You don't always get Real Colorado or Crossfire as your opponent. Some clubs are really not worth the travel.......
ECNL Expansion In NorCal
- Thread starter Highlander
- Start date
From what I know, no travel to northwest anymore. 18 total ECNL games plus showcases is my understanding. For the u16/17 ages this is helpful since their travel schedule with showcases is heavy enough.

ECNL should set it up where ECNL conferences are smaller and more localized. Have ECNL play local ECRL teams (that are not second teams) once a season as non-conference games. Proven ECRL teams over time can be promoted and travel is reduced as a whole. Basically, invite all the GA teams to ECRL and be done with the ECNL/DA/GA feud.
Great idea but not going to happen. ECNL might have girls locked in Socal. But, not so much for the boys.
If things keep going the way that they are clubs will need to choose if they want to be a top level Girls or top level Boys club.
There's a good chance that GA might sneak into clubs on MLS Next's coattails.
This is what happened when a few pissed off clubs in Socal and a few older woman all felt the DA was not treating the girls equal and like men so they forced us all in the GDA and started to teach, coach and treat the girls like boys. It sucked!! I watched it and it was a joke. I know when I say this I piss off a few daddy's who thought the GDA was the best thing since slice bread and I understand why you feel that way, trust me. 5 years later and soccer is a joke and controlled a by a small few so they can make money and their kids can go play in college. Yippie!!! Soccer needs to be set free like Twitter. Lock these poor girls in gages and tell them how to behave, how to sing and how to be happy. No freedom. We need big change, my poo

The parable of The Scorpian and the Frog comes to mind. It's simply in his nature. Forest Whitaker's take on it in the crying game was a good one.
