[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this right? Now there are 7 GA teams in NoVa?
Mclean
Loudoun
NVA
Revolution
SYC
Alexandria
St James

7 GA and the 3 ECNL teams makes 10 national platform teams? 11 if Bethesda is included. Does any other metro have anything close to this many teams?[/quote]

SoCal, Atlanta, NYC and some others depending on if you just asking about an actual metro area of an specific area size.

You also forgot Skyline[/quote]

Plus Armour Celtic and MDU if we are talking about the MSI.  And coppermine.  Too many.[/quote]
Last year all the ECNL hats were laughing because they thought no club would switch from ECNL to GA.

This year apparently too many ECNL clubs have switched to GA.

The nonsense never stops with the hats.[/quote]

I am the PP-- the point I was making is we do not have the depth of talent in this region to support 13-15 teams.  Not a single one of those teams will be able to compete at the highest level, whether that be ENCL or GA.  I did not speak to either specifically [/quote]

Don't confused talent with training. Clubs, especially ECNL, have become complacent knowing they'd never be removed and that they effectively blocked certain competing clubs from entering. Ever think why and area with a larger population would have less clubs in ECNL or GA then some other areas? They don't breed them different in Texas, Georgia, or Cal they just train them better.[/quote]

This is the part that's being missed.  With more options, clubs are going to have to really differentiate themselves.  Existing simply because you're in the league won't cut it anymore.  They actually will have to train and develop players.  I do think for this to work, GA is going to have to actually relegate clubs based on a performance during a set window.  In my best dreams, it would be team by team.[/quote]
