Not because of the pro team affiliation as such. Because in effect the DA teams were a source of income for the pro team, as many on this board suspected and suggested. It was with the "free"/not free tickets, the large rosters, paying to watch the pro team practice ($500 by the way). With all of those gone, MU is free to shrink the rosters, which was the main cause of the playing up because we had to "pack in" as many as possible.
So yeah, I believe it.
Free to shrink rosters sure. And drawing quality talent from where all the sudden?
There are players at the ID sessions. However, MU already has a talent pool to draw from. It was watered down with the extra players and the players that shouldn't have been playing up.

The Spirit cheerleaders just became the Metro cheerleader while saying things about Spirit that they hated to hear when everyone else was saying it about Spirit.
Cant make this stuff up. People will change with the wind.
And you’re still the WSVA troll. Some a-holes never change.

I was the curious one whose kid has a spot elsewhere but we are curious. Easy commute also. Thanks to the Internet world. We would never have had this amount of information. Are there other soccer sites where people chat?
She is amazing? Definitely wouldn’t go that far. She’s got a good head for the game but is too small with not enough physical strength to compete at 05 or higher.

I can’t imagine the ft girls will want them around... it’s just competition. Of course, MU doesn’t have a second team so they’ll need these extra girls just for scrimmaging I guess.
No playing tine and you have to play at great fall reston on some crap team and pay your regular travel soccer expenses. That sounds ridiculous... these people must be desperate. Nice way to build your daughters confidence!
I’m wondering the same thing. What exactly is so exciting about this move? Spirit bailed and left this in gf hands, and now everyone is supposedly coming out of the woodwork? I don’t buy it, I feel bad for the younger teams as they were already pummeled this year and what will be different for next ?
It's not GF, it's the Spirit coaches without the old direction to add players to overfill rosters. They are being more selective about players who are accepted and many are not returning. It's a fresh start. All teams can use it, not just the youngest ones. Thanks for your "concern."

I don’t understand what metro United is? Is this a company or a partnership or just some coaches? Have they ever run anything or managed a business before? Who are these Metro Men / People?

That may not be comfortable to ask. Everybody is different in their comfort level in talking to coaches. Most clubs take the drama and guess-work out of it by letting the team know its roster.
Chill out, the offers haven’t even expired.
The rooting is still obvious
+1. You aren't hiding something if you don't yet have it to hide.
