[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So last year ECNL forced the Mclean union to combine with BRAVE. Turns out they overplayed their hand and drove Mclean to GA. Now with Loudoun about to do the same, ECNL managed to diminish their footprint in NoVa and allowed a competitor to move in. It might take a couple more years but in no way does this help ECNL. Of course the fanboys will try to spin it that way (fewer watered down teams  means better teams!) but ECNL doesn’t want this. [/quote]

Yeah but competitve parents want this because they want DD in SD playing in front of scouts. Parents drive the market not the leagues. As a GA parent one can feel one of two ways about this.

1. GA brand is thriving and overaking ECNL this is the place to be now and for the long haul

2. GA has taken a large piece of the market but it's still second to ECNL  in the DMV which makes playing for VDA, Arlington, Bethesda or even Maryland Utd a better option than slumming it in GA until NWSL starts poaching players of course.

My conclusion:

2012 or younger go GA 
2011 or older stick with ECNL
