2017 ECNL Phoenix College Showcase

SW conference teams avoiding too much damage as they play against talent outside of the SoCal division?
 
Arsenal 4 v Texans 1 - physical game 6 yellow cards given out

Arsenal possessed the ball more, made more runs - probably should have scored more - Texans struggled with team speed especially at top - good game - Arsenal was able to manage the physical play

Strikers and Arsenal teams showing well

As they should. Two good teams beating up the 8th place team from Texas.
 
The number of coaches on the sidelines was impressive. There were coaches at our games not listed on the site.
 
Few notes after day 2 (some late games still going on)


• Beautiful Fields
• Easy parking next to fields (free!)
• US Scouts present
• Tons of College Coaches present
• Norcal Clubs go 6-0 on day 1
• Heat FC goes 0-2
• GSA goes 2-0
• MVLA scores 13 goals (2 games)
• 13 of the 15 games reported are decided by 2 goals or less (MVLA 7-0 over Surf, Real Colorado 3-0 over Sereno)

Normally I would be ticked...but man games were excellent. Both losses on corner kicks in around the 77 minute :mad:. Mustang a ping pong ball along crossbar. Great goal scored by GSA. GSA is legit. Should be a good matchup between them and MVLA this morning.
 
So am I going to be the first DA parent to admit here that ECNL may be a better path to college based on the presence of 40 plus coaches on 04 sidelines?
I guess we may have to wait until Dec at the 03 in Florida to see the comparison?
Regardless ECNL has a jump on us in terms of exposure. Forget the Scouts I could care less since my daughter isn't a one percenter.
Kudos to ECNL for still doing what they did so well the last nine years.

It’s a great number. It’s very similar to surf cup showcase for DA over summer for 03 and 04. One girl from Strikers, a very talented player, was offered a full ride on the spot.
 
We are seeing more college coaches around the 03's - higher #'s for sure ... but 04's are also getting looks as well .... headed into last day we will see if College coaches will stay to watch games in the last day

I think it is.

ECNL will still draw coaches like Players Showcase and Surf Cup. ECNL just runs a good event for the college coaches.
