    Facility isnt built yet

      The 02 NT player who plays for World Class ECNL is a classic example of a player who prefers to be a big fish in a small pond, and why should she care. She already has a full-ride to Rutgers, since in state tuition is low, MO getting her was a coup... NYCFC parents would
      love to have a player of that quality on their team, it would help them come GDA Playoffs, but until they realize her talent is unchallenged, she will continue to happily swim along...

        Right now the ECNL top players are as good, if not better, than the top GDA girls. This won't be the case in a few years.
        They just pick 83% of the U17s from GDA.....that seems "right out of the gate" to me!

          Girls already recruited can stay in ECNL - makes sense. The battle is for the up and coming 14yr olds.....

                That remains to be seen. Boys didn't have ECNL, girls do. Girls also don't have free to play like top BDA players do (most top male players end up at MLS clubs). Even if GDA eeks out the #1 spot it will be by a slim margin

                    No they are NOT, overall GDA players are better...

                        In 4 months they have trained the best players if their age group? Really? I can't wait until the USWNT flios because they limited their pool of talent to flex some muscle. Then we can sh!tcan the whole system and get people in that are far less vain and greedy.

                          LA Galaxy is free to play for girls right now. I also am hearing that NYCFC will be free soon for the girls as well. Over time, more GDA pro-affiliated clubs will follow. Relax. Still early in the life cycle of the league.

                            They were already in the YNT. Those players just decided to switch to GDA, if they didn't like the other 4 ECNL players they would still be on the U17 team. If USSF decided to pick less talented GDA only players than pick better talented ECNL players from their already established U17 YNT pool then that would be ballsy but this 20 out of 24 is meaningless.

                              In CT especially, ECNL much better.

                                For CT players, here is my current ranking:

                                1) NYCFC
                                2) CFC United
                                3) OW
                                4) NYSC
                                5) FSA

                                In three years, it will look like this:

                                1) NYCFC
                                2) OW
                                3) NYSC
                                4) CFC United
                                5) FSA
