ECNL and GA club changes - official announcements

[Guest]

They are suddenly accepted because they have proven they are good enough. Previously they were rejected because they weren’t good enough. It’s called evolution. Nothing stays the same.

[Guest]

That is a fact in your mind. What is a fact is that ECNL have further diminished and diluted the league by admitting clubs they have previously rejected over and over. What made ECNL all of a sudden bring them in? This parent now thinks there kid is better because there club has been admitted. You remind me of all those parents whose daughter was one of the top players on their GA teams and then move to a top rated ECNL team. It took awhile for most of these GA players to get adjusted to the speed of play. Some did okay and some never played at the higher level. They went from scoring 1-2 goals a match to going weeks without scoring a single goal. Some adjusted and some just quit playing soccer. These GA players realized they just weren’t as good as they or their parents thought. Anyone who thinks college coaches do not know the difference between the top tier ECNL teams and then the rest are in denial.

Diminished and diluted by added 5 of the top 9 GA clubs in the country?? I know GA isn’t very good but that’s ridiculous. Those top national teams GA teams can play in ECNL without making league weaker

Ha! I don’t think that’s what he meant but you are right, league is going to get stronger by adding 5 top teams. Look at the NE conference. There are only 3 playoff spots and starting next year select is now competing for one of them. The is opposite of diluted, that means league is even tougher.
GA added 15 subpar teams is more likely to dilute the product

so are they adding teams that are better than the bottom of ECRL or not? If GA is really ridiculous and the teams are worse than this year's worse ECNL teams, then by definition they are diminishing ECRL, if not, you are saying there are teams in GA better than all teams in ECRL and a bunch of teams in ECRL, so doesnt that mean ECRL has ridiculous teams!?!?!?

I think you are confusing yourself unnecessarily.

What??? I said adding top GA teams to the ECNL makes ECNL tougher. Never said anything about ECNLR
assuming those 5 GA teams they are adding will put their 2nd teams in ECNLR. I have no idea if those second teams are any good.
I think you are tying yourself up in knots for no reason. GA is B league now. It is really hard to debate anything different

As long as you set the bar on winning a kid's soccer trophy, yes I would agree.

You're some kind of stupid.
just making the playoffs in a super competitive league is a huge accomplishment.

You have some super stupid friends. It seriously does not matter who wins if the goal is development and exposure.

And yes, New England ECNL teams ride the coattails of the better TX, CA, etc clubs. That's why it's silly to talk about "ECNL" rather than Stars or Scorpions or Select.

To their credit, adding Select will boost the competition in New England and help with player development.

So now it's not about wins its about development?

Any other excuses you can think of Coat Tails?

You should just stick to ga where you're guaranteed a playoff spot and won't need to work for it.

You should tell everyone which ECNL club your kid plays for so we can all laugh and point at the guy who's kids team is blown out in league every week. ;-)
