[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Virginia Union FC fell apart almost as quickly as the European Super League.  Mclean shouldn't have partnered with SYC.  They are always chasing that shiny object, going from league to league these last few years.  Vienna would have been a much better partnership on all fronts.[/quote]

How did it fall apart?[/quote]

SYC announced they got full MLSNext so their top boys will do that and won't going to ECNL.  So now on both the boys and girls sides, pretty much no one from SYC is going to join Virginia Union.  Just going to cause inconvenience to the parents having to drive down to Springfield.[/quote]

There is no reason for SYC girls to not go ECNL.[/quote]

There is also no reason from the best girls from other clubs to not try out or any reason for McLean to not just take the better girls. I'm sure a few SYC girls will make it, but there is no chance that it will be a 50/50 merger, especially with the McLean boys side getting nothing out of it [/quote]

This is just so terribly obvious that you have all made us dumber for having said it. The point of the merger is to expand a downstream player pool. The short term effect is that there are many kids at SYC who are given an early look and have right of first refusal. Kids have always been able to tryout wherever they wish to go but for SYC kids they get a possible offer and an option without lifting a finger or going anywhere. It offers a path of least resistance to stay in a familiar environment. [/quote]

unless significant numbers of SYC girls make the teams, SYC kids and parents won't view it that way and they will still try to position themselves to play in ECNL if that is the goal be it through moving to ECNL clubs early or be it though trying out everywhere they can [/quote]
