Bethesda and McLean would give FCV a good match (especially Bethesda). Richmond plays a very nice brand of soccer, similar to FCV, but does not have the athleticism FCV has up front (which is also why they lost to McLean twice this fall). Loudoun, VDA, and MU have no chance against FCV.

Anyhow, that's my take on what I've seen.

SC came in 2nd to the Heat which finished in the finals. SC also beat FC Stars, which was finished 2nd in the NE division behind PDA. Mclean finished dead last in its division but only lost ine game and played two teams to a draw, including the Scorpions, another top team from the NE. VDA looked the worst with loses to the Hawks and D'feeters.

The MA is not the strongest divisions but the teams from that division can compete.

Kevin Layton is the coach and his track record rivals that of any youth coach in the country. Bethesda will qualify thi's year as it will finish near the top of one of the toughest divisions in ECNL.

FCV is dominating and league play and one of its players is at the 05 YNT camp.

McLean was at the bottom of MA two years ago and last year finished in 2nd place. They are on shot of 2nd place again and will likely improve on last year's performance.

Pipeline played in the nationals two years in a row. I don't believe the team has ever lost to an ECNL team and has beaten teuams that are now in DA and dominating including FCV.

Stop showing your stupidity. These are teams that should get better. Why you feel the need to tear them down is beyond me?

Excluding DA/ECNL I would say SYA, Herndon, SYC, and NVSC--all are highly competitive and have had some great results. Herndon and SYC have other strong teams, although that's not to say SYA and NVSC aren't successful. So long as you are playing at a club you want to, you've made the right choice. If your route is D1 soccer, there's more to it than just the club developing the player.

Bryc has not won an ecnl game in 2 years. No fcv or vda? I think Sya and NVSC lost are least 5-0 to fcv, McLean, vda.

Not true - BRYC 05 won 3 ECNL games last year...beat Wilmington, Loudoun and Carolina Rapids. Yes, they're dead last in the ECNL conference standings, but they haven't lost ALL their ECNL games in the past two years.

They will beat VDA this Sunday. Book it.

So who won? BRYC or VDA?

Meaning?

Tying Richmond is a good game but will bryc 05 win a game this year?

Sigh. VDA 3-2.

That isn't too bad. BRYC is getting better.

AND VDA is getting worse!

Bryc is like Metro United now. That’s nice.

Meaning?

Celebrating ties and close score lines.

Pipeline v. FCV. Now that HS soccer has started I doubt we’ll ever see the Pipeline 05 team of old.

We make fun of FCV cuz their parents take it so seriously and they are so easy to rile up. Same with MU.

No one really makes fun of the players. Instead it is the coaches and some of the nutty parents.

People on here bash several good teams and coaches. Some of it completely made up.

Lots of nutty parents on here.
