I know they are just showcases but I find it interesting that NPL as well as future DA club finished ahead of the ECNL teams in the CASL tourney.

What makes you think CZ made any money from FCV?


What makes you think he didn't?


Because if it was very profitable he would still own it. Nobody sells a profitable business to take a relatively low paying job at Spirit.


Or the sale was too good to be true. The St. James has a long term vision and CZ made a fortune while retaining a very high salary as the TD over STJFCV AND getting paid from the Spirit.

I don’t think there is. DA is very insular in who they’ll play. Every once in a while they will go to a showcase and compete against ECNL teams, but other than that there’s no co-mingling. It’s part of their “meaningful competition” marketing approach. ECNL is more open to playing in big tourneys like Jeff Cup and can technically compete in open state cups, but they don’t. It’s a shame as kids get tired of playing the same teams again and again.


DA teams are very special and only play other DA teams because they might lose all of their super powers if forced to play against a team without a da patch on their jersey.

Zero.

Only possible way is if tourneys like Jeff Cup offer a bracket that complies with DA. This would mean only one game per day and at least one day of rest over three games.

There have been some small showcases where DA and ECNL teams are present but those are to random to count on.

Funny how everyone speculates so negatively for CZ, FCV, MU, etc.

Everyone must be an All Star in life with a future Wheaties star on the pitch!

I don't remember the start date, but we had friendlies in August, at least 3 I can remember, leading into the fall season.


Thanks, looking forward to it


Any time. Should be a great year with the new approach
