    Paranoia.
    Or because lots of people knew that USSFs plan was stupid and would fracture the current landscape even more ..... not to mention they continued taking huge additional bites when they were already choking on the men's side after 10 years of decline. I would love to see USSF go under completely and have another organization with a completely different cast of players rise up to run the show.

      So, like an "I told you so?"

      How did it fracture it? The players in GDA are all trash, right? Heard it right here on this very board.

      There's already enough ECNL teams, right? Heard it right here on this very board.

      You ECNL-types can't have it both ways. You can't come on here and disparage everything about GDA, from the organization to the club to the kids themselves; then come back and say it was stupid and fracture the landscape. Should've had zero impact, right?

      Or, more likely is the reason...paranoia.

        People in general want to be happy. So when there is someone who constantly spits negativity you just get sick of it. Strong minded people don’t constantly bash opposition so it speaks volumes about you and unfortunately what your agenda is.

          Fact: USSF had good intentions but a severely flawed execution
          Fact: As a result of ^ not every player or club in GDA should be there. It's not exactly the "best of the best" as it was sold to parents and clubs
          Fact: Several top clubs dropped out last year, more this year. The additions aren't nearly as strong as those lost
          Fact: Quality of competition varies widely in regions and across regions. In the NE it's not very good and is only getting weaker with the loss of NYCFC.

          - a GDA parent who is glad to be out of this mess after this year.

            Both these leagues marketed themselves as being for the best players but it really needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If you are paying attention at all it is clear this is big business and they are selling soccer to a certain demographic of girl with very few exceptions. It is a lot about money and a little about soccer. Frustrating situation but that is how it is.

              Fact: That's your opinion, but I never heard it presented as best of the best. A little research and more than a dose of common sense would tell you otherwise. Sounds like you were so desperate for a journey you never paid attention to the details.
              Fact: Yes. So?
              Fact: Yes, as with all leagues. But, so?

              -GDA parent who chuckles at so much angst out there.

                Sorry but the initial premise of this thread is incorrect. Eastside FC is NOT reign Academy. Prior to the start of GDA Eastside agreed to an 'alliance" to send top players to Reign academy. Reign Academy continues on as is.

                Eastside is now admitted to ECNL as a new club. If GDA added Eastside everybody on here would be commenting on "another mediocre club added to GDA".

                  Notice Eastside's list of teams and who their top teams are at the older age groups.

                  Reign's coaches and players are from Eastside. With the partnership ending, Reign's feeder system is gone. It's not going to continue "as is". The only way they will survive is to get a partnership with another youth club. The problem is that now ALL THE TOP CLUBS IN THE STATE ARE IN ECNL. It will be tough sledding for Reign to find a quality club to partner with.

                            Nah, really no rhyme or reason what gets posted where. So, thoughts on the post?

                            Don't like it? Don't click on it.
