Really? Go back to flipping hamburgers because your math sucks. And I didn't need to take off my socks to count on my toes either.

Arlington 25-25-10

6-4-0 (05/06s)
2-6-2 (07s)
2-6-2 (08s)
3-6-1 (09s)
3-2-5 (10s)
9-1-0 (11s)

Someone spreading fake news afraid of losing players to BRAVE.

Alright, let's play your game.

Let's pull out our rulers and measure ourselves.

Last year was bad for BRAVE; this year is better. And next year, who knows. But if you are thinking BRAVE should be kicked out because their boys aren't good enough, then I guess UNION and Skyline should also be thrown out and NVA should be put on probation. In fact Union, which is basically just the old McLean ECNL, has been around for years and even picked up players from SYC and they still are not that much better than BRAVE and worse at some age groups.

Arlington and VDA are good clubs; past, present and future. They have a track record of advancing boys to the next level for years.

BRAVE has been around for 1.5 years. They just hired Bill Hamid for a goalie coach, which I’m sure is going to pull in some goalie talent. They are trending upwards in wins and have been steadily improving the quality of their boys play over the last couple of years.

NVA “created a partnership” with Valor and GFR, but this was a bust and basically just picked up a few players at some age groups. Of course, there is the rumor that they are going to MLS Next, which would mean a middle of the road ECNL club becomes a bottom of the table club in MLS Next. Good Luck with that!

As I mentioned before, Union has been around for years as McLean ECNL and their record is basically the same as BRAVE. They tried a partnership with SYC, which fell apart because of the distance between the teams and the fact that Union didn't want to play the SYC players. And now, based on rumors, Union is going to try a partnership with GFR and pick up a player or two that NVA didn’t want. Their future is about the same as it is now, which is the lower end of the table.


W L D
Arlington 33 25 18
VDA 32 15 13
NVA 24 23 14
Union 19 33 8
BRAVE 16 44 6
Skyline 15 25 7



Not sure where you're pulling these numbers from. Based on the combined current ECNL standings for all age groups,

Arllngton 25-25-10; 42% winning percentage
VDA 32-24-10; 48% winning percentage
NVA 42-21-13; 55% winning percentage
Union 28-15-15; 48% winning percentage
Brave 22-42-7; 31% winning percentage

Out of curiosity, when was the last time ECNL revoked anyone’s status at all? Has it happened to any Virginia teams?

Ecnl would never take away a club that has boys right now. They need every team they can get. So no this is not a thing.
