[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP.  Let me sum up the responses to the original question as to why Loudoun teams are struggling in ECNL.  The following explanations were given: (1) top Loudoun players went to FCV, and to a lesser extent Washington Spirit and ECNL clubs because Loudoun did not play in an elite level league; (2) now that Loudoun has joined ECNL, its teams are not used to a higher speed of play that CCL did not prepare them for.  Both explanations make sense to me.  Any other reasons?

I have no interest in discussing 07 teams at Loudoun or FCV or any other club.  They don't play in ECNL.  You can create your own thread and continue your petty squabbles there.  [/quote]

Non FCV Parent and Non Loudoun Parent

I agree with all this 07 talk seeming to be a bit much. Quite a few threads turned into 07 talk like it will be the last age group ever to play soccer. I guess there are no 08s, 09s, 10s and now 11s.

Loudoun 07s do look very very good. The parents of the DDs all seem to be making a stand to stay at Loudoun. Who can blame them as their team is fantastic. It is their choice on where their DD plays but they seem very insecure about their decision and have to keep justifying why they will stay at Loudoun and why FC Virginia will be horrible. Multiple threads and posts!  Also how are they so sure that FC Virginia would even want their DDs?

Now FCV 07 do seem to need a few players. The Loudoun 07 parents who have been beating the dead horse say they would never go to FC Virginia, I think a few players would. DDs that don’t start may think they have a chance to start at FC Virginia or Washington Spirit and leave Loudoun. The other idea here for FC Virginia is there is more out there than Loudoun Soccer and your DDs. I am sure they can get a few kids from each of CYA, SYC, Herndon, ODFC, McLean, Potomac, Winchester, FPYC, VSA or somewhere. There will be enough talent to fill an already stacked Loudoun 07 roster and an FC Virginia 07 roster.

I’m not sure who will be better in three years. Washington Spirit 07s, Loudoun 07s or FC Virginia 07s but what I do think is they don’t have to keep going on and on about 07s and trying to justify the decisions they are making. As I stated they seem very insecure. As someone said 07s aren’t ECNL or DA yet, so let’s not rush things and let the DDs enjoy their tournament this weekend and let the kids be kids! Perhaps pick up this conversation in 2 to 3 years and someone could say I told you so.[/quote]
