Originally posted by Unregistered View PostKaz did extend an open invitation to one of them and the other would have no problem landing a starting roster spot. Just not worth the travel to be on a big fish team in the small pond of the lackluster NE GDA.
Now if NYCFC could compete against teams more than 2 teams outside of those that Manhattan routinely beat in NPL, it might be worth the trip. Until then, that hour+ commute both ways is better spent on schoolwork.
Thanks Doggie Dad!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBarca practices are starting to look like a SUSA parent meeting lately. Larry's campaign of hate and lies isn't working. Word is spreading and people are coming to see things for themselves, and I've yet to hear anyone say that they weren't impressed. Once official tryouts are announced, it's going to look like Walmart on Black Friday there. I have nothing against SUSA, but the training at Barca is on a whole different level. With girls teams coming soon and Barca's facility starting to make some progress, SUSA will have to scale back their aspirations for expansion or they're going to risk growing too large to be supported by the diminishing player pool. This may be a hard pill for SUSA to swallow because they were poised to take over LI before Barca showed up, but if their ego gets in the way and they don't adjust their plans, they're going to find themselves in trouble.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOk. Barca is for girls. If you want to watch the girls always be second fiddle at the club then sure.
I'm sure the boys sitting on the bench watching their girl teammates play are happy those girls are "second fiddle"!
And then theirs this of course.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGirls are already playing on the boys teams at Barca. That's PLAYING in league games, not just training. I've never seen that at SUSA. Not saying it doesn't happen, i've just never seen it.

Unfortunately, the only women's sports that market well is tennis and a few of the Olympic disciplines. No way at all knocking the competitors but the financial viability of these leagues has not been good. God Bless Barca for entering the market but long term feasibility is slim.

Then you have the Paul Riley effect, good luck trying to land another GDA or ECNL badge, lol. That's the only draw on the girls side and until PR decides to up and leave LI entirely, his club(s) will continue to reign supreme.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMuch harder to set up a girls program on LI than to set up boys. 2 GDAs, 2 ECNLs and a landscape where college is king. As long as the former ISA folks stick around at Susa (I.E.-Ron & Sue Alber, Nir Sveri and Tim Hearney) girls won't be flocking to an unknown entity with no college placement record or evident relationships with coaches...going from one NPL club to the other, just because? Won't happen
