My take from the weekend is that on the boys' side, the DMV teams, both ECNL and MLSN, outside of Arlington and SYC were pretty underwhelming. Dilution is real.


i smell consolidation or downgrades in the future. But then again MLsN isnt all
About winning. But how you win.


Do you all deduce take that much from a preseason tournament? Anyone watch a U13 or U14 game to see if any of the teams would score well on quality of play?

Well run tournament, and the officiating was good. Ashburn is creepy af though.

DC's new team struggled and an injury stuck him in a new position for the whole weekend. Drama ensuing, from our poor showing.

From U14 to U19, Bethesda boys didn't lose a single match. 9-1-0

i see the same… which is interesting


Arlington U19 ECNL beating TSJ 1-0 isn’t the flex you think it is.


Ok but they also beat NYSC MLS next pretty convincingly too.

Not one VRSC team in a showcase held in their backyard. Crazy.


Not crazy. Their own tournament is next weekend. Why would you do back to back?


Already addressed. Plenty of teams went back to back. Between Loudoun Cup last week and OBGC Capital Cup you had multiple teams from Coppermine, Mclean, SYC, Alexandria, Bethesda, Loudoun etc. going back to back.

Iron sharpens iron.


Well and you could choose to play as minimum as 2 games.

In the U16 (2010) age group, MLSN had a strong edge against ECNL clubs.

Games seem to be competitive for majority of games. Looks like there are a few teams that you wonder what they are doing there.
