Very good chance ECNL will be absorbing MLSN2 boys and GA girls. [/quote] Agree. As a dad of a Q4 kid I believe it will be better for my kid's development and exposure ECNL rather than MLSN2.[/quote] "believe" being the operative word[/quote] If you don't "believe" the guy, then what exposure is his player getting in MLSN2 that is so great? They added so many clubs in that league this past year - 1/3 of them were not even playing in a regional league before - basically a punch of state premier and NAL clubs. without that MSLN badge on the sleeve you would laugh at any poster on here claiming their kid was getting exposure at state premier or NAL. So, if your saying that badge is worth that much, then explain why? I'm not seeing it - not at the MLSN2 level; especially with a split BY and SY for next season making MLSN2 a dead end for promotion.[/quote] How are ECNL coaches, coaching and development of players better than MLSN2? How is the level of competition in ECNL better than MLSN2?[/quote] Most MLS2 is B team and we all know what level of B team is. You can call it MLS#, like you put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. [/quote] ECNL is a B Team League behind MLS Next People here keep putting layers of lipstick on that pig though [/quote] Obviously has no real knowledge about p2p MLS clubs. They are at best sthe ame as ECNL. Check the Surf College Cup last weekend: MLS teams are mostly at the bottom of each group, and some got beaten by RL teams. [/quote] In SURF College Cup 2011 age group for example there were ECNL teams and MLS AD teams (Academy division - MLS 2). No actual MLS Next HG (top division teams). In one half of the bracket the MLS2 teams prevailed, and on the other half the ECNL teams prevailed. Same thing with 2010. Big deal - these are not MLS Next 1 teams losing to ECNL. https://public.totalglobalsports.com/public/event/4014/standings/33985 AND https://public.totalglobalsports.com/public/event/4014/standings/33980[/quote] MLS Next HG lost to ECNL RL teams in Copa Rayados Internacional:https://system.gotsport.com/org_event/events/44447/schedules?group=387879 [/quote] MLSN teams in Texas are not even close to ECNL teams. Texas and California, ECNL is king. We know boys playing on MLSN HG teams in Houston that couldn't even make an HTX RL team, but they're having fun! Enjoying playing soccer, developing as players. So really who cares? Personally I think playing on a MLSN HG team as opposed to an ECNL RL team and because of that missing ourt on the joy and camaraderie that is texas high school soccer is silly but to each other own! The only thing thats laughable is the idea that MLS P2P clubs in Texas is somehow a better path to a professional academy. We see kids every year go from all kinds of teams into the professional academies, as well as get cut form those same academies and come back to ECNL teams. No age group change is going to change any of that. [/quote] When we look at the USYNT age groups, should we expect to see many ECNL representatives from U15 to U21? Especially from Texas? Because currently the rosters don't reflect your claimed superiority [/quote] No, you'll see exclusively MLS professional academies, and if you are claiming that in Texas, the MLS professional academies and the MLSN P2P clubs are similar in quality you are very far off. They are not competitive at all. [/quote] Those MLS shills love to mix the MLSN Academy team with the P2P MLSN together to make them look superior, while the P2P MLS is at most on par with ECNL.
