[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is strategic, not something that will happen overnight.

When DA folded, ECNL was there, established, and had positioned themselves to take over the girls game.

That is the position GA is in right now. No one knows where college will be in the next 3+ years. Last I heard they were wanting to be governed by US Soccer as well…

1000% true.

Eventually NWSL is going to need to focus on the quality of the product they put on the  field. Once this happens GA MLSN and US Soccer will be where they turn.[/quote]

Lol. Why the GA? [/quote]

Firstly because they are self sanctioned now, less red tape compared to ECNL.

Second, NWSL will get more of what it wants. ECNL doesn’t need a pro pathway, and they’re not setup for it, easier to set the pathway up from GA than a platform that is largely a scholarship program.

Third, have you seen women’s college soccer? It’s awful. Watch the national championship, first touches bouncing 8 yards like a u-little match. That is what academy soccer produces for NCAA. If you were NWSL wouldn’t you want a platform that you can shape almost ground up vs current brick-touch Academy soccer?

First, this means nothing. ECNL has no red tape preventing players from signing pro contracts. In fact there are pro scouts st ECNL showcases and have been for as long as DD has played ECNL. DD has been to invite-only NWSL youth camps. It’s always majority ECNL and a few GA players that are usually YNT.

Second, there is a pro pathway in ECNL. Look at all of the players that have signed pro contracts coming out of ECNL.

Third, starting NWSL Academy league with GA would be “almost ground up” and ECNL is “brick touch soccer academy”? That doesn’t make sense. [/quote]
