It's creepy to know where our teams are in the standings of a sport that we dedicate 20 hours a week toward? Because to know that West Virginia is getting throttled every time out is just merely checking the scores and maybe chatting with the people we know on that team and others. It's a small community - like it or not.

Yet here you are clicking your heals, wishing to be in MLSNext. Troll away, sport.


I'm the person who wrote the above, and my son actually DOES play in MLS Next. Just able to call things objectively, sport.


You’re in MLSNext and you think all losing teams should get the axe? So your standard for player development is wins v losses?

Do you really believe the individual players on those teams are not good at all? That they’re not being developed?

When your DS has played them, was it not competitive at all?


I said two teams do not belong in the league. It's not a matter of wins and losses. It's a waste of resources for a team like the Red Bulls to travel to DC or West Virginia and have a 13-0 match. It serves nobody. You can go 2-20, and that's fine. But most of your games need to be competitive. When you are not providing competition for other teams, you need to move on. NYRB stopped playing WV on age (played their kids up a year) and still spanked the two WV teams. What is wrong with EDP for West Virginia? How did they get accepted to the league? It's a slippery slope to allow clubs like that in...and "club" would be a generous term.


Kinda creepy a NY Red Bull parent is trolling here. Oh wait, but you’re probably not and you think your kid is the next Messi. Got it.


Meh, not that creepy. You do realize there are kids from MD/VA that play on Red Bull and Philly Union.


Yes, about 53 of them, right?

Frankly, it’s all creepy and unnerving that some parents pay this close attention.

MLSNext in the DMV is already such a small world (many boys having played against each other in the earlier years) and it’s a bit disturbing that there are so many strong opinions about these boys and their families’ choices from god knows who.

Unless your are Phili Union or New York Red Bulls, lay off the crack pipe.
