Gunner Academy U13 team just won NY State Cup, and Eastern Regionals. Never heard of this club.

That's nice. How many MLS players did they play? -
Rumor has it there were a handful of red bull academy players. Can't confirm, but saw them smash just about every team they played including a very good Football academy teamOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

If true, they are not the only team who won regionals with MLS players -- including players from Red Bulls and NYCFC.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Somone needs to send photos of the teams with their cups to the MLS teams so that at least the MLS teams take action.Comment

Long Island Soccer Academy 2009 could muster only a single win in EDP league play but somehow won the Eastern New York State Cup. If anyone thinks that he players who could win only one game in the regular season are the same players as won the State Cup, I have a nice bridge to sell you.Comment

EDP teams using MLS players is rampant.Comment

I think MLS kids opting to dual card in USYS is a good thing. MLS kids need playing time and USYS kids get a better teammate to play with. The only person who can actually moan is the USYS kid who looses minutes.
If I was on the outside looking in and couldn’t get noticed by the academy, playing on one of these hybrid teams is a very good option. There is a reason why the MLS kid chose that program.Comment

Btw…ECNL on the boys side is trash. Let’s refrain from including them in the conversation. The best USYS teams routinely play at a higher level then SUSA, EMSC, and Manhattan. ECNL is a bad league with some really bad teams.Comment

LISC used the exact same roster for their cup team that they used for regular season. Anyone who actually faced them in the cup games could tell you that.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Come on .. MLS Next is TRASH other than NYCFC or Red Bulls. In fact, most of the kids on NYCFC and Red Bulls suck. They are just there to provide someone for the 3-4 kids on each team with some talent to play with.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

You have no idea what you are talking about. The MLS kids are not "dual carding" and they are not members of two different teams. Instead, they are either "guest players" for whatever non-MLS team they want to play for in some tournament or championship on some given day or they falsely claim to be someone else on the team's roster (assuming EDP even checks the roster). One day NYCFC Jimmy may play for team 1 and another day for team 2 and a third day for team 3. If you don't think there is something wrong with this, then we should dispense with all divisions -- if it is fine for MLS players to play against kids in EDP, surely it is okay for kids now on division 6 teams to play in one unitary division against kids now on division 1 teams. If it is okay for the composition of a team to change from week to week, we should get rid of standings because they are meaningless. And, indeed, if EDP does not police who is on teams, we should get rid of teams entirely and kids who want to play should just show up at game time and divide into groups to play.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Maybe they remembered to eat their Wheaties before the State Cup games but forgot to eat them before all their league games.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment
