Only horrible conditions for bayside but their opponent had good conditions?Comment

Feel bad for the few good players on the bayside 2011 team. They have some talent but not enough. They call themselves pre-GA for this reason. Just still building this team. Not sure if they will get the influx of talent they need unless some players come over from Scorpions or Surf.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Hmmm teams like this who’ve had a loss of players in a specific birth year sometimes never recover. It’s not the clubs fault. The 2011s for Bayside took a big hit from RG who brought the talent to Scorpions. This was also done to Juventus and NEFC. All 3 clubs lost good players to Scorpions due to the ECNL patch. Some of the good players stayed but not enough of them. From talking to parents 2010s seem to have recovered from the loss of players due to chasing ECNL with an influx of players coming in last spring at tryouts. Maybe the 2011s will recover. The club was bleeding players due to no national pathway. What usually happens is good local players get to high school and no longer want to do long commutes to far away clubs because they have a social life and homework. They start looking for local clubs with national pathways. I see RI Surf and Bayside gaining stronger teams as players go back home and they have a national path now at both clubs. The 2011s though are a tricky bunch as they have been switching up clubs in groups “cartels” and following coaches. They haven’t learned coaches aren’t loyal to players or clubs. Stop following them.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Those 2010s who ‘chased ECNL’ came back because they couldn’t cut it at ECNL.Originally posted by Guest View Post
You seem to like the ‘national pathway’ term. Define it for us. Where does this national pathway lead you in today’s GA? And where does it lead a kid from a third tier club whose team can’t sniff a winning season let alone a national playoff.Comment

Nope you don’t know each players story. Players returning back to RI weighed it out. ECNL wasn’t worth it for many. You’ll see more RI players come back.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Another great win by Surf! Getting stronger everyday and dominating GA teams.
NEFC watch out Surf is here to stay and we will beat you next match up. BF knows how to put a team together.Comment

ECNL is so hyped right now. The kool-aid drinkers don’t even realize that many are not doing their kid any favors putting them in those clubs that make players play scared to make a mistake. Lacking creativity and burnout is real. There are some good ECNL coaches at Stars but I only know one good coach at Scorpions. For many players it’s not worth it. You can play college soccer and not be part of ECNL.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Dominating weak GA teams is not impressive. Everyone has said all along that this league is weak with one quality club in NE. You can go undefeated against the rest of the conference but it’s still not impressive.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

How did bayside get on today?Comment

They didn’t figure out it wasn’t worth it. They didn’t get ECNL offers.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Are you just mad you lost and they continue to dominate. They will continue to run through teams and keep getting better.Originally posted by Guest View Post
They will also continue the winning at national events.Comment

Most of the talent, not all have returned to Bayside from the Scorpions. They have a strong base to build upon, perhaps more talent will come in this winter or next yearComment
