Originally posted by Unregistered View Post9-1 and 6-1 scores in the NPL Championship Finals involving NEFC U14G and U16 G is a perfect illustration of the earlier point; that NPL Finals is not very legit.
Obviously NEFC understands that, which is why their Elite teams are headed to ECNL next season as Boston Breakers.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDouble edge sword. NEFC elite teams pretty much win all competitions they are involved. You name it: NPL, casl, PDA, GPS , etc... Yes the league may not be very strong but NEFC makes it also clear that they are one of the best clubs are n the country. Not up for discussion.

Who's up for planning this?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPoor comparison. There will always be inequities in international play, especially in group play. The point is that the lower performing countries seldom get out of the group stage. We're talking here about club leagues at the youth level that are all drawing players from the same league, so one would hope that the lower performing teams have been screened out by the time you reach the "National Finals."

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt would be great to have a year-end championship that brings together NPL, ECNL, USYS, DAP all into a single game series. Could limit it to these 4, host a semi-final and a final over the course of 2 days. No hype - just play the game.

You know as well as I do that there is not enough inertia by anyone involved to make this vital event happen.

Would the teams actually play if a venue was organized. You'd only have 4 age groups U14, 15, 16, 17, 4 teams in each group, that's only 16 games. To be honest, that's not a whole lot of organizing. Would it need to be sanctioned by anyone? What would NPL, ECNL, or DAP and USYS say to those teams that played - would it put them at odds once the champion were crowned? It would certainly give one of them bragging rights for a year.
We could call it the TS Soccer Crown
