Wait, wasn't the NEFC guy on here a few weeks ago bragging that they weren't bragging that they were finalists in Arizona?

I'll tell you one thing. Bethesda is certainly not all that. NEFC is much better. Much. Wish we could play them more often. Although I might be getting a little soft playing all those easy games.

Correction they might be getting a little soft.

You are. NEFC is a very good team but top 10 in US? Absolutely no way. Keep playing the soft schedule, certainly won't help team close the gap.

NEFC just beat Bethesda 1:0 last Nov.

Valeo only scored 6 goals in 4 games in a weaker bracket while WUP scored 11 in a tougher bracket. It only scored 1 goal in total during the whole WUP tournament last Nov against FSA, NEFC, and WUP. It seems Valeo can win some games but may not be interesting to watch. Does Valeo have any good strikers?

Yes I agree that NEFC is much better than Bethesda.

Wait until you see the movie of the Valeo vs Bethesda game. You will agree that the better team lost. Guaranteed.

sorry, but if you lost you werent better....maybe if you play them five more times you might beat them four times, but when you played them you lost so you werent better. Keep on believing you were if it makes you feel better.

NEFC and Valero lost 6-0 to Bethesda and you morons claim you are much better than them? Do you have any idea how many teams you squeaked by that think they are much better than you? Valeo can't score and does not have great athletes-they have very few legitimate academy type kids.

I saw the WUP goals against Lehigh. Lehigh players watched while your forward stood in front of their goal and shot it in--several times. It looked like they gave up. We can watch that movie too.

True. Not a U12 parent but saw this game. Valeo U12's played very well. Had possession most of the time. Bethesda's first goal was from one of many ref bad calls. Bethesda kid dragged our mid fielder down and the ref called it on Valeo.

Bethesda started to play kick and run. Very few passes completed. Their second goal was at the very end of the game. Valeo had the ball. Bethesda fell on top of one of Valeo players. Ref called it on Valeo (this was a recurring theme.) The ball was kicked across the field. Defense broke down and they scored. Other than that, Bethesda had a few good shots. Valeo was on Bethesda's half almost the entire game. Bethesda took Valeo players out in the box several times with no calls by the refs. One elbowed a striker in the back right in front of the goal and the player flew into the net. Ref let it go.

Every team has games like this. It's too bad that EDP did not train their refs better considering they are the "highest ranked tournament" in the country. Our game had an equally bad ref. Almost cost us our game. It is frustrating to watch unfortunately.

ok, so the "excuse in a box" machine is really working..i notice you said "our" team so your opinion clearly is biased...at first the excuse was that the game was on grass not turf..the second was that their were injuries, the third was that the referees totally blew the game...do i have that right ? ....Listen, you don't have to make excuses...every top level team will lose sometime, and the main reason is that the opponent got the better of them on that day. No big deal, and excuses arent warranted, even on this site with these knuckleheads.

I am not a U12 parent but do refer to any team as "us." I don't really care besides wanting our club to do well. I was just giving my view, not excuses. I probably had a few of the calls not quite right in their descriptions, but the gist of it was in my post. I stand firm on my overall impression.

U13? I saw that game. Horrible ref. Just horrible.

I found the refs to be pretty good. But a few bad eggs can ruin a good game.

I think the OP was confusing your last line's description of your kids game (U13, right) Well the U11 parents were there too.

Valeo coach mixes it up. There is no need to rack up the score. It is better to be challenged the entire, even against a weaker team. WUP and NEFC (more WUP) coaches choose to rack up scores without changing much. WUP had the same kid up top the entire tournament. Just look at the Needham tournament results for NEFC.
