no doubt every league is diluted now, but interested which league you think has the highest concentration of talent?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGood points. Are you sure that the Regional Teams will be bound to specific National teams (1-3; 2-4)? My understanding is that a player from either ECNL Regional team could guest play on either ECNL National team?

Problem is with crazy parents. Just let your kid play. If they are really good they will land on a good team with a good coach and will be recruited and play in college. If they aren’t then they aren’t. Get over yourselves with thinking you can do everything better and downing families for making their own decisions and for clubs growing and leagues changing and adding divisions.
Too many cooks.
Learn to shut your mouth.
Don’t tell me how good your kid is since I can decide for myself.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNEP NPL is far above NE NPL and will also be higher than ECNLR ...... many NEP NPL teams will be on par with ECNL B teams (even though there wont be many of these). ECNLR (current NE NPL) is just plain terrible and there is no way to sugar coat that. NE NPL next year, if it continues, will be even worse.
Only SSS is any good in NEP NPL. One team. Maybe Bayside in a few age groups. GPS Red? Joke. Seacoast NPL? Joke. Oakwood, NEFC, Aztecs, Yankee? Such a joke. Those teams would not compete with most Northeast NPL teams.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI’m not a cynic in general but I don’t see this as watering down. There are more kids playing and paying for higher level soccer. This is good or bad depending on your opinion. So now you have 100 kids instead of 36 playing for a club. They are getting better training early on and clubs attracting more and more kids. There were always leagues and divisions that created a hierarchy and now they are all just rebranded with different letters.

Now many of the better GDA clubs have or will be returning to ECNL. Supposedly Real Colorado is out and a few others will announce after the showcase. USSF's response is to add more weak clubs to fill geographic holes. So more upheaval and uncertainty for players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postand what is to blame for that? Mostly GDA. ECNL didn't create this watered down mess. Yes ECNl has flaws and improvement is necessary, but they didn't create another massive national league that was unnecessarily too large for what it was trying to accomplish.
