So here's the list of the top national DA teams that currently have not been accepted into ECNL, based on the stupid Soccer Wire rankings. Let's take a quick poll of who from this list will get accepted for ECNL:

1. Top Hat (GA)
5. FC Dallas (TX)
8. Legends (CA)
9. Beach (CA)
10. SJ Earthquakes (CA)
16. FC Virginia (VA)
25. NEFC (MA)
26. Sporting Blue Valley (KS)
28. Cincinnati DA (OH)
29. Lonestar (TX)
32. South Shore Select (MA)
35. LA Galaxy (CA)
37. Nationals (MI)

This brings the mid-Atlantic number of teams per age group to 13. Would make sense to add one more from NOVA, then have a North South division. Basically NC/SC (South) and NOVA/Richmond (North)


Would make even more sense to bring in three northern clubs to make 8 for VA and 8 for NC,SC,GA. And also a lot more $$$ and everyone wins.

This is not happening. You can keep hoping it happens, but, at this point, it is like hoping that US Soccer changes it mind and brings back DA.


You said no more clubs will be added. That didn’t even make it till close of business.


I never said that. I have always said that ECNL would add a couple more teams. Tophat much more likely to get a spot than FCV. Much better program, and helps the SE conference.

There is a reason FCV is staying silent on ECNL. They are not getting it.


I’m sure Tophat is silent too. Yet Charlotte, CHARLOTTE got in before Tophat.

This is more about determining divisions now.


A-F-I-N-E-P-I-G


Yes he is one fine pig. But he is no Wilbur. He won’t be saved from the FCV slaughter come tryouts.

Amen. Also stands to reason that of the DA players that might compete to get on an ECNL team, it might not be the ones those parents think -- per PP comment, there are a lot of "top" players who aren't top -- they are just favorites and do get better through being given the opportunity. Maybe fresh eyes benefits the ones who weren't given those chances, and don't have prima donna complexes but just want to be a solid part of a good team.


In this area, DA doesn't equal "top" players for many of the teams due to dillusion. Some teams/some age groups.some players sure, but just because they are on a DA doesn't automatically mean they are elite (and same can be said for the ECNL teams). Too many "top" teams, so the consolidation is what this area desperately needed....


top 15 players on FCV teams 05 and older would start on any Ecnl team in the area except for BRYC 03 and McLean 01/02 - and even those two teams would have room for multiple fcv starters.

Take the top 6 players at FCV and plug them with any of the Top 6 players within the ECNL and you have one powerful team. Except at BRYC any team younger then that 03 team is awful!


So should we expect FCV's top players leaving the club for various ECNL programs? With the demise of DA, ECNL is by far the best platform for college recruitment.
That would be a YES. Making moves already.


Important to note here that this is a two way street with ecnl staff reaching out to DA players.

-Signed, the parent of the mediocre DA kid



Try again with that top 15, It’s a nice thought though. I will give you this, it does all depends which age group as well as which club. Truly, except for the 03 FCV team all other teams are subpar. Here is a crazy idea, pair your standouts at FCV with the ECNL kids that keep the teams competitive and you have one hell of a team. Who’s the top ECNL team at the 04, 05 and 06 level in the DMV? Ask yourself why? Then ask what you could do to make that team even better. Plug up the holes with the top players from FCV and you no longer have a team that win you have a team that dominates the top platforms within the ECNL because the teams aren’t watered down anymore. There’s a reason why as good as the front line is on the 04FCV team they aren’t winning everything at the top levels. Same goes for 05’s and 06’s however you take the top 06FCV kids and pair them with the top players at VDA and then you have top talent representing you and dominating without weak players on the bench. I am sure the one FCV dad thumping his chest will try to say, but, but, but we are winning. Listen your conference was watered down crap and beating Metro 10-0 isn’t awesome it’s expected. Top 15 will not get spots on the Top ECNL teams in the DMV that will be reserved for your starting 6-7. Keep hope alive though.


05 (FCV) would beat any 05 ECNL team in this area by 5 goals. 04(FCV) would beat any 04 ecnl team in this area by five goals. 03 (FCV) would have tough games against Braddock Road and maybe McLean. 01 (FCV) would be a great game against McLean 01 and throttle any other 01 ECNL team in the area by eight goals.


04FCV lost to the SAME teams the 04ECNL teams beat... try again. Keep on smoking the pipe. Shit VDA 04 tried to play against that team for awhile, no one would let that happen. Why? So that the team could say look at us we are the best! Without playing everyone in the area to prove that. I will say FCV04 top 6-7 starting are talented as F*** and they will be able to go anywhere and start but they also have weak players that were politically protected, that won’t have that covering in the “real world”. FCV also Played in a very weak conference helping with those big scoring games. Blow out games like that shows the lack of competition and that doesn’t happen in ECNL. Welcome to the big leagues. BTW you couldn’t even beat the MD ECNL team lol shut up!


What team did 04 FCV lose to that 04 ecnl beat? And are you really saying mid Atlantic ecnl 04 is strong? Lmao. Speaking of 04 team - top 15 players would all make any ecnl team in northern Virginia and probably be 90% of starting lineup. Every single 04 ecnl team. Welcome to big leagues? You should be welcoming FCV into ecnl. You don’t need their players. You’re already big league. Lmao.

Are there any top players left at FCV? It's been almost 3 days. I'm sure most of them have found a new home by now.

The reality is that you don't know.

The idea of adding three more teams to make an 8 team N. Mid Atl conference and and 8 team S M Atl conference is compelling, and makes for a nice, even number.


It also makes travel easier. And here I thought travel was enemy number one. How many people bitch and moan “there is enough talent in the area not to need to drive 4 hours for a game”.

Now that it is within reach people get all protective of their bubble.

And you were the person last week insisting that the DA's impending termination was just rumors.
