Why NEFC wants to hide - 10 reasons

[Guest]

Because they're the Emporer with No Clothes.
They are desperate for the parents on Girls side to not find out.

1. They are a boys club. They turned down ECNL Girls so they could retain MLS Next for the boys.

2. Their league is no longer 1b. GA is a pure B league now. And GA will probably lose more of their top clubs next Feb.

3. They know that P4 and mid major college scouts will stop attending their events once their current crop of recruits are done. Maybe they'll stick with the 08 class but the rest are toast.

4. They know that their parents pay more than many ECNL parents. California, Florida, California, Virgina. Doesn't even include other GA showcases or ones like Jeff cup, etc.

5. NB knows his coaching staff has been gutted by Stars. PW and LM in particular.

6. NB has to personally coach the 2011s EVERY year or they'll go elsewhere. "Hey Nick, sorry but Steve is just too damn incompetent and an ahole to boot."

7. Travel in the conference is obnoxious. Rochester and Syracuse, and on top of that the games suck.

8. They are now competing with Bayside and RI Surf instead of Select. They are in danger of losing to their own north shore former DPL teams. How embarrassing.

9. The new BC coach had his pick of the crop for his new assistant coach. He chose a Stars coach over nefc.

10. Talent has left the GA teams. They are really trying to hide this point. Best high school age players have gone ecnl already. The ones that didn't....tried and likely will again. The 11s will leave in droves early spring.

All valid but still NEFC, Bolts and IFA are the only clubs that could positively represent the new england region. Yes Stars is great on the Girls side but i'm not sure where their boys side is going. Seacoast and Valeo lack organization in their structure, coaching and managment is kinda incomprehensible.

Why is Stars penalized in your assessment for being weaker on the boys side while NEFC and Bolts do not get penalized for being weak on the girls side?

What would possess someone to wake up and write this. Disgruntled parent?

Its the same knob that writes something like it every couple of weeks. Then they respond to their own posts with agreement.

NEFC parents just ignore them becaise it doesnt matter whats said or how well the teams do. Super knob will just look for something somewhere to support their nonsense agenda.

I get being proud of your kid + praising them for doing well. What this parent is doing is different. Theyre on the offensive with a negativity campaign. Their overall goal is to try and get talent to not play at NEFC or more specifically GA because they know that GA and NEFC are doing well and are a threat to ECNL.

Whats funny is eventually poof all the posts will dissappear all at once. This will be because crazy parents kid will have been cut from the ECNL team/league they worked so had marketing for. (For free)

[Guest]

But why would super knob care so much about NEFC? I can’t imagine a scenario where your kid made it to ECNL and you’re still going to care about GA. They should be happier, right?

[Guest]

Knob's kid got cut from GA and is now riding the ECRL bench. That's why.

[Guest]

11s are already reaching out to Stars and Select. Some parents are raising hell about the last tournament. Coach throwing his team into club politics or something . Looks like Select and Stars are gonna pick some up after the New Year."

They don't know anything about GA other than NEFC is a good club and seems to do well. Because of this they are the enemy.

Reguarding why they care. As I said before GA is a legitimate threat to ECNL and the teams and clubs will continue to get better over time.

The ECNL parents are spending big money to potentially get their kids into college for free with a soccer scholorship. They know there's a limited number of spots available so they're trying to discourage you from being a contender.

Don't worry about all the nonsense. Just play in whichever league is high level and practices close to your house. I promise if your kid has talent coaches will find them.

If GA is all that, why did NeFC try for years to get out? Why did SSS bail when they got the opportunity?

NEFC is really the only club in NE that is reasonably strong for both boys and girls.

Because at one point, NEFC had boys ECNL so of courseit would make sense to get the girls in that league. JD at Stars continually blocked it out of fear. Eventually NEFC got mlsn for boys so at that point, ECNL for girls was never going to happen. Not really complicated.

Great but I have girls and don’t care if Stars is weak on the boys side. My girls don’t want to settle for ‘reasonably strong’.

Non answer. The wanted ECNL because GA is a pig with lip stick. Select bailed in a heartbeat.
