[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe wait and see if this NEW NEW league lasts longer than the last one or even lasts a year before criticizing what the league that didn’t die should or shouldn’t do. Just a thought. [/quote]

ECNL was created in 2009 and survived the full wrath of the USSF and won. I think we all know what league will still be around and thriving. Just a though.  [/quote]

ECNL currently has 96 clubs. They have added this spring but they are not included in the count. Of those 96, about 10 to 20 are top notch. The rest are just soccer clubs.

As ECNL expands, and it will expand, it will simply be the largest national league but the quality will be closer to a National CCL level.

So, much like DA faced with MLS clubs ECNL will have to tier their league or the top clubs will begin to grow restless pounding on undeserving clubs. ECNL will then either have to kick clubs out, (lol, never), or tier to the top 40-50. If they don’t tier those same clubs, who don’t need the patch, will just form their own thing and splinter off.

The cycle will repeat. The leagues need the mega clubs more than the mega clubs need the league. When PDA’s B team is still a top team in a ECNL division how patient will a club like PDA be pounding on FC Bucks? The mega clubs will eventually splinter off and do their own thing and invite the clubs they like to follow along.

That was how ECNL was built and why it was successful and capped around 50 clubs.

If a North/South division is created in the mid Atlantic they will have to back fill with more clubs. As currently scheduled HS prohibits any flexibility between MD and VA games other than Jan/Feb/Mar games before VA spring HS starts. And nothing is more predictable and fun than February soccer.

ECNL is watering itself down. [/quote]

I do not understand this argument. As it’s the same as when ECNL added teams over the last two years. It’s an argument for arguments sake. Will this new league even survive until next summer? Who knows.

Add to it this area is too watered down so honestly, stop. Just stop. Clubs from this area strike no fear in top clubs from GA, CA, TX, NJ. Find a spot for your kid, start training more than the wall balls these local clubs think suffice and pray it works out. [/quote]

Worthless post[/quote]

The elite clubs will always be elite. There are not more than 50 truly elite clubs regardless of a patch on their jersey. The other 50+ clubs are nothing more filler and can be replaced by virtually any club. [/quote]

another worthless post (2 for 2 today). Atta boy. You're on a roll[/quote]
