Do parents really come on and puff their chests about wins in little kids' games?
I can accept a list, but bragging about a win? This is a real thing?

^ we were at our D's town game recently, one of opposing players hit the cross bar after getting a clean break away behind keeper, open net. Some of our parents laughed loudly. I scolded, mentioning she's just 11, no class.

NEFC in the top flight did pretty well. SSS did well and hung tough vs PDA's top team. In 2nd division the Mass teams mostly did somewhat poorly but please be aware these were smallish fields that really suited boot ball. Goalies were punting all way to opposing box. Size was a big factor in the teams that did well.

PDA were always the favorites regardless of field size.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWouldn't small fields benefit a team who can pass and move the ball around? Bigger fields would give space behind the defense to play long ball. Both teams play on the same fields good teams should be able to adjust. Saying the goalies who touch the ball less than the rest of the players is the reason for a scoreline is not accurate.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPda was the favorite, agreed. But the fields were too congested and the girls were too big to be on these small fields. Not blaming that for the losses but it was a crowded field and it probably put nefc at a disadvantage because they couldn’t move the ball to space that wasn’t there. Actually helped teams with weak mid fields because punt and chase would work well. Still a good tournament.
