      I agree. It's an accomplishment that the club should be proud. Having been around before the advent of the ECNL, I know there are teams outside the ECNL that were quite good. Syosset, who gave the Stars and Scorpions teams with National team players fits, comes to mind. And as we've seen, some ECNL clubs just aren't up to par.
      Some NBA , NHL, MLB, NFL, teams just aren't up to par and yet they are still better than the next level down . Every league in this country suffers the same problem. What's your point?

        U13 - 1st in NPL league play and must win Regionals to get to Nationals
        U14 - Heading to Nationals
        U15 - Heading to Nationals
        U16 - Heading to Nationals
        U18 - Heading to Nationals

        Regardless of what league people like or don't like, this is a very impressive feat. It would be great for MA soccer if some of these teams could bring back a National Championship.

        Congratulations NEFC!!
        Do I have it straight that these teams only need to play 6 or 7 league games to qualify for US Club Nationals? Against GPS, Yankee, SDA, Aztecs, Bayside, Seacoast and Oakwood.?? Is it that easy to qualify?

          Yes. I don't like them.

            Your response was carefully constructed, and you should be credited for that, but it does skirt around the main argument from the NEFC point of view, which is that those leagues are flawed in the same way the ECNL is because the laggards are not subject to relegation.

            That is the source of NEFC's primary beef with the ECNL; not that it is a poor quality league. If it were, why would they keep seeking admission? For them, the issue is that it's a closed league and they continue to be on the outside looking in. That is what galls them to no end.

              And who would begrudge them that feeling? When you have a product that is superior to a lot of other ECNL clubs, it is going to be frustrating. It's silly that ECNL won't let NEFC in because they would ultimately make the league stronger and would probably bring an ECNL National Championship back to MA.

                Galls them to no end? Seems as though BM was a year late in his coup. Sometimes timing matters more than money. He knew what was up when he created the club.

                  Um, an ECNL National Championship obviously goes somewhere. Why would the league be particularly concerned about whether that championship goes to a Mass. club?

                    Huh? There were two points. One was to point out that the league would be stronger with NEFC and the other point was that NEFC could potentially bring a National Championship to MA. Believe it or not, I support teams from MA and so any club that brings a National Championship back to MA, is a good thing for soccer in this state.

                      Not really sure BM had a choice. As a new club at the time of ECNL formation, NEFC didn't yet have the the history or pedigree that would have been necessary for them to successfully apply, as Stars and Scorps did, for ECNL membership in the first year or two of the league.

                      After that, geographic distribution of both member and applicant clubs within the ECNL conferences and divisions started to play a bigger role, as the league structure had to grow in such a way that paired Saturday / Sunday games could continue to be supported, with each club being able to manage travel to away weekends, and host home weekends for pairs of visiting clubs, while keeping distances between Sat and Sun games somewhat manageable for the visiting clubs. Once Stars and Scorps locked up Eastern MA, and with no other legitimate options in the area to pair NEFC with, wasn't the die was more or less cast?

                        Not from NEFC. Actually opposing club, but this comment is idiotic.
                        Some of their teams are top notch right now for any league and FYI the JV league called NPL
                        is as good as ECNL at certain regional levels.

                          This is probably one of the best post explaining why NEFC is not in the ECNL. I do not think it is a conspiracy theory against NEFC, just poor timing. NEFC would not have even been this far along without the help of the Scorpion teams when BB came to NEFC. That was the game changer for both clubs. NEFC stock went up and Scorpions went down.

                              "Huh?" is right. You still don't get why this makes no sense.

                                A little exercise such as checking the rosters of those teams BB "brought" to NEFC will automatically refute the idea that NEFC is successful because of those teams.
