Among MLS Next teams in area (other than DCU), only the following are ranked higher in each group

05/06: Bethesda, Armour (barely)

07: Nobody

08: Armour

09: SYC, Bethesda, Armour

10: SYC, Bethesda, Armour

011: SYC (barely)

So Armour is ahead in 4/6, Bethesda and SYC are ahead in 3/6. I'd say that's pretty solid.

Ha they will never be the best because they don't have any direction and can't get out of their own way. A too big to fail mentality.

Loudoun is not afraid to jump ship. They have done it 2x before and everyone else followed.


I would love to see Loudoun playing with MLS Next and GA next year.

Why would Loudoun leave ECNL for GA? Or more to the point, why would you love for Loudoun to join GA?

Because they care a lot more about the boys programs than the girls....(hint: follow the money).

This is an outdated take. Maybe applied in 2019.

A lot of people just don’t want to acknowledging how bad the Alexandria MLS teams currently are. Cant blame them. Hopefully the future is better for that club.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all honestly think LS has the talent pool to be competitive in MLS Next? Let alone field the talent for SECOND TEAM to play ecnl first teams?

Have you followed the younger ages against mlsnext clubs (younger teams)? Ls would be the west Virginia of MLS next (hopefully west Virginia gets better next year).

Sounds great for $$ but probably not the best choice.

Loudoun would be on same level as Alexandria and Achilles.[/quote]


Um. No. Alexandria two thousand eleven have the number one team in the middle of atlanti MLS next.

Achilles is not one to loo up to for mls next, they tend to be towards the bottom.[/quote]

Meant Mid-Atlantic region[/quote]

You don't count the U14's and U15's etc as being part of Alexandria?

U13's on 11v11 big field is not the greatest measuring stick. A few early bloomers with physical superiority pre-puberty and you can rack up W's

They have done it before, so definitely wouldnt be surprised for them to make big moves to get MLS Next.

Such a soup of leagues - NAL, RAL (brand new!), NPL - in that second/third tier.

yeah, risk the girls program for the sake of the boys. sound great.

My daughter is still young and we are still learning this process, but it certainly seems like a lot of clubs do this. Is there any club that wants to focus on girls?

That used to be FCV which was girls only for a time but we see where that is headed

FCV fields boys teams also but correct that the GA program was dedicated towards girls only. GA in general is girls focused but with the FCV GA program in doubt for 24/25 who knows if there will even be a quality GA program here any longer.
