LA Galaxy to remove alliance program

I'm going with the some Euro club. And they'll talk about all of the great resources they'll get from ManchesDortmundElonaElsea. It will be amazing. They'll send their coaches back there 4 times per year (BOONDOGGLE!!!!) for training. And they'll take several teams back there for tournaments (only those who can afford a 2 week trip to Europe will be invited)

You mean more cool videos to download and marketing material showing some cool goals from the biggest Euro stars? How about some Liga MX team? Would be awesome to see and hear all the Coaches yelling with their English/Irish accents in Club America shirts - MX sponsors like Bimbo and Banco Popular would be mandatory.

I knew it. I had a hutch u know the truth already. I'll bump my donation to $100 for you to give it up now. Selected Officials, Chairman Woodcock and his preferred minions, the TM and top players parents already know. I bet Kicker knows too...…..I'm willing to pay $100 to see if my sources are any good :)

Hah, a couple hundred more and I’d almost consider. Had to make a couple edits to your post. :)

for the record not a liga mx team, Greek team, French or MLS team

Need that Corona sponsor. No idea which club it was, but seeing a 9v9 age group all wearing Corona jerseys at a tournament has been one of my highlights over the years.
 
We have 3 “franchises” to consider:

LAGSB - rumor mill has them being absorbed into Beach SB. But still loads of questions as to some of their key Coaching Assests that straddle the GDA mothership and the Affiliate group.

LAGOC - Woodcock’s group....my Guess is Arsenal or Barcalona with the edge to Barca based on their recent interests in the women’s game.

LAGSD - at a bit of a loss in this one, so I’ll go with a PDA type affiliation. I.E. San Diego PDA

No leaking is amazing. We should have a contest to see who can guess the new club name. I will pitch in $5 and the one who guesses first gets the money pot. Only one guess allowed per forum user. I will let others go first because I think I already know.

$5 well for that much I'm in

Real Unicornios of Orange County, "draft" logo:

real-unicornios_1x.jpg


In conjunction with EuroSnob FC of Milan we will turn your kid into a Unicornios as long as you pay us more than you do now.
We have a great summer tour all setup of all the little unicornions, pay only $4000 for this trip and your all set.
Come attend our tryouts their free Friday nights starting Dec 1st, must registrar and have a unicornios ball to participate ($only 25 on site)

Cheers,
From the directors who are going to make even more $$ on the rebadging

Seriously hope they go with something that has a future and reflects hometown;
Orange County FC? ​
At lest there is a connection to the community and they have​
higher level teams in the USL.
 
More like Irvine FC. They are Irinves recreation league and club team but I'm betting woodcock goes with ManU if he goes with a pro club

Hah, had to go to school and drop off a change of shirt once because my kid had a MX shirt with Corona on it. Alcohol okay on kids shirts but no to marijuana still

I'd drive my daughter down to San Diego or wherever Newcastle plays if they would wear the throwback brown ale sponsored shirt or if Warren Barton could get Sharks to wear it

Funny you say that because clubs who use pro brands know parents will take kids to wear jerseys. I know a kid who left SoCal to play at Barca “academy”. So for over $25k a year, a poor family who can’t afford it, took the bait and playing in 3rd division in AZ. Went from DA to below SoCal Flight 2 level soccer because it’s “Barca”. Clubs know they’ll get ignorant parents to buy in

I have a new name for DA. Dumb Actors. I had some of these folks (dads) a few years ago tell me the girls will soon be able to live on academy housing at Big Club Locations all over the USA year around and train train, train, everyday train for soccer. Soccer, soccer, soccer everyday. Any way, I told this dad your nuts and no girl would ever do that but I hear their building cabins as I speak and have a list of girls who want all in soccer to go pro and YNT. Portland I hear might be building some too. Can you imagine sending your dd off to DA Academy Housing for year round training.....

Yeah I know these people are nuts and won’t listen to people who have been through the nonsense or even played in other countries as Americans - what do they know? You could play in Discovery, Premier, ECNL or Flight1 Champions and save $15k-$27k. Look at the nuts in the tryout section who admit they take calls from coaches about their four year olds. Okay it was one lunatic but still these crazies out there. Unfortunately a lot of people would send there 12,13, 14+ old kid to live in other states to chase a dream they have less than 1% chance to obtain. Kid I know hasn’t seen his dad in 3 months - insane.

Doesn't IMG Academy offer DA on the girls side, and probably boys too? And its a boarding school. People from around the world send their kids there for all kinds of sports/Activities. So these nutty people you are talking about weren't all that wrong, but still probably didn't know what they were talking about.

Yes but most of these kids going to these academies are 1 in Hundreds of Thousands or 1 in a Million. Kids dominating wherever they were at and so far above others they get scouted - not by just 1 or 2 local clubs. Baracelona here in North America have said they have no ambition to take any kids to Europe any time soon. Out of all the kids being sent around the world I would really like to see the percentages of those who make it to pro level in the sports they went of to play. From what I understand of the soccer academies, in Europe and here in the states, education hasn’t been the priority. Lawmakers have had to force them to abide to standards. A couple of friends who came out of top academies in Europe in the 90s said the education programs were pretty bad and the coaches ignored anything that wasn’t about soccer
 
Anyone know if this was something that MLS is forcing on the Galaxy?
Wouldn’t it be interesting if LAFC came in and took them over. They’ve already created a big fan base.

LAFC doesn't want to be in the club soccer "non-profit" business.

No MLS is not forcing, the trend is new clubs only in DA but several existing ones still have regular club teams.

LAFC is currently in the ECNL business due to their Slammers affiliation. And Slammers affiliated with LAFC so they could get DA. Then they went all in with ECNL.

If they were to combine, I would think LAGSD would absorb SDSC. Since their geographical locations are so far about, I think that is highly unlikely however.

Interesting idea. LAGSD is going to be left with no recognizable name, SDSC has the DOC name recognition in BQ and connections with D1 soccer at USD. They are loosely in the same area, have a similar clientele, seem to swap players back and forth each year. Resulting club would have the combined DA of both clubs and be a real counter to Surf.
