People can sell the "training", "committment" and all that other jazz all they want, but when the quality of the play is mostly mediocre, you don't really have a leg to stand on. ECNL has been at this for almost 10 years now, dominating the landscape as "the best". Their marketing and event planning is really to be admired and this league is their only focus. USSF, in its current state, can't possibly compete. They ignored the girls side for decades and still sh!t all over the women's game. Take a look at some of the NT rosters, wher less than 50% are GDA players. Even they don't believe in their own product...

lets look at the AS teams. Forget your subjective 5/20 stuff. In the NE, those teams do not contain the regions best players at U14/15/16/17/18/19 Why not?

do you not wonder why so may seem against seeing what happens if you give kids who want it a chance to focus year round ?

Its fine that some Clubs do not want to stay the course, but unlike you, some see it for what it is.

Take off your GDA glasses and you will see what it is as well. It's crystal clear for anyone without a monetary gain at stake.

Originally posted by Unregisteredits got nothing to do with GDA glasses, just facts. Stars were terrible in the GDA. you want to associate with the best Clubs in the land, but those Clubs were able to be a lot better in both leagues. You are not the powerhouse you think you are. Good Club, sure, but one of many good Clubs.
