I agree. The problem for girls DA was creating/funneling elite players into a small group without a buyer. The USWNT wasn't going to pay but they'd gladly take the talent being offered. Without a buyer people (coaches + docs) figured out that DA was on a path to nowhere. Might as well pocket a much as you can before spit hits the fan.

The mls has the same salary caps and pyramid scheme going. It’s why the galaxy went from a championship team in one year to not being able to win a single game until recently. It’s the exact same system but less mature. The big head scratcher is if the mls is no dipping into markets like San Diego and St. Louis what happens when they hit market saturation are they are no longer able to do it.

My guess is MLS will end up like NFL with a couple of Spanos owned Chargers type teams that constantly lose and only exist because of the rules.

MLS is already at saturation, what's next, Vegas? Phoenix? I have only been to a handful of different MLS Team games, but they all feel cookie cutter and unoriginal. The outlier is LAFC which seems to put an emphasis on fan entertainment, maybe due to the Hollywood connection.

College is for sure the best choice. There are only 14 NWSL teams, carrying a roster of maybe 25 players. To break into a team, you need to knock out an existing pro. Its elite level. Keep in mind, there are thousands of girls playing college soccer. At the last (& final) draft a total, which was a record, of 56 players were chosen. That's it - about 0.5% of D1 players (only).

Two of the Wave players came straight from ECNL; still in Highschool. Looking like the direct path into NWSL is via ECNL, same as college.

mls1 will be the same as mls2. It will be business suicide if both stay in BY.

Mlsn only serves the needs of the academies. The question is what the academies do. And it looks like the academies might be waiting on what happens in Europe since that is what motivated the change to by in the first place. It’s also likely why they picked September instead of August (since August makes more sense from the way us school enrollment works in the majority of states). England iirc is on a September by.

Btw is anyone is interested in seeing how tiered rec works in Northern Europe there’s a Dutch series on Netflix called “soccer parents”. It really just is tiered ayso. They make fun of referees that don’t know the rules and are overtly biased, coaches chasing trophies, parents critiquing practices, and parents behaving badly at games same as here. What’s different is their volunteer coaches know what they are doing and are interested in getting the Youngers selected for the academies. The system is tiered with pro rel but it’s less of an issue since no college concerns…just to shame the club which they make fun of for putting too much emphasis…there also no private training or multiple sessions more than twice a week due to severe field limitations.
