I’ll say this. We were told over during U10-U14 that the talent would eventually funnel to the ECNL clubs. That in fact happened.

I’m impressed that NEFC has managed to stay competitive (on paper at least) where all the other little girl soccer super teams have crumbled and are now fighting it out in Impact NPL or whatever it is called this year. But I also won’t be surprised if the last few NEFC holdouts finally move to the dark side.

ECNL is the top league for girls. PERIOD. You can try to spin it any other way, but you are only fooling yourself.

Weekly reminder that JB at Stars is an absolute waste of space. Term he used a couple times during the year on one particular girl. I'll be offering a best of as a weekly reminder.

And yes we are bitter as hell.

Keep kids away. 2010 moms are a lot more apt to by JB a frappe from across the street.

No doubt the JB guy sounds like a creep. Unfortunately, there are some youth coaches (not just stars) that are failures in life, and try to make themselves feel better by putting down teenage girls. These creepy aging has-beens or never-weres, are so easy to spot, yet some parents and players are foolish enough to play along and not call them out. I guess they are so impressed by a girls soccer coach, that they have become delusional and lost their integrity.

The poster wasn't arguing that, just that NEFC has managed to do ok through all the turmoil. Of course ECNL is the stronger league but that doesn't mean there aren't some good players or teams in GAL. If you were going to do GAL NEFC would be the only club to consider. Not all players can make an ECNL team, or have a decent ECNL team near them. College coaches know it and won't exclude a quality player from GAL.

This^^^.

I’m pretty sure half the people on this thread would fail a reading comprehension test.

It’s been said over and over. ECNL is the best league and NEFC is the best team. For now.

Top league? Yes, more depth than GA, but that doesn’t mean they have all the top teams or clubs. Look at Topdrawer club rankings, NEFC is higher than Stars but…stars plays in ECNL so they are better….according to you. Almost all clubs have a good team or two in an age group and one or two thats struggling. Undeniably ECNL is the better league but you are fooling yourself if you think Stars or Scorps are the only clubs worth playing for.

Anyone that has watched any of the local teams play knows that stars is significantly better at the high school age groups. Additionally, look at the difference in the commitment lists of NEFC and Stars. It isn't even close - Stars has players going to Penn State, Michigan, UVA, Clemson, Princeton, in face basically all of the Ivys, and many other top schools. Every single player on the U19 team is committed division 1. It really isnt close between Stars and NEFC. NEFC and Scorps - sure that is close at the older age groups.

Omg again no one said there aren't some good GAL teams, clubs or players. Do you read any posts at all?

This is girls youth soccer we’re arguing this passionately about, right? Just want to confirm.

It’s more accurately called “living through your kid,” which can animate any statement about any topic into an implied glove-slap that requires a duel.
