That is exactly what my buddy on the Slammers team told me. The Slammers team was using the ECNL moniker to attract college coaches for their uncommitted players.

Ahhh, no. The reason Surf doesn't have a 99 ECNL team is that ECNL merged the 98 and 99 birth years this year. There are no 99 ECNL teams, just U17, then U18/19.
Nice try though.

I spoke to Walid earlier this year. He confirmed (and I noticed) that he left all of his committed girls home when we played them. Filled the roster with younger and B team players.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but looks like your DDs team didn't wax older ECNL teams after all.Uh, yes. Absolutely positive...
Silverlakes College Showcase 2016
27 Nov 16 WEST COAST FC ECNL COMPOSITE (U19) 1 - 0 38.74
26 Nov 16 SLAMMERS FC ECNL (U19) 4 - 038.98
25 Nov 16 SC DEL SOL ECNL (U19) 1 - 1 40.57
The quote was, "ECNL would wax all of the teams. They could play their bench and beat almost all of them."
outside!

Thanks, I didn't know that ECNL was not having 99 teams this year. That does not change the history of the 99/00 team that would have become the 99 team with the age year change however. I do think that Surf has made many positive changes in the past couple of years. The new DOC seems to be doing good things.

Heck, I remeber when Hodges wanted his flagship 99's to be featured in his college showcase as the sole, "fri night lights" game vs Rennie/Bobaks 99's.....Cali's 99s got waxed all over chino as they got beat down 3-0 (or something like that)....Tads girls never got invite back (what a coinkidink)

And Cali used the phrase in this post below that his DDs Legends 99 team waxed older ECNL teams at Silverlakes, which weren't the actual ECNL teams afterall.

Aw shucks, dem huckleberries are da best ECNL team in all the land, and since it was just a lil old college showcase, we only played our non-committed and younger players.Heck, I remeber when Hodges wanted his flagship 99's to be featured in his college showcase as the sole, "fri night lights" game vs Rennie/Bobaks 99's.....Cali's 99s got waxed all over chino as they got beat down 3-0 (or something like that)....Tads girls never got invite back (what a coinkidink)

When a team beats the GoldenState Warriors without; Durant, Green, Thompson and Curry. Did the team really beat the GoldenState Warriors?
Is that a trick question? The answer is Yes. Let's not get into Orwellian double-speak. We hear too much of it these days.

Yes.
No, that team would have beaten the Santa Cruz Warriors.

And if the Golden State Warriors played their D league roster, instead of their 12 man roster in a non-league game. Did that team beat the GoldenState Warriors?
Yes. Otherwise by your logic every team that competes has to have their full roster at their disposal for anything to really count. And that as we know is total BS and then no one really wins any sort of championship or game what so ever by your definition cause it wasn't "the real team". So if Brady didn't play last Sunday and the Falcons ended up winning there would be an asterisk in the stats that the win didn't really count? I have yet to hear this BS in any other sport other than here in the US in any non-professional soccer event.

If it was a league game yes, it counts. If it were a preseason or exhibition game all pro teams don't play their starters or if they did it's at most 50% of the game if that. So how does this apply to club soccer easy. College Showcases are technically exhibition games, because there are no winners. So apply the same logic to the SilverLakes Showcase in which CaliKlines thinks his DD Legends team beat ECNL teams.....ha!
FWIW, the actual ECNL players played the prior week at the AZ ECNL Showcase and yes the games there counts for wild card playoff standings.
