[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL currently is going after GA Champions Cup Clubs who had ECNL as a Boys Platform already. All 4 of the clubs to-date ticked each one of these boxes. Why is that? Easy for them to come over, low hanging fruit.

This is a defense move by the ECNL to try and stop the growing problem of GA & MLS Next Clubs who are only growing with more power.

They are tyring to kill the GA with a massive attack by picking off the largest clubs they can get that were vunerable with no MLS Next affilitaion. PR Headshot

MLS Next IS the platform on Boys side. NWSL Next may become that on Girls side. And what league shall we ask is  currently set up best to be the prefferred platform for NWSL Next if it comes out....the GA with it's new affilitation with US Soccer and and the ability to register players.

Exactly correct.

[b]- Owners of MLS clubs also own NWSL clubs[/b]
- MLS Next is the top league for youth boys
- The people at US Soccer are the same ones that brought us DA several years ago (they believe in the academy model)
- US Soccer just made GA the same level as MLS NWSL USMTN USWNT

What do you think the odds are that NWSL will want to control the female youth talent pool like MLS?
What do you think the odds are that NWSL will copy MLS and create NWSL Next?[/quote]

not really. Three NWSL teams are associated with MLS teams

You are ridiculous and trying to nitpick so hard. It doesn't matter how many own both. They'll see the success of MLS Next and want to duplicate it on the women's side.[/quote]

It isn't nitpicking, it is stating facts and context. # NWSL clubs owned by MLS clubs is not the same as saying generally that MLS clubs own NWSL clubs.

The leagues are separate with their own agendas and issues, challenges and needs.

You are looking for some grand connection that just doesn't exist in the way you want it too.

It took MLS over a decade to get to a point where their Academies are now fully funded. Even if what you say is true, it is going to be a very long time and your 2012 SYC GA girls team will never see it happen in their youth playing time to matter.[/quote]
