That’s the score. The mighty MLSNext lost by 11 goals to the weak ECNL.


Are you in denial that MLS Next is the top and superior boys league in the country?

Why is that so hard to accept? Every country has league tiers.
Its no big deal.


The MLS academies represent the best found talent in the country willing to pursue a pro pathway. Their programs are not designed to win tournaments but instead to actually develop players that they can sell for a profit later on. This concept is wholly alien to the rest of the leagues and even to the non-academy MLSN teams.

Don’t make excuses, just deal with it.


ECNL is the past.

MLS is now and the future, just deal with it.

Has your DS started the recruiting process? Most boys, even MLS next, are not getting recruited. They want the young men from overseas.


It's not young men, it's 22+ yr old academy washed out men that, correctly, have given up their pro dreams to pursue an education.

You might have a couple of super stars and a couple struggling but once you get to U15 and up...first team players didn't get there by showing up last week.


I guess it could be a test of team depth although the rotations are not normal.

Ok, the part about u-littles is a misstatement on my part, but the question still stands...has anyone been to a showcase where the starters got most of the minutes and there players who sat on the bench the whole game?

I've never seen a January pre-season showcase where the real coaches aren't rotating, mixing and matching players and positions to figure out things for the upcoming season
