Don’t make excuses, just deal with it.


ECNL is the past.

MLS is now and the future, just deal with it.

Has your DS started the recruiting process? Most boys, even MLS next, are not getting recruited. They want the young men from overseas.


More than 50% of collegiate soccer rosters are euro boys. Competition is ruthless. You are better prepared by MLSNext training, not ECNL.


It's a significant representation, but over 50% is a wee bit exaggeration
it actually is approaching 50%. Of the mens final 4 only denver had more starting 11 that were from US. Vermont and OSU majority starters are from out of country.

That’s why SYC lost 11-0? Because they are resting commits?


include syc 2010 lost all matches, what an embarrassment for local mls next

Lot of butthurt ECNL dads in here. MLSN > ECNL. Doesn't matter if every ECNL teams beat every MLSN teams. MLSNext is the top league in the US. Sorry.

“ If you didn't falsely prop-up ecnl to be actually elite in your mind, it wouldn't be so difficult to accept the league of the professional club academies is the superior top tier league in this country.

If a minor league baseball team beats the Red Sox in preseason preparation, does that mean Major League Baseball isn't the superior league?”

Could you ever, in your little brain, ever imagine that maybe the ECNL teams alto play their backups and play people out of position when they are playing against an MLS team. And then imagine that even though the ECNL is also not taking the game seriously, they could still beat an MLS team. Cuz that is what is actually happening.

I have no hat, ENCL or otherwise, in this argument, my take is that the MLS academies are generally free and attract the kids with the talent and desire to go pro, plus kids on the bubble who serve as fodder to make sure there are other kids to play with. They do seriously not care that much about winning or losing in the younger age groups. Really!

Then, because the country is huge and spread out and you can't fly to everything all the time they put together a league. In the league are the clubs that bear the badge but aren't academies and who do, desperately, care about winning.

That’s the score. The mighty MLSNext lost by 11 goals to the weak ECNL.


Are you in denial that MLS Next is the top and superior boys league in the country?

Why is that so hard to accept? Every country has league tiers.
Its no big deal.


11-0


If the score in that game was 31:0 it doesn't change the fact that the MLS Next is the top tier boys league in the country.
