[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go read the comments on the GA posts. You will quickly be able to see that folks know what this membership means.

This is something they have worked for for 4 years. Do you really think they are happy because they can self sanction?

The writing is on the wall. They just gained some access to some very very good resources. There is also a reason you have been here for two days trying to downplay the news. Scared much? [/quote]

The membership is the same as US Club soccer already has.

A seat at the table is just that, a seat at the same table that others have already had.

Point to ANY language that says partnership, league oversight or USNT pipeline exclusive to GA. Just one actual quote.

Point to anything NWSL has posted or stated that references a new home grown alliance or partnership with GA. Just one. [/quote]

Minute 20:16
NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman

"The next thing we have to tackle is the Domestic player pipeline"

While talking to a US Soccer representative and with GA representatives in in the audience. (not ECNL)[/quote]

Not a single word about youth leagues mentioned. It is generic lip service without a single concrete bullet point list mentioned.

To presume that what she said means GA is now the DA 2.0 is laughable. She never even mentioned “academies”. Domestic “pipeline” can means any number of things.

This is the head of the NWSL talking to US Soccer (the group that created DA) and she's saying "The next thing we have to tackle is the Domestic player pipeline".

To me that's where my ears perk up.[/quote]

And suspiciously the only Women’s Amateur league that has connections with youth club was just sanctioned by US Soccer as a Division 1 professional league. This seems like an already established and previously untapped pipeline to me?

When are the clubs supposedly leaving GA for ECNL being announced?[/quote]

I don’t think anyone put an immediate timeline on it and if GA clubs were leaving why would they want to announce to far ahead of GA events that they would still be 100% committed to attending.

This isn’t an unaffiliated club situation like SYC or Revolution who need to be announced ahead of tryout season.

Current scoreboard...

1. GA was Promoted by US Soccer
2. GA added SYC
3. GA added Revolution
4. GA added Seattle Celtic

1. ECNL has a rumor that between 3 and 10 GA clubs will be leaving GA for ECNL. The rumor was started by two guys on X who are now ignoring anyone that asks about it. Oh, also the teams rumored to be leaving GA for ECNL changes depending on who you're talking with.

[/quote]

Seattle Celtic doesn’t have a GA aged team in the top ten of their own state.

SYC has only one rising team in the top ten of VA

Revolution has zero teams in the top ten of their own state. That will change with whatever happens with FCV but FCV will certainly be weakened.

GA is grabbing clubs with teams ranked in the hundreds nationally and basically unranked in their own state. These are the best of clubs who applied. This is what desperation looks like. [/quote]
