[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with ECNL is if NWSL partners with them the way MLS did with what became MLSN they have no control over how a league is setup implemented and run. More specifically if ECNL is involved they'll want to do showcases and get college recruiters etc involved. Also ECNL has shown that if they don't get what they want they'll work as a group and "take their ball and go home".

From a business perspective all NWSL (just like MLS) wants from a youth league is access to young talent. They don't care about college. They just need a "minor league" where their 2nd teams (aka academy teams) can play against reasonable competition.

This is why GA is a much more appealing way for NWSL to partner with youth.

Maybe NWSL could do something with ECNL but they'd have to implement a league within a league that only focused on playing professionally. But again why would you want to do this when you don't need to and you'd get all the control vs working with ECNL leadership.[/quote]

MLS didn’t want to work with US Soccer or partner with youth leagues. They wanted the freedom to run their academies and their league the way they want so they made their own league.

It is hilarious that you believe that when NWSL, a professional league, is ready to run academies that they will partner with any youth league. They won’t.

They will do what MLS did and just make their own league when the time is right. All of your pinning your hopes and dreams that somehow GA is the Apple of NWSL’s eye is simply delusional.

Non NWSL clubs will apply be accepted and a new league is formed. This is how it ends. [/quote]
Sigh .. You have no idea what you're talking about.

US Soccer created DA which blew up in 2020 and became MLS Next and GA.

Now NWSL leadership is saying that they're working with US Soccer.

If NWSL is working with US Soccer it means they're also working with GA. [/quote]

Sigh, US Soccer emphatically ended being in the youth soccer game. They are more than happy to let MLS do their thing and develop players and US Soccer will do the same with NWSL.

US Soccer is no longer in the youth development business. They scout, assemble train and play now. That’s it.

NWSL will form their own league when the time is right and will choose from the best clubs outside of their own academies, which will the top tier.

Neither GA not ECNL will have an inside track. [/quote]
What if I told you that the same people that created DA also created MLSN and GA.

US Soccer might have gotten away from directly telling clubs how to coach players. But they're still in the background when it comes to leagues.[/quote]
