I think we know which league is the A league.

And if you are a BRYC 04 this means what exactly?

Please, tell us about your amazing team. Oh, did you see the thread about the Mid Atlantic Division being split into North and South? I wonder how ECNL plans to fill out a North Division? B teams? NPL teams? New VA clubs that aren’t in GA?  [/quote]

Top clubs in any area are in ECNL and that is the case in the DMV. The only top club not in the ECNL is FCV. Arlington and MU are not at the same level. They weren't before DA and they are not now. [/quote]
The Soccerwire rankings are a joke.  FCV is not a top club.  They were just in an awful division in the DA.  They only looked good because that division didn’t have many teams come from the ECNL.  A perfect example of that is the FCV 04 team that is ranked overall 2 in the DA and first in their poor conference can’t beat lower level ECNL teams.  FCV was the worst club in the area when they were in the ECNL.

I am not an FCV fan but FCV is one of the top teams in the DMV. NT and YNT players, league records and players going to DI schools sets the club apart from the middle of the pack.

Stop! I am not an FCV fan but FCV is one[/quote]

Agree. Not a FCV fan but the statement went to far. I agree that Arlington and MU (and frankly Atlantic DA and now GAL) try to hang their hat on the success of FCV. I agree that their division in the DA was weak. However, the are recognized nationally as a above average elite club. They're nowhere near the level of Dallas, Solar, Hawks, PDA, etc as a club, but they are founding members of ECNL and Terry Foleys club (yes, his creation) has uplifted the women's soccer game in this area when others failed to do so.

Terry Foley would have gotten FCV back into the ECNL where they belong. He's gone, and so is FCV. Not because they're not good enough. We all know they are. Its because of arrogance on so many levels. Some of you, most of you, don't understand the level. [/quote]
