Every club has good coaches and bad coaches. Coaches who are good at developing players and coaches who aren't. Coaches who are only concerned about winning (or maybe just getting a paycheck) and coaches who are in it for the right reason. Concorde included. If you have a daughter who is serious about becoming the best player she can possibly be, and she has the opportunity to play at Concorde for Garvin, I woud highly recommend she do so. One thing to note about the CF 07s loss to AFU. Pretty sure this is correct, but I think CF's best defender and overall best player was at national team camp. I know many of you will say that one player shouldn't make that much of a difference, but often it does. |me think AFU beat CF| |me think CF score 0 goals|
|me think u make excuse|
|THE END|
That CF team also lost one of their better forwards after the first couple games so that probably didn't help their lack of scoring |

That CF team also lost one of their better forwards after the first couple games so that probably didn't help their lack of scoring So they lost one of their best forwards during the first couple of weeks and it just started impacting their play this past week?? I don’t know who should be more offended CF or AFU. The beauty of soccer is on any given day any team can win. It wasn’t CF’s day. Instead of trying to solve who should have won a game that’s already been played!! I’m trying to figure out why CF can’t keep players. Supposedly 6+ players left and are now at AFU and their “best forward” has left too? What’s going on with the CF 07s? One or two leaving it could be player error but 6+ and a coach? That’s got to be internal issues… |

Congratulations to AFU. It's high level soccer. Wins are not guaranteed in the ECNL. Maybe GA, but not ECNL. Would CF like another crack at AFU this year, of course. Would they win with their center back shutting down break-aways, who knows? Either way, its fun to see the girls play their hearts out. To quote Ripp, "in life, you are either winning or learning." Last weekend's outcome was great for both teams.

That’s got to be internal issues… I think you miss understood what I am saying. I personally am not impressed by the CF Platinum 07s. Individual talent for sure but team, good but not the best. No excuse here I think afu just beat them. Afu 07s are a good group that's not a push over at all |

That statement was never made or insinuated that's people reading way too much into an extra piece of information. They lost because AFU was better that day. But the state of the team is affected by a key offensive player leaving mid season and a key defensive player being unavailable. People leave teams for better fits, a desire to be somewhere that helps them improve, etc. Nothing to read in there. The 6 plus and coach was due to what CF did when the TH group went over a couple years ago. They brought in 9 or 10 players and the coach they wanted. CF cut players to make way and got rid of the coach to make way for the selected coach. Last year and/ or this year that team lost some more and added another 9. Afu has plenty of motivation on top of being a solid team to go in and win the game. Things caught up with Platinum because they played a pretty good team that's all. What's slightly disrespectful to the AFU team are people being surprised by the result. |

Since we live in a world of silo'ed youth soccer, how do these ECNL teams compare with the mlsnext squads, looks like SSA took down Atlanta United 4-1 The leagues appear to be fairly silo’d. I’m sure this is done to protect their brand. Unless you schedule friendlies or meet up in some random tournament they never play each other so all opinions are based on speculation. Same can be said for GA and ECNL. Imagine these teams playing each other and it being fairly even. Selling points are out the window. |

Only way I see to determine how ALL the local Atl teams stack against each other is that tournament 2-3 years ago where MLS NEXT and ECNL teams participate in.

Only way I see to determine how ALL the local Atl teams stack against each other is that tournament 2-3 years ago where MLS NEXT and ECNL teams participate in. True, I think you're referring to the Unite Youth Cup - www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta-united-launches-unite-youth-cupWhat a lovely idea it would be to have something similar that was open to both boys and girls. Refer to it as the *Sponsorship* Georgia Open Cup (akin to Lamar Hunt US Open Cup). No matter how many locations you have, you can only field one squad per age, sex, and club. As they would be automatic, MLS-Next, ECNL, and GAL would all be exempt from the requirement to qualify. To qualify, everyone else would need to compete in one of 4-6 areas. There are 6 categories of play because MLS-Next + ECNL-B equals 13 teams (12 clubs are represented). There are 4 levels of competition because ECNL-G + GAL equals 9 teams (7 clubs are represented). The additional play-in qualifiers are added, and now you have high-level tournament weekends built in that pit leagues against one another. Have them play at locations like the AU Training Grounds & GSP(great tacos). Bring in sponsorships, market to local, regional and national scouts and colleges. Have it run and operated by Georgia Soccer, making them relevant again. If sponsorship is done right, local teams won't have to pay but if they do, it won't be any more than what they currently pay for local tournaments. The soccer industrial complex benefits (marketing for clubs, vendors, medal-makers, trophy-makers, hotels, car rentals, content for this forum 🤭). One final request, would be to have the winning teams hoist a Big A$$ Trophy... |

You're not lying, there definitely could be some hurt feelings. But, like I've always said, we the consumers - players n parents, need to make a stand and have a say so in rejecting another "elite" money grabbing league and instead foster an environment of truly high level soccer. It's like the SCCL, at first it was intentionally exclusive, with SCCL-C, now I hear there are SCCL-P 1,2,3,4 maybe even SCCL - P5 levels. Seriously.... |

Unfortunately, many of felt the au cup was a money grab endeavor and added games to an already extremely congested fall schedule. (we were told we paid a team fee for entry) there was not much flexibility in changing game dates and times for us which made fielding our proper team a challenge.

My understanding is that it was Atl Utd’s 2009 team with some 2008 players. According to my son, who has a friend on that SSA team, AU played mostly 09 kids. AU went up 1-0 then played mostly their 09s after that. |

Last weekend's outcome was great for both teams. So, proving my point about the Any Given Weekend strength of ECNL: it looks like AFU's 07s lost this weekend to Alabama 0-1, a team CF Platinum beat last weekend 11-0. Again, kudos to all girls playing the game. |
