That was a fluke and not a common thing. Enjoy in the glory for what it's worth cause it doesn't happen often if at all.


Might be a fluke in the bigger picture, but around here it's becoming common.

I would definitely enjoy winning 11-0 over a mighty MLSNext team.

Hahahaha - Kickball Thugs and Futsal Nerds? Get real. Just go with whichever club is closest to you to beat Nova traffic. MLS Next or ECNL, all the clubs are completely identical in three key aspects. (1) They will take a lot of money from you. (2) They will make you waste weeknights and weekends driving everywhere. (3) They will guarantee that your kid NEVER plays pro soccer because none of them care to develop players. It’s pay to play - financial incentives simply are not there to expend the extra time and effort to do more than pretend to care about your kid. And let’s not get delusional about college soccer either; these days they are mostly foreign players and there are very few slots for American boys. So it matters not one whit which mediocre club your son plays for because he is not getting a college scholarship. This MLSN vs ECNL debate is very silly. Only people who care are the MLSN staffers and their trolls trying to take market share from ECNL. Why don’t we just merge all the leagues again to stop all this nonsense?


correct we fighting for potential left over spots in college without scholarship. really desperate down here.

Meh, non-Academies and ECNL teams are about the same. No issues with my player being on either league (currently MLSN).

Because this is a war. Nobody wants to concede or meet in the middle and do what's best, egos are at stake.

U19 is college and professional age for the better players. Already left MLS Next.

U19s are a mixed bag of remaining players for any club i
