Met Oval is not that good anymore. They are living off a reputation from years past when they were one of the few shows in town, kinda like ODP. They were good once but nowhere close to what it use to be. Same for Gottschee, let’s not forget, non-MLS teams were the reason why DA fell apart.

NYCFC was the worst thing that ever happen to these two clubs. They are not a destination anymore, just an exit in the highway. Turnover is high.

You can sing the praises of MLS Next all you want but let's be real for a second. The league is not that good on paper. There are some bad teams in there and that's one of the main reasons why they dismantled DA, to begin with.

Nobody knows what MLS has in mind for this league. This past year was just a band-aid until they get the pandemic behind them. I doubt they broke up the DA just to reincarnate under a different brand. Yesterday, MLS announced they are creating a secondary pro league that will also have a pathway to the pros. Good, bad, or indifferent, a new academy league only dilutes the talent. Can our area produce enough talented players to support three MLS Next teams, four USL academy teams, the five or so top division private clubs, and now this new league?

I don't have that answer but you know what I'm pretty sure about. In two years things will be dramatically different, and the same, two years after that.

MLS just figured out how to monetize youth soccer, they will keep adding Clubs and tiers. They will let the top teams carve out the divisions they want to be in, and cash checks from the rest.

It’s funny that you mentioned MLS and money. MLS dressed up the demise of the DA as a result of unequal game play between teams but that was just an excuse. MLS clubs did not want to pay US Soccer to play in their academy league. They didn’t want to subsidize their academies AND pay league fees. Their answer was to create MLS Next and have the 75 non-MLS teams pay MLS instead.

They created the ultimate pay to play. Their top teams are subsidized by B, C, and D teams in the league.
