Since this year they played each team 3x, that would eliminating 6 games that are an absolute waste of time and money.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf that is a more competitive game then why not? I am on the fence about gda and that would make it much more appealing in my assessment. Closer, more competitive games..what is the downside? The clubs become training partners to one another and not just competitors

The GDA is getting weaker in all areas except for CA. There are a lot of clubs in the DA with -30 or more goals, several are as high as -80. This is not good competition for the top clubs. US soccer screwed this up major and nobody wants to admit it. They had a chance to work with the ECNL and would have got teams that need to be in like Breakers. Wait, they were in the ECNL but choose GDA. This is what happens when you try to make a power play and it does not work.
Now they want to do biogender or what ever they call it so the small players feel like they belong even though they are 2 or 3 years older. Really smart having players play down. US soccer in this country is a joke, would love to see competition for being the national team between us club and us soccer. Club would kick their ass.
The national team staff is a joke. People think the ECNL is a good old boys network us soccer is worse. Take this how you want but stick to ODP and get out of running leagues. Also all boys DA should be MLS clubs and follow what every other country does. Own it’s academy players and sell them to other clubs to make money. I even think on the girls side this should be how it works. You train them at young ages for players to go to other clubs with out a return on investment. If you want my 02 superstar you can have her for $20,000. This would make clubs reevaluate how they train at the younger ages. They best coaches would be there and not the Foreign speaking green cards that don’t know the game because they could not get jobs in football in their own country. Sorry for going on a tangent.

Are these all the clubs that have both this year?
Stars
PDA
NTH-Tophat
Eclipse
FC Dallas
Dallas Texans
Slammers (GDA is JV with LAFC)
So Cal Blues

Was it good that we don’t have contracts with players. I am not talking about selling them across the country but with all the clubs if they want to go from Stars to Breakers or GPS then the club needs to pay a price for the player to be released.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe ECNL notified all teams in the Ohio Valley conference of the addition of Indy Fire. They did not make the announcement as scheduled but I would expect it at any time now. If you don't believe, no big deal, the truth will come out. Overall it's not that big of a deal anyway. Another solid club out of the DA and another solid club added to ECNL. DA will be fine in other conferences but yeah, it's looking kinda bleak for the midwest.
But this is an MLS affiliated club dumping GDA? If it happens, the Midwest GDA division is toast. I think it is actually a medium-sized deal, if not more.
