[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked how many ECNL alums were on the World Cup Winning team not on national teams. [/quote]

Give me a second. I'll search it.

Here is what I do know however.

NOT A SINGLE GDA PLAYER HAS EVER WON A WORLD CUP. OR OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL.. .EVER....NEVER EVER...EVER EVER? EVER EVER![/quote]

Relax. The point is not about GDA but more about how long actual development cycles really are. Folks are bashing DA for not producing results on the men’s side.

ECNL has been around for nearly as long as Boys DA has and ECNL has yet to really put its stamp on a far less competitive women’s international game. While our women’s team did win the last World Cup ECNL has had zero impact.

What does this mean? Nothing more than instant results are silly when things like DA are developed. These are longer term investments that do not yield immediate results. ECNL and DA have not really proven to be developmental but they have proven to make scouting easier for colleges.
