My daughters team was added last minute to the Philadelphia International Cup which seems to be run by the same people. Guess it's just a glorified series of friendlies since we're playing our own RL team in the group of 4. Are the girls just a complete afterthought for this?

On the boys side, it looks like ECNL is doing better than the MLSN clubs. Certainly for the DMV area teams.

MLS Next did it to themselves. All the 2 teams get the patch and the name.

Feel sorry for the real Next players as it will be much harder to distinguish when they get to college recruiting and the poor coaches will have 2x the number of players saying they play MLS Next…they should have named it different to preserve brand for the more elite players


If you don’t think college recruiters don’t know the difference then you are dumb.


If only I knew with my older kid that all I had to do was have him say he played in an elite level south American league to get recruited
Since college coaches just take the kids word for it


What are you babbling about? All I hear are sad, jealous little ECNL man-boys posting about patches and realizing they’ve bet on te wrong horse. The smart play is MLSNext. ECNL craters in 5 years.
.

Sad, jealous little man-boys you say? MLSN is the new NCSL. You want an MLSN team? Everybody gets an MLSN team- EVERYONE. Quality matters not. It is now a weak league anyone can join. If you are not in the Academy, then you are just an NCSL team funding the academy team. Chase that badge and join the the multitudes. How many MLSN teams in N VA now? 7. (McLean, LS, Alex, Rev, NVA) you think anyone is jealous they are not in that club? Give it two years and everyone will realize they don’t want to be in that club. The smart ones have already figured it out.


You know you’re a pathetic ECNL parent when you talk “patches”.

Doesn’t sound like you could say what was wrong, you just didn’t like it.

These are not good teams. That is because you are not tier 1, tier 1 is academy, so stop trying to separate yourself from tier 2. You are closer to tier 2 than academy. 7 teams in N VA. None of them Academy. You are NCSL. Soon everyone will realize the MLSN hoax for what it is, a race to the bottom, except academy.


Sure, whatever you need to believe to deal with your insecurities.

ECNL has been NCSL for a while. Also Alex and NVA are the only MLSNext clubs. Stop conflating the two tiers for your idiotic points.

This is hilarious

MLS Next is a different league and schedule than MLS Next 2

MLS Next will play in separate tournaments than MLS Next 2

College coaches are in contact with individual players, not leagues.
They won't be confused about the players they are recruiting


Not so sure - people (coaches) are pretty stupid

they are not getting the same patch, are they? almost all team jerseys don't even have MLSN patch when ordered.


It is not about the patch. College coaches don’t care about patches. Once you are in the field, they know who has it and who does not. A player could be in MLS Next but does not have it and vice versa. Patches are irrelevant unless you want to brag about them in Insta. Same goes for the girls too.
