    No, I don't think these games will have the "subway series" effect that some folks are trying to build up. Fury *should* dominate. "On paper" they are a legitimate GDA club with a history of developing NT players, a doc who is well entrenched in the women's game as a whole and players who are actively involved in YNT programs and were formerly regarded by ODP as top regional and national players.

    LISC is a last minute, thrown together club, whose main trainer is barely licensed, has literally no record of success or development, players who never made ECNL or NPL teams in the past and are currently playing in multiple leagues and middle school and high school games in between their GDA competitions.

    Yes, I'm sure the games will be nail biters...

      Fury will win the 4 games by a combined 15+ goals.

        Best thing for all the teams involved is that these families are not investing significant time and money traveling for these games.

          Lol. It's funny cause it's true.

          Why they have two teams on the Island is just stupid. They should merge resources after this year and combine into one club under the Fury name.

            I agree there may not necessarily be a need for 2 GDA teams, especially with 2 ECNL clubs. But having said that, there still could be a far more competitive GDA team comprised of players from LI than what LISC currently has. LISC has none of those other players -- they are playing in other leagues by choice.

              FC Fury 01/02 is a good team, and they will enjoy success for the next couple of weeks, but their 1st true test will be an away game on October 7th, should be a real howler...

                There are only 2 games posted and Fury has already won both with a combined +17 goals

                  And? If anyone thought there were enough with the talent, dollars, time and available chauffeurs to have all these supposedly very high level competitive mid-long island teams, they were not paying attention.

                  Reduce some of the limiting factors and then maybe you have a better shot. Lower costs and maybe you get more kids in the mix. Less travel, maybe you get more kids in the mix. More eastern location, maybe more. Queens, maybe more.

                  Free market soccer at work and these clubs all want to go after the exact same market

                    Another dreadful weekend and I actually feel bad for all involved with this endeavor. It won't look any better after facing NYCFC this weekend either.

                    Do you think they will even complete a full season?

                      LISC, ugh

                      The LISC DA team is horrendous, they are nothing more than an average NPL club, trying to play against above average ECNL teams. USSDA should revoke their charter.

                          You think the USSF cares if they look good? Then how do you explain LI players having gda choice between the top dollar fiasco at LISC or the top top top top top top dollar, which field will it be tonight, Fury?

                            They have to keep up appearances so that all seems well in GDA-land. They won't get rid of anyone for at least two years. Doing it too soon reinforces the (correct) opinion that they chose many clubs haphazardly and in desperation

                              There is no appearance that all is well in GDA land to keep up. It would better to see some action taken if they want to appear that they give a crap.

                                The assumption will be that the most talented kids will ultimately target the few clubs to play DA. We have a 4 game sample size to look at for this league. You cannot possibly judge a league or club's success after the first quarter of the first year of its existence.
