Agreed. It was only a matter of time. Came quicker than I thought. Covid?

Just looked up this 08 team on GotSoccer. How did they go from 6th place in their EDP league last spring to 1st place in their USYS league in the fall? Must have added a stud.

Understand the ECNL requirements, but they are not fair to clubs like Torpedoes who do not have grossly privileged advantages that a club like PDA does. PDA has 3 teams in the top level ECNL and across all branches likely 6-7 teams in each age group. No other ECNL team even comes close to this monopoly. My point is if you’re a good team you should have a chance to compete. As you’ve seen this weekend the Torpedoes team can compete with ECNL teams. But they will never be allowed in that league. Why? Business, protecting the old mighty dollar.

I'm not sure what normal individual would brag about this.
