNL teams.

They were close to GA but a 3 goal differential against their lone ECNL opponent doe not lead one to believe that the difference is just 3-4 players. And as a top ECNL-R team, while competitive they still lost to mid table GA teams.

You don't know what you don't know.

And Beach FC is significant because they do not have the player pool dilution and are pretty far away to lose their best players to Richmond ECNL. Beach has a pretty large and isolated player pool, unlike NOVA.
