Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey also expanded the age groups to start earlier and now have a pre-ECNL. Can you say money maker? Pulled in clubs that had better teams than they did. Market to insecurities and FOMO of that ECNL badge. They never have to prove themselves against the best in the state again. They have name recognition and really that is all they need to carry them for now.
sss and NEFC top teams play in GDA
Age groups for GDA now start earlier with the NEGDL
Why is this just a Stars issue?
Stars Cup this weekend will have these teams playing each other (with the exception of SSS), along with any other “top” MA teams that wanted to enter. Also PDA, STA, World Class, SUSA....
What “top” teams in MA were excluded from this tournament? Some may have chosen not to participate.

“They never have to prove themselves against the best in the state again.” LMFAO with this quote.
Look at the ECNL lineup, both in their division and nationally. FC Stars (and Scorpions for that matter) need to “prove themselves” against PDA, Slammers, Michigan Hawks, So Cal Blues, etc.
Do you think they give a crap about “proving themselves” against the Select’s and Liverpool’s of MA? And if you are so concerned about those matchups tell those clubs to show up at the Stars Labor Day tournament.

It's like complaining that the Patriots never test themselves against the Randolph Oilers.... (look 'em up).

Using the ECNL name is basically just for a $$$ grab while they still can as it becomes more and more diluted.
That's it. Gullible parents believe it and hope it still means their daughter is special. Give the coaches something to sell.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree. White, blue, west, east, central whatever. The top 20 in an age group has become the elite 80.
Just like GDA and NPL (if you’re at NEFC or Sss) or NPL and NEP (if you’re at GPS). They re-names the NE NPL. Get over it.
