Hello friends,

👉 Let’s stir it up a little:


  • Who are your Top 5 teams in NL right now?
  • Who are your Top 5 in RL?
  • And which teams (from either side) do you think could be “dark horses” this season?

Drop your lists below 👇 and let’s see who’s bold enough to back up their picks when the games get going ⚽🔥
 
Here's SR's take at the beginning of the season. For NL I was able to find what is almost certainly the correct team entity, save 1 or 2. For RL it gets much dicier trying to pick which team is which, as some of them at this age group would just be starting to be called RL - but I picked what I felt was the best option. If any are clearly mistakes, please let me know and I can edit. Koge and Slammers are clear top bets for NL, Legends and Blues seem to be at the top currently for RL.

If they keep playing like that they will be.

But this past weekend they split two games with the #6, and tied the #14. They have performed in line with their rating for their entire game history, save for 1 green overperform.

Just looked at the table in that screenshot, Legends ECNL 2013G has played the hardest schedule in the country for 2013G teams (based on SR ratings of opponents) over their past 10 games. They certainly have every opportunity to maintain/increase their rating/ranking as they continue to improve.

It will be interesting to see how they do. I'm pretty sure a few of their players that were on the team during "The Showcase 2025" are now on Koge. I know at least 1 was for sure. Their best player. My daughters team is the 12's team that beat them that tournament. They were an impressive team at the time imo.
 
Koge 13 easily the best team

This past weekend they just went 3-1 against top 20 2012 ECNL teams

I think Surf will be there with them come spring next year , give them some more time with Walker

I think a couple of Koge players played on the Legends 2012 RL team that won nationals last season

I really like Walker. IMO he's the best coach in socal. Love what he's done with the 12's and I agree, give him some time. I don't think they are as talented as Koge, but if he can coach them like he did with the 12's their IQ and style can beat talent. That will be fun to see how the teams progress.
