Nice use of cool buzz words. So fetch
08 is little kid soccer. It’s not Passive/aggressive. It’s fact. It meaningless so stop trying to make points from it. It’s all going to change.
There is a debate whether you like it or not. We all know things change however, the debate is and will continue to be which league is better no matter what the age group. Through facts, currently the debate is very clear that ECNL holds the upper hand. It is the posters that come in and act like GA is superior without any points or data to back it up. It's no different than someone coming in and claiming NCAA D2 has better teams than NCAA D1 or that the Horizon League is better than the ACC.
Debating which teams are better than each other in the DMV is totally different debate than ECNL vs GA. Those debates are much more fun since results can not be generalized vs. ECNL/GA.
Yes, little girls soccer. Things change. While your opinion says who cares, 1000s of others do. That is why you have a site such as YouthSoccerRankings.com
In little kid soccer, one or two players are so impactful that they can change the outcome of any game. Some players are impactful because they are physically, technically or cognitively superior to their counterparts. After puberty, all
this is neutralized.
For example - A youth girls team can beat a youth boys team. This is almost never the case after puberty.
I don’t know any 08 players but can guarantee you there is alway one or two that carry the team and if they left the team collapses.
My point is not to put too much stock in it.

GA results:
9 09 GA teams went 6-21 #GA RISING
08’s had 6 GA teams that went a combined 3-15. #GA RISING
FCV went winless in the second bracket and their ticket to ECNL partner Villarreal went winless in the last bracket.
ECNL results:
08, 4 ECNL teams played and had a combined record of 7-5.
09 ECNL. 4 teams went a combined 9-3
Meanwhile in the 3 showcase age groups ECNL clubs thought so much of WAGS that a total of one team bothered to even play in WAGS.
ECNL 16-8 to GA’s 9-36
ECNL was under represented at WAGS with zero division leaders and all middle to lower of the pack teams and yet still combined for a winning record.

Question. Why do so many posters care about GA v. ECNL? As parents why do you care?

Don’t believe this. It’s actually the opposite. They got lucky against TFA and parked the bus in the final vs ANBRY for the whole second half. They also tied FC Bucks, a team rated lower than Bethesda, Pipeline, and MD United. I’ll give them STA. Those are the facts. It actually is underwhelming.
Parking the bus is a valid tactic. Look it up. I’ll take your input when you actually know something about soccer.
Yes, but previous poster mentioned dominated WAGS. You don’t park the bus if you are dominating. You park the bus when you obtain a lead against a team that you know is better. It was a great coaching decision, I agree.
Really just wanted to point out FCV did not dominate in any of its games. All were quality wins and a tie for them but let’s not blow things out of proportion. What they did was show they belong on the conversation with VDA and Arlington.
Second bracket in wags was just as good as the first. I’m not trying to take anything away from FCV. It’s just a fact.
They don't belong in the conversation with Arlington. Arlington would dominate both FCV and VDA. FCV would park the bus and hope to ride its luck. VDA will probably try to find an excuse to cancel the game.
Park the bus is a key tactic in soccer. You have not ideal what you’re talking about. A win is a win and no one every says, well they parked the bus. Second bracket is garbage. Losers. Not even worth discussing as no college coach would waste their time at a second bracket game.
Second tier leagues are garbage and college coaches won’t waste their time watching them. The reality is, WAGS, at showcasing ages is not much of a showcase. Jeff Cup is not much of a draw either.
GA had a miserable showing at WAGS and that is the reality of the league. FCV can enjoy its brief moment but once league games start back up again nobody will care how they do against teams in a league who won 1 game out of 4 other represented teams at WAGS. 2 tourney wins off you count Metro at Discovery Cup. FCV might as well have been a lucky CCL team for all it matters when it matters. They won a medal, next year there are no more medals, just showcases and one league puts on better, more attended showcases than the other. I’m sure all the coaches will ask about your “top bracket WAGS win” in 3 years.
Enjoy your “challenging games” against Sporting Delaware, Metro, Celtic or whatever crap team nobody cares about you play next week. Everyone looks forward to hearing from you again for the last time at Jeff Cup this spring and after that nobody will care about you or your GA league or showcases.
Enjoy your 2nd bracket loss.
