    Running up the score

    Holy Cow! NEFC U14 Elite girls 17-0 over Aztecs? Is this correct? I'm all for letting kids shoot but this seems over the top to me!

    I guess the big defender finally got her goal. Her parents cheered loudly

      if you don't like it, go back to maple. I'm sure SSS won't run up the score on you

            The other teams job is to stop them. Not NEFC's problem.

              Play the game at competitive level is not running the score. For me this running the score sh!t is losers' creation and excuse. Clubs aside, these different leagues system is not helpful for US soccer. If they are trying to follow Europe in birth year cr@p they need also to copy their unification of the leagues and divisionalize soccer correctly. Otherwise we will these scenarios repeating over and over again.

                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!

                  You need to st.f.u. This is totally out of bounds and is detrimental to both teams.

                    what is the 'fine line' or the 'out of bounds' marker?
                    5-0
                    7-0
                    9-0
                    11-0???

                      The more youth soccer I see, the less I can tell about "class" and running up the score. What I mean is that you can have a 10-1 game, where the winning team kept playing, never went into "keep-away", the losing team got some chances, and in the moment to moment of the game there was some decent soccer. You can also have a 4-0 game where the winning team got the lead, parked the bus, played possession, cleared every deep ball out of bounds and both teams really stopped playing soccer. The distinction is more subtle than "stop scoring". Some of the most humiliating, hard-to-watch soccer I've seen has been when superior teams ping the ball around against a losing team that has given up the fight. From the losing perspective, I think it is harder to chase around a "keep away" ball than it is to treat every possession as a new clean slate. Is there a line somewhere--9-0? 12-0? I'm really not sure there is. (PS: My kids' teams have been on the losing end of blowouts FAR more often than the winning end, though I've been on both sides.)

                        Reality is tough to swallow. Work harder in practice and make sure you don't get humiliated again.

                          Seriously, if that is the best that Aztec can field, whose fault is that? What do the Aztec parents want, NEFC to lay down so their little Mia's could feel like the game was close? If their kids get beat by 17 goals you all should be asking your club what the hell they are doing instead of blaming the competition for beating them that badly. Shame on all of you. Losing sux, but it isn't the other team's job to make you look better than you are
