MU 05 DAD RIGHT BACK AT IT.

At least fcv YouTube dad is with a team that wins. Same with pipeline dad. Spirit/mu dad is the worst.[/quote]

Sorry but MU DA and Arlington DA are not top 5. Maryland ECNL is struggling.  You folks need to look beyond DA/ECNL.

FCV, McLean and Bethesda are the only teams that I would consider worthy of top 5 status. VDA should get some consideration as should. Sadly, I think if Baltimore teams are not eligible, you don't don't have more than four teams worthy of elite status. [/quote]

For Virginia, McLean FCV and VDA are the top teams in this age group.  After these three, there is a big drop off. [/quote]

Hard to support that considering one of your 'Top' teams lost to the Spirit VA. And even if the win was a fluke, is there really a 'big' drop off? Seems to lose by a single goal means the Spirit kept the game close the entire game, so not so much difference.

FCV, Arlington, MU / VDA IMO.  McLean would be another step down. I'm leaving out the Balitmore teams to keep Pipeline dad on the bench.[/quote]

This is Pipeline guy (I don't have a connection to the club). BTW, There is no team in the area that can field an elite A team (DA/ECNL) and still have an elite B team at almost every age group. Pipeline's B team can beat and has beaten every top team in the DMV.

Leaving Pipeline out of this and focusing on VA, FCV is clearly the best team. McLean is a clear second. I would add that one game does not reflect an entire season. For example, McLean lost to the PA State Cup Champ in the Bethesda Tournament 0-4 but then beat the same team at Jefferson Cup 2-0. McLean has beaten enough quality non-ECNL teams to show that it is one of the better teams in the region.

VDA and Arlington are good but have not dominated as FCV and McLean have done. If Mclean tanks in San Diego then we can have another discussion but until then, the team is the 2nd most competitive team outside of FCV. I think Bethesda on the MD will compete at a high level once it brings together the best or MRM Rush with the best of Bethesda. [/quote]

I only referred to Virginia teams.  Pipeline is certainly in the conversation when you look at the entire DMV area.  I agree that McLean and FCV are ahead of VDA, but VDA is the closest to them among the rest of the teams.   Arlington and Spirit are further down, based on MULTIPLE games they play.  The PP, who boasted about 1-0 win by the Spirit over VDA, does not understand that you have to evaluate the entire body of work.  Rubin Kazan beat Barcelona in the Champions league several years ago, but it is silly to suggest that there was no talent and quality gap between those teams.  [/quote]
