Is this a typo on the NPL New England website? They really didn't just put up 17 goals??
NEFC Elite (U14) - 17
Aztec (U14) - 0
Totally classless. What a joke NB is! This is a great team, everyone knows that. At about 7-0, I'm sure it was obvious to all involved that NEFC would win this game. A real coach would tell the kids to possess. Period. The parents on that team should be completely embarrassed. How's that "NPL is equal to ECNL" competition working out for you? NEFC Elite may beat an ECNL team on occasion, but never,ever a 17-0 drubbing!

If the games were as long as NPL games, the final score probably would be in double digits. How's all the competition is in ECNL working for you?

How does possess help kids develop. I know what you mean and it its excessive but to just tell kid to possess and not score is almost as bad as the score, perhaps worse
Were these two "A" teams? If so then at that level the onus really should be on Aztec to field a better team than one that loses by 17 goals. At U14 this isn't supposed to be Rec soccer. That's an awful score and if the game was really that one sided then why is everyone complaining about NEFC not pulling off the dogs instead of questioning what the Aztec's are doing? These parents that are complaining about the score are really just making excuses for their team being that poor, who's fault is that really? This thread is just another example of the watering down of club soccer.
Just love the NEFC loyalists. If Stars did this, the exact same people would rant on for weeks about it.
How soon people forget. Once upon a time they did lay embarrassing loses on other teams like this and with some frequency too. The real issue is now that they don't have the fire power to beat teams like that anymore so now suddenly it's time for everyone to be all chivalrous. That's more than a little hypocritical.
What the hell is going on with the Aztec's? Clearly things are going in the wrong direction up there. That's a shame.

Wow, BTDT, you have really gone off the deep, deep end. Don't think you have any clue what you just wrote and what you are ignoring in the process. Sometimes common decency is bigger than your personal missions on TS. PLEASE seek help.
poor parents, signing up for NPL and finding out your kids cant cut it. Lose with some grace, i'd rather a team smash me via score than pass around for the entire game.

You're a moron. No offense, but one of the dumbest posts I've ever read.

As opposed to the development kids get from no combination play, and just kicking it long behind the backs and winning the race to the ball? That really helps to prepare kids at the next level.

Very sad to hear this.
The kids didn't learn anything
The parents are embarrassed
The league is confused
The clubs don't know what to do
