ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

[davin]

Albion LV, LAPFC, and then the new LA Surf (which is new and a combo of LA Premier and the other clubs who joined). And those where where the majority of the losses came from.

From what I see, those teams only accounted for 3 of the 17 losses in those 3 age groups. How is that "majority of the losses"?

Eagles 05 listed as DA at Silverlakes. Are they factored in these numbers as DA or ECNL?

 

[ToonArmy]

I will bite. What age group. If it was Saturday maybe it was the weather. They had those mobile misters but I am not sure how well they worked.
We stayed and watched a couple games and thought the MVLA kids played amazing. My DD was impressed at how well they moved the ball for a team younger than hers. Side note we played in the third level.

Eagles were factored in as an ECNL club when I did the numbers. They were one of the weakest ECNL clubs there. It would've been much worse for GDA numbers if they were still GDA.

Albion LV didn't have any teams in those three age groups you mentioned, LAPFC only played in the 2004 age group, and LA Surf only played in the 2003 age group. You make it seem like those 2 teams are the reason for the poor results. Come on now...

Albion LV was in the 05 and 04 groups in Surf. However looking again they didnt play any ECNL teams.

Albion LV 05 played Crossfire who is an ECNL team but still listed as DA on the schedule.

So basically you were talking out of your ass when you blamed the poor results on those 3 clubs.

Fair enough as I go back and look at all the games again.

However LAPFC is LA Surf. Now why they have the 2 names listed separately is curious. Probably the same reason in some places Eagles are listed DA and others ECNL in Silverlakes.

Abner vs Ted.
If anyone has highlights, please post them here.
Does anyone know if the Blues DA and ECNL teams ever share players during the season or in tournaments? (Obviously not this weekend).

DA 2, ECNL 0
The answer to your question is "yes". Blues DA top scorer played with their ECNL team throughout the playoffs and championship games.
This weekend one of (if not the) top player from the ECNL team played with the DA side.

Now on the 04 side the Beach DPL team did play 2 DA teams. Lost both, but one was 2-1 and the other was 1-0.

I do consider Beach a good club. They just didnt have their DA teams in the 05-03 age groups at either showcase.

BEACH DA is on break until next week.

Side note: Abner’s 2006 Blues goalie playing for the 2003 DA team for this tournament. Wow.

Blues DA team barely made the playoffs and then got pummeled in the playoffs. Blues ECNL won the national championship. Who won the game at Surf Cup?

Yes, my mistake. Thanks for catching that. Should've been:
U15 - SoCal Blues GDA vs. Surf Hawaii

Still remains 4 ECNL finalists and 3 GDA finalists.

Does ECNL or DA have an issue with this? I’d assume that both leagues would prefer an “all-in” approach for a club like Blues. Seems they would disallow sharing between the 2 leagues.

 

[Josep]

That DA team will be one of the top teams in the country this season. The ECNL team is going to be far less successful.
