[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would give FCV the credit it deserves. Considering that the club has produced talented players and teams over the years including Emily Fox. That 05 team is very strong and can go up against the best anywhere. Hell, Brazil was crushed by Germany in 14 w/o Neymar. If those teams had played nine more times, I doubt Germany would have come anywhere near that goal count. FCV has some very talented players.

McLean has had a strong season considering that the team was rebuilding. I agree that the ECNL MA conference is not the strongest, as witnessed by most of the teams placing in the bottom 15 team in the entire SC Showcase in early May. Give CW credit for getting that the 05 team to a very competitive level. They were at the bottom of ECNL the year before and finished in 2nd place this year. The team won the August Cup where it beat MRM Rush and then finished as a finalist in the very competitive Champions bracket at JefCup.

McLean and FCV represent the best in their leagues in the DMV. [/quote]

Jesus, nobody is denying the success of FCV in the past. The future of FCV aid what is being discussed. It is a Apples to Oranges discussion to discuss the success of teams formed when FCV was in a two horse race for elite talent.

05 represents the last year that FCV had unfettered access to elite players before ECNL expanded. Most of Loudoun’s  05’s had trained with and had been picked over by FCV before Loudoun’s ECNL was announced.

The 06 FCV team is far from dominant and the 07 team by all reports failed to attract much if any real outside interest.

The 08 team seems unremarkable in rankings, actually behind GFR’s team as well as Loudoun Arlington etc.

The 09 team is mostly invisible and well behind Loudoun, Arlington, McLean and GFR.

So where are the players going to come from when the early evidence is showing that players are simply staying put at their starting clubs?

FCV is no longer a destination club moving forward. [/quote]
