[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s it going to take for these GA parents to admit and accept, the GA wasn’t before, is not now and never will be the top league. It’s ok that your daughter doesn’t play for or against the best. It was a very respectable 2nd tier league. But with the constant inclusion of more low caliber teams and defections of more and more good ones, that too is going to become questionable. [/quote]

GA vs ECNL arguments about which is the better league is stupid.  That's like arguing if EPL is better than La Liga

the U17 YWNT just played in Mexico and it had a mix of GA and ECNL girls on the roster.  Are the girls that played ECNL any better than the girls that played GA because they played in ECNL and vice versa? No.  Is MBappe any worse of a player because he plays for PSG in Ligue 1 vs Man City in EPL or Real Madrid in La Liga? The league DOESN'T MAKE THE PLAYER.

At the end of the day, the only real thing that matters in the player.  If they're good enough and they put in effort on their recruiting, they'll be seen and get offers - RL and EDP players are playing in D1.  Talent is talent.[/quote]

The argument wasn't stupid when you thought GA was going to become DA 2.0[/quote]

It was then, it is stupid now and it will be stupid going forward. [/quote]

Little premature for anyone GA or ECNL to be thumping their chests, time will tell which league thriives but where you play matters little if you can play. If you can't play then go chase a badge, just hope you will actually play, far too many benchwarmers shelling out thousands of dollars each year just to say they play in one of these two leagues. Current ECNL parent, but I'd be an idiot to say that ECNL will have something resembling DA before GA does it. Models are differnt ECNL is only college, GA is a development academies that place girls at colleges and professionally. Pick which one works for your kid and then shut up[/quote]
