2014-2015 Boys U12 Best Teams

[Unregistered]

Well, uh Valeo has their own game to play. But NU tied NEFC and Valeo tied WUP. So.....

Both teams are much better than Valeo.

Have either of these teams defeated a good u13 team or a top 20 u12 yet? CFC seems pretty solid, maybe NEFC can do better this weekend than WUP did.

You seem to know everything about gotsoccer points. Look it up!

Yes, whoever suggested a similar merger of NEFC and WUP was correct, hope that happens!

Think WUP and Valeo will play each other at EDP Cup????

Thanks for the suggestion. The answer is no, neither have playing on the big fiel, Valeo has 9 times.

Very nice soccer. Valeo players obviously possess better skill and quality.

However, CT team's defense is rather poor.

Happy New Year!

That's just another deflection like:
"GotSoccer points don't mean anything, you can get lots of points in poor tournaments and leagues"

and...

"oh, wait a minute, GotSoccer rocks now that we won our first real tournament."

and...

"we don't need to travel outside MA to develop our kids. teams should all come play us in Newton"

and...

"oh wait a minute, if you are not playing in the big leagues and tournaments on the Atlantic Sea Board your team and development philosophy stinks."

blah, blah, blah

Now it is, "NEFC and WUP can't play 11v11" Whatever you say.

Everyone who has paid attention to this age group knows NEFC and WUP are the top two. Valeo (only by combining with NU) maybe has now caught up. Maybe they have, maybe they haven't. We don't know yet. What we do know is Valeo can't claim anything substantial until they put up real results against these two. A one goal win three years ago and ties (followed by subsequent losses and in some cases convincing loses) don't make a convincing argument.

Actually he didn't his comment was on the CT team. You seem to have a problem watching more than thirty seconds of a video or reading three sentences before making a fool of yourself.

What part of NEFC was a semi-finalist in its own tournament does not compute? NU, essentially a town team, tied them in March and were finalists. Valeo tied WUP in March as well. Combined, NU/Valeo, won a pretty high level tournament a few weeks ago and are at the top of a U13 division. I don't see how playing against NEFC and WUP would validate Valeo's ability to play.

We still know that NEFC and WUP are better though.... OK.....sure, we can say that.

Yeah...ya think? 11-0 would definitely support your argument. But the CT still put up a fight until the end. Good for them.

Yeah! and your posting on talking soccer because you don't take it so seriously? Nice try!

Levels of seriousness

low level - read the blog get some information curious about what's going on youth soccer.

Med Level - read the blog and post some times to share information etc.

High Level - On the blog daily reading and posting getting upset every time some other team other than your sons gets any attention or recognition.

Then there's you! The worst kind of poster. Judgmental know it all. Mr. "I don't take this so seriously" I just post on here to educate the rest of you stupid soccer parents. I make statement like " When was the last time someone from MA made it to the pros. Case closed" With attitudes like that yes no one from MA will ever make the pros. The good thing is that you are the minority and there are many good people involved in youth soccer in MA and yes the level of soccer is getting better and will continue to get better but no thanks to you because "YOU JUST DON"T TAKE IT SO SERIOUSLY" I call BS on that one. It's probably more like you son isn't that good have to pick others. As a parent why wouldn't you want to film your kid doing something he loves regardless of his talent level.

Man, you pegged me! How did you manage that? I've volunteered within the MA soccer community for close to 15 years, in several different capacities. I have vast and varied experience with parents like you on either my own sideline, or the opponents. I'm supremely confident that 11 year olds are not on this forum reading these comments, so the charge that I'm demeaning children is specious, at best. As for pitying the parents, guilty as charged. I'm no know it all but I do possess a better sense of reality and self awareness than most of the Valeo posters here. I don't ever video a game. The thought of breaking down film at this age is troubling. Posting volumes of "highlight" videos to YouTube is juvenile. Judge me all you want but my contribution towards soccer in MA has always revolved around fresh air, teamwork, fitness and fun. I'll never understand you self-absorbed, boisterous parents. I hope you put as much effort into parenting as you do promoting.

4-0 against top 20 US u12 teams, 5-0 against top 25 u13 MA teams isn't "substantial" but winless combined against the same is? Are you ok?

The video that everyone is referring to is not a promotional video. Valeo apparently has a different philosophy than you do and feels that watching yourself play will help to make you a better player. My son identified his mistakes quite easily by watching himself and he had fun doing it.
