I read consistently how terrible Boca is which is coming from the Weston propaganda machine, but results from the first weekend don't show Weston was much better than us.
Analysis of ECNL programs. My take so far.
Fields
Weston has more fields, but they get rained out much more than LR at Boca. The fields at Boca are better maintained, while Vista looks like a sandpit most of the year. Doesn't matter how many fields you have, if they are in terrible shape. Advantage Boca.
Coaches
Boca has coaches that have proven success (i.e. State cup finalist). Weston has A licensed coaches that have never had any success. Names and status goes to Weston, but development goes to Boca. Look at our last graduating class and MC's last class. Clemson, UM, Yale, UF, etc while Weston has Barry and Lynn. Advantage Boca. Easily.
Results
Weston record: 3 wins, 6 losses, 1 tie. Goal differential 11-32. Goal differential vs CESA 7-12
Boca record: 3 wins, 7 losses. Goal differential 13-52. Goal differential vs CESA 10-13.
Same amount of wins. Weston is 1 pt better than Boca. Tophat showed us no mercy, and Weston parked the bus against them, while we played them straight up. Against CESA Boca had better goal differential than Weston. Because of the terrible showing against Tophat, Advantage Weston. But not by much.
The difference between Boca and Weston is minimal. Yet all the Pro- Weston folks are badmouthing Boca at every turn. You would think that Weston was undefeated and competing for national championships, but that's not what results indicate. After one weekend of ECNL play I would say both clubs are fairly even.
