Classic league and next seasons outlook.

What will next season look like? Any teams fell off?  ECNL shake up rattle some of the bigs? Who got stronger? Any new kids on the block ready to make a run? Will Elite layeth the smackdown for a threepeat?

Sting Sting Central 03G Cuevas U14 D1-No idea in the sting world but will the ecnl drain be felt?

Sting Sting Dallas 03G Guzman U14 D1 - see above

Dallas Texans Dallas Texans 03 G STH U14 D1 - 03 DTS was pretty solid but how many did they lose to ecnl?

FC Dallas Youth 03G Premier U14 D1- FCD was already near the top in the 03's. now they become weddlites they could challenge or hold court depends on perspective

Liverpool FC America Liverpool FC America 04G Elite U14 D1-Can They repeat as champs ruling the CL world with an iron fist?

Dallas Texans Dallas Texans 04 Girls Dallas U14 D1-the Scotties are on to a new coach.  Will they rise? ECNL drain? Improved? Is this there year?

D'Feeters D'Feeters 04 Black Kenn U14  D1-Ah good old stinkyfeet.  How does it all shake out with ECNL, Champions league, CL, jacks, and hopscotch?  Seems like a lot of games and not a huge player pool.  Will the mighty kicks help here?

Solar Solar Chelsea '03 Pulpaneck U14 D1- Ah the magic of Pulpdaddy.  Now is this the old 04's that's stayed D1 or the slightly scary pool from the 03's? who is in the ecnl who is here.  Rumor is solar loves a duel roster so expect to see Carli Lloyd in a game or 2

Dallas Texans Dallas Texans 04G Red Dallas U14 D1-Hello?  Anyone there? Any one have any idea of whats going on in the red camp?

Liverpool FC America 04 Girls Owen U14 D1-Umm okay....I guess so.  Should be fairly intact and will compete.

Okay let the prognostications and mud slinging commence

                                                                                                      YOUR WELCOME!!!

Will they still call the team "elite" after the merge?

What merge?

OH BTW any impact in the age group from the Solar andro merge?

Will they still call the team "elite" after the merge?

Which of these teams are in Champions League? Of those, which are playing double duty, and are they even allowed to do that.

Have a feeling of all these teams, very few look anything like they did last year. I know of several that lost a lot due to AP, JDL, club transfers, ECNL, etc..

Go, is this bait and switch, or are you really in the dark on all of this? Usually you are much more in the know than this.

Ok jack, I'll reveal my ignorance by asking, which Elite are you referring too? There were more than one.

Actually none...just saw the opportunity to poke at go with all the craziness going on...might be lp-sting-spirit elite by the end of the week.

you never know after that Andromeda-solar merger dropped out of nowhere. Actually brings some size and structure to solar. Definitely a game changer

Hmmm...LP and Sting, now that would make for interesting bedfellows.

We might know more tomorrow...or we might not.

I think it may push Solar over the top regarding DA. Also heard rumblings of them getting their own practice facility.

There's one coach at Sting that probably wouldn't be too upset by it...

Hmmm... LP merge with Sting. Normally I would dismiss it as LP has a lot of boys teams and Sting is girls only but..., with todays environment maybe LP DOC could just convince the boys to identify as girls and voila! Problem solved.

I heard that having both boys and girls teams was one of the prerequisites for securing a DA.

I think the merger just got solar the DA and squashed sting. No wonder solar was so confident when I was hearing chatter to the contrary.

Serious question, what does Andromeda add that could put Solar over the top? And is there any more clarity on how many DA's are being established?

Actual field locations to use consistently as a true base of operations

Not saying that is not true, but why? When boys teams decided for DA were those clubs required to have girls teams? Completely unfamiliar with DA so just asking.

Facilities, teams, coaches with high level licenses, additional financial stability and as stated probably pushes them over the line for a DA spot.

According to the Andro - Solar merger post, they already have the DA spot locked up. Unless I am interpreting it wrong, which is possible.

"In short, nothing really changes other than the brand and the opportunities presented by virtue of being part of a larger club that has both the USSF Development Academy and ECNL status."

I'm assuming email included boys and girls, so it would already be true for boys, not sure about girls.

You are probably right. That makes sense.

So just to clarify and get things back on track. Super solar is awesome and may finally be able to punch with the big boys. Hopefully leadership will really take a cue from Andromeda. My time there was the most organized and efficient of any club. My time at solar has been a complete train wreck (from an organizational perspective). This is a big opportunity for the club and NTX or it could just end up being an even bigger mess. Now back to the 03's. Somebody give me a breakdown or maybe a first time poster to throw some shade at an old team
