[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SUSA (ECNL) just announced a partnership with Gotham FC (NWSL).

Will SUSA join GA now?

DD is little and I am trying to navigate all of this for her.[/quote]
NWSL doesn't seem to care about locking down youth talent under contract the way MLS does with the boys.

Because of this there's no clear path to NWSL for girls. All Berman (NWSL commissioner) seems to care about is new franchise clubs, getting cities to pay for exclusive NWSL stadiums, and TV contracts. I guess this makes sense in a growth phase. But eventually NSWL will need to focus on providing a better product on the field. This will mean youth players under contracts, acadamies, and homegrown player rules.

MLS is trying to provide leadership / assistance to NWSL via GA hopefully NWSL starts investing in soccer.[/quote]

NWSL only gets two spots for development projects currently. And they have to be picky about it because the requirements for care of minors come from FIFA, it’s an undertaking and investment. Gotham seems to be experimenting with this now that the draft is gone. It’s a good thing.

The long term solution is a proof of concept for minor development (ie Gotham model), expand the spots for minors once the foundation is built, and then add an academy so they can have B teams or 2nd tier teams (like Courage with USL) they can add more minors into for development.

Again, if people don’t see the groundwork being laid for this, and the GA elevation to the sanctioning level (peers with MLS, NWSL, etc) as well MLS partnership, Gotham expansion, Koge, OL entering in 2020 and adding an academy, Kang investment at YNT and TID, etc etc etc….if you cants see the momentum, writing on the wall, etc…you’re blind either willfully or ignorantly.[/quote]

What does Koge have to do with GA?[/quote]
