Could top teams LHGCL beat most JDL and bottom ECNL teams?

I’ve seen a lot of JDL teams and some ECNL teams play. My question is, would the top from LHGCL defeat most JDL squads and the bottom tier ECNL teams?
I’ve seen some weak JDL teams that are just low end LH squads.
Do some of these JDL squads run and hide from the top LH teams? Why do a lot of these JDL teams play in lower brackets when entering tourneys?

Yea so what's your point? What are you trying to really say FCDallas.

IMO, yes. Heck, people on the other thread are saying watch out for LPE to sneak up on some DA teams during the international cup. While that seems a bit far fetched to me, there is no question that the top 4 in LH could at a minimum be competitive with the ECNL teams.

Why do they hide? There’s no upside for them. If they lost it would be a disaster. If they won, so what.

Because a few clubs say JDL is now the premier league, it doesn't mean that's a fact. Look into your screen name, that will lead you to where the propaganda starts. If someone tells you an apple is a banana, does it taste like a banana now.

The real irony is you "The pied piper of propaganda" show up whenever propaganda or FCD are mentioned. We already have Big Ego, I guess we can also call you PPP or triple P for short. I kind of like triple p. Does it taste like a banana triple p?

Tremendous analysis foxy ... we'll see if it sticks.  

What you may find even more ironic is that from my standpoint, most of what I do here is defend against misleading propaganda from the vast (mostly either scorned by the system or generally misinformed) majority.

If you can show me where I've mislead you or anyone else here, that'd be fantastic  

What says you Big E? How is your JDL experience? Do you think the top LH teams could hang with the JDL and ECNL teams as the original thread put forth?

Come now triple P....Why must you assume anyone has been scorned or misinformed. When you push the untested against the known, might that make you a little brainwashed and possibly misinformed by pushing what is really just marketing material. As far as JDL, I think most now know the answer and would probably prefer the boring old system of building teams and competing.

We all know Big E is wearing FCD underwear to bed at night.

Absofrigginlutely!  I'd say a solid handful of teams at LH could not only hang with, but beat some of the teams playing exclusively in JDL.  We are talking about U13 and under here so ...

As I've mentioned in the past, in my opinion, the JDL still hasn't (and it sounds like it never will) come to fruition ... I did not get a chance to become what it was initially meant to become due to some involved not buying in to the concept.  People by nature are resistant to change, and I think we can all see that couldn't be any more true in this market in particular.  

That being said ... I'm sure this will come as no surprise to some here, but my kids and I have had nothing but positive experiences with JDL.  Must be that we just got lucky

I think they absolutely bought into the concept (play exclusively the top teams and not the bottom ones). Except the acronym lost the J & L and added an A.

It would be great if the JDL and LH teams combined forces. Would make for one very competitive league vs 2 that are competitive sometimes and not sometimes. Having girls dispersed to 18 different leagues just creates an environment where nobody really knows which way to go.

There was a time when this was the case, until the big clubs decided they didn't want to play with the independents anymore, and thought by creating an "exclusive" league, they would get even bigger share of the pie.

Yep...

"In the name of developement..."

Was or is there a problem with all these changes going on year after year. Yes. Hurting development? Doubtful, but truly annoying.

very annoying!!

You people are just Misinformed or have been scorned and don't understand the reasoning behind all these moves.  Bigego will be here soon to enlighten you.

I am sure you could say the games would be 15 min long, have only 10 a year and say it was for development. I guess you could really say anything is for development. Common sense tells you its not.

Ahhhfirmative foxy --

This ...

"until the big clubs decided they didn't want to play with the independents anymore", and "they would get even bigger share of the pie."

... are all kinds of "misinformed".  Dilly, Dilly!

Thank you for setting SD69 straight. He too lives in a misinformed universe and must feel scorned by what the big clubs have done to him.

Big E: "No DA for you!, you misinformed dolts."

I’ll have to disagree with you on this one... to say all of this change was for the betterment of US soccer play!??! I just can see how. I mean, maybe it hasn’t come to pass yet.

Platforms and proposals or not....I just want my daughter playing at the highest level that’s the only reason I support. After that, could have left well enough alone.

Forget DA for the moment, can anyone say what the highest level is without a shadow of a doubt?
