You know what's silly? Half the clubs you mentioned to make the case that GDA has the top players will no longer be playing in GDA this year and will be competing only in ECNL, and another one on your list(SoCal Blues) placed its 2 best teams(2001 and 2002) in ECNL last year and will continue to do so this year.
You know what else is silly? Your understanding that the dialogue for the last few pages on this thread was "only referring to one lil' group". LOL. I'm not going to rehash it here, but it was across multiple age groups in Silverlakes. Start a few pages back and check it out. Reading is fundamental, my friend.
And speaking of "rose colored glasses". I think you might be able to find them. Some dude in Texas has been wearing them. Might help to look in the mirror.
My discussion about where top players are WAS specific to the 05 group, because that’s the player pool I know. You made it broader, and when you did, you picked some sample results that were mostly indicative of MVLA 04’s strength. NorCal is one market where GDA is taking longer. It’s pointless to argue every point because GDA is a whopping year old and some people hear what they want to hear. Time will tell how the leagues will go.
