[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone here knows there is zero actual link between MLS Next and GA right?[/quote]

Correct.

But rule is that generally teams that have MLS Next are told to put their girls in GA.

[/quote]

Rule based on?  There are plenty of GA clubs with ECNL Boys, also plenty with MLS Next.  I know there is a push from ECNL to flip boys out of MLS Next, but there are zero cases (so far ill admit) of any ECNL club flipping to GA...not a single one in 4 years.

People can claims ifs, and buts all they want but there just isn't a precedent, and how as a club do you force your girls into a league thats losing its top clubs every year to ECNL?[/quote]

As it stands no girls ECNL teams have jumped to GA, they have no reason to.

Teams that have girls in ECNL and boys in mls next are probably going to keep girls in ECNL because ECNL would rather not lose both.

ECNL has bent their own rules to allow this to happen.

[b]What will most likely happen is that now, under US Soccer, GA teams will have access to better resources[/b] (ynt/nswl) and ECNL clubs will have to decide whether it’s best for them to stay in ECNL or jump to mls next/ga platform.[/quote]

When US Soccer ran DA, their own league they provided NOTHING to the clubs.

MLSNext exists because the MLS Academies were planning to leave DA because US Soccer had lots of demands and requirements but provided zero resources.

It is part of the reason DA folded.

I don’t know what US Soccer’s plan is now but I wouldn’t count on GA being the one stop shop for US Soccer. Hell, even with DA US Soccer was still recruiting heavily from ECNL and US Scouts are still all over ECNL sidelines.

I’d pump the breaks in drawing any lofty conclusions. [/quote]

All over? Or just at the known clubs lol[/quote]
