[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL level is horrible too, except for Arlington, which is the only local team that did not get blown out by NC Courage.  [/quote]

I think it is so funny that a FCV parent posts these things to make himself feel better. By the way, Arlington is in 5th place and will begin to move down. VDA is above Arlington. NC Courage lost today.

Please get over yourself. Every team in Mid Atlantic GA would be the very bottom except FCV. Fact. [/quote]

Jefferson cup should reveal how strong the GA teams are in comparison to ECNL[/quote]

Actually WAGS already gave a preview of how typical GA and ECNL teams will fare.

GA results: 
9 09 GA teams went 6-21 
08’s had 6 GA teams that went a combined 3-15.

ECNL results: 
08, 4 ECNL teams played and had a combined record of 7-5. 
09 ECNL. 4 teams went a combined 9-3

ECNL 16-8 to GA’s 9-36 
ECNL was under represented at WAGS with zero ECNL division leaders and all middle to lower of the pack teams and yet still combined for a winning record. [/quote]

Sorry but you need to look at the brackets. If it’s not the top flight, local ECNL/GA team and 08’s it does not matter. There is a big difference between the top flight and the second flight. Many times the teams that get crushed in the top flight would be competitive in the second flight. While the second flight winner would not make it out of group play in the top flight. [/quote]

Sorry, but not even GotSoccer believes the difference between the “Cup Bracket” and “Bracket A” is as vast as you would have us believe.

Cup Bracket awarded points: 7500
Bracket A awardee points: 7150
Bracket B awarded points: 4800

Lol got soccer! Seriously that is a good one!

YSR had two teams at 34.50 plus and two at about 33 roughly in the top flight. That’s below Richmond but above VDA.

The second flight highest team was about 32.3ish. You really think the top flight is the same as the second flight? [/quote]

Based on YSR points here is where FCV would hypothetically place in ECNL Mid Atlantic

1. 35.21 Richmond
2. 34.18 VDA
3. 34.13 NC Courage
4. 34.02 Carolina Elite
5. 33.7 Charlotte SA
6. 33.56 Arlington
[b]7. 33.53 FCV[/b]

FCV's hypothetical finish in ECNL North Atlantic
1. 36.12 PDA
2. 34.45 Penn Fusion
3. 33.89 Pipeline
[b]4. 33.53 FCV[/b]

And moving further north, FCV's hypothetical finish in New England
1. 34.38 FC Stars
2. 34.59 World Class
3. 34.29 SUSA
[b]4. 33.53 FCV[/b]

Regardless of conference FCV fails to qualify for Champions League which of course would save families a trip to California to just get bounced in group stage.

Of the top 100 teams in the Nation 9 are GA. Congrats FCV, you're one of the few good GA teams around. [/quote]

Hard to know how good the GA teams are, most are in conferences with very little competition. [/quote]

Here are the two leagues combined by National ranks from YSR between both Mid Atlantic Conferences (GA is bolded):

12 Richmond
38 VDA
39 NC Courage
45 CESA
54 Charlotte SA
61 Arlington
[b]63 FCV
74 SJEB[/b]
163 SC United
165 VA Union
171 Loudoun
174 Charlotte Independence
231 NCFC
[b]243 Sporting Delaware
282 Metro
364 Skyline
378 Cedar Stars[/b]
393 Wilmington
[b]465 Baltimore Celtic
475 Armour[/b]
481 NC Fusion
590 BRYC
[b]995 PA Classics
1034 Ukrainian Nationals[/b]

There are only 3 ECNL teams ranked substantially low/lower than some of the middle of the pack GA teams. And even as bad as BRYC is at #590 it pales in comparison to PA Classics and Ukrainian Nationals who are both ranked around 1000th in the Nation 995 & 1034 respectively. To put that low a number in perspective, YSR ranks 3466 U14 teams.

Two teams that FCV faces are barely ranked in the top third in the Nation. GA Mid Atlantic has two teams in the top 100 and outside of that ECNL Mid Atlantic have 11 teams ranked higher Nationally than the rest of the GA Conference combined.

When you look at the stark contrast in quality you can see why FCV parents must spend part of every morning polishing that WAGs medal.

FCV's WAGS opponents below are now thrown into the rankings to where they fit in league wise (WAGS italicized):

12 Richmond
[i]24 Anbry[/i]
38 VDA
39 NC Courage
45 CESA
54 Charlotte SA
61 Arlington
[b]63 FCV
74 SJEB[/b]
[i]107 Morris Academy[/i]
[i]119 FC Bucks/CRUSA[/i]
[i]128 Total Futbal Elite[/i]
163 SC United
165 VA Union
171 Loudoun
174 Charlotte Independence
231 NCFC
[b]243 Sporting Delaware
282 Metro
364 Skyline
378 Cedar Stars[/b]
393 Wilmington
[b]465 Baltimore Celtic
475 Armour[/b]
481 NC Fusion
590 BRYC
[b]995 PA Classics
1034 Ukrainian Nationals[/b]

And while Anbry was certainly highly ranked at 24th there were 6 ECNL Mid Atlantic teams that are ranked higher than FCV's WAGs opponents. FCV can play in the top bracket in WAGs and STILL not face stronger competition than half the conference in ECNL's Mid Atlantic Division. Loudoun faces stronger competition on a weekly basis in League play than what FCV can only get from a tournament once a year.

Steel sharpens steel and playing cup cake teams in GA week after week will dull the blade. [/quote]
