[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DA needs to go. We need one elite national league. Bring DA into ECNL. Let USSF manage national team prospects. IF ECNL becomes the elite national league then it should help USSF scout talent. They can use ECNL to build a strong player pool in each age group. Let USSF support club soccer and not compete against it.  [/quote]

I’d prefer to let an entity that actually cares about the players and development run things. As it stands, USSF cares about growing soccer popularity and US Club soccer cares about profiting on that growth. I know that USSF is a mess, but at least they can argue that they care more about the pure game and national interest. US Club soccer cares only about money. In the past three years, they’ve launched new (and more frequent) showcases, regional talent showcases, national talent showcases, etc.... It feels like the ODP model all over. They have more than quadrupled their club rosters since they started and now they have been giving clubs multiple teams per age group. None of this serves to help identify, develop or consolidate talent. It actually harms that process by simply recreating the mess we already have...but the cash now flows to the guys in Richmond instead of being more distributed. GDA should be funded by US Soccer to offset the costs and talent should be more critically evaluated for those clubs. Letting US Club Soccer manage the top league will only harm the consumer and our future soccer potential.[/quote]

Me too.  The ECNL leadership is just trying to protect its revenue stream. [/quote]
