How’s the 2024-2025 season going?

Excuses. I was told 5 of the field players that started the first quarter of the game were the bench. The back to back goals were with the starting lineup with the exception of 2 players. Hats off to Seattle, they played their game. My apologies to Carlsbad7 for the misinformation. Very uncharacteristic of Surf, but happy that they came through, especially with the bench getting in on the action.
 
Score board is score board. Crush's new 2010 Top 5

#1 Surf from San Diego
#2 Slammers Koge
#3 Legends
#4 Fram GOATs
#5 Legends SD
Crush, your first 3 are spot on. The next two, not so much. Fram is a good team, but The sharks need to show in ECNL. I know…..Legends. Your call that the real Legends would be the dominant team at this age was a bit pre-mature. I think Surf and Koge will continue to have the “team experience and knowledge” factor. And, you don’t see players moving from those teams, so they are doing something right.

The new ECNL league for SW feels different, but I can’t say why for sure. I guess because there will be no “redo’s”.

The last two was crush satire. Give me you #4 and #5.
 
MVLA NL not at Surf Cup, RL was. #4 Slammers FC? #5 Beach or Blues? This is SW only right? lol
No, National. SoCal and Nocal have the top teams but maybe a VA team should be included. Texas sucks right now. I'm going with Mar's team out of VA for #5 and MLVA #4. This MOO only and no satire :)
 
Virginia's not even in the top 20 at the moment. I know there is some intel here showing that they should be getting better over time - but their record hasn't shown that right up until this point.

Mars is the one bringing the East Coast bias. We all know Socal is #1. We bring in our little sister from up North to make us the true #1 Mecca for girls youth soccer. We need our own league so the best of the best stay home, train and heal without having to jump on a plane. Those who want to try their luck against Cali, they have to fly to us.
 
I'm pretty sure "predominantly" is not correct.
I think they bought 6 2011's from what I recall reading but I'm sure mostly were subs on the bench. Could you imagine hand picking some of the top players in the country and putting them together under 1 goat team. You are going to have a competitive squad. I could probably make a goat team with the top players in Socal alone and beat everyone else in the country.

My dd played on a few goat teams but the one I remmeber the most is the true GOAT FC team. We played up in the Swallows Tournament in San Juan and won it all. Tech was there and so many other great parents. It was a fun team and one of the all-time best ever put together. Bakers had the best team to win it all in MOO, but our GOAT team was not far from being the best of the best of the best. Everyone should have the goal to play in the best of the best of the goats but only one team is crowned champion.

Both ECNL and GA leagues are leaving themselves open to another "California Only" league to come in and steal all the top clubs so they can just play each other and be the top tier.

If California holds all the cards they determine the game.
