Coach knows how to win

They have very good talent - the coach isn't playing it's the kids. Sounds like a bitter parent from Real lol

Real has 3 former players from Liverpool, they know how to win fa. They did it before.

It seems you forgot that FA has former Bloomfield players and they know how to kill Liverpool...they have done it many times before.

FA was just too good for Real. The real final was the semifinal. FA absolutely put on a clinic against them in the final.

2nd half clinic for sure. Real scored first and it was 1 -1 at half. FA dominated the 1st 15 of the 2nd half putting 5 in about 10 minutes.

No worries there, I don’t expect many from this FA team to stick around.

Why would a player leave a great team to go to a lesser team just to play in a league. There are many more opportunities like soccer tournaments, like Delco, Supercopa and state cups to play in. If you go to a lesser team, you can play in MLS Next but you will not do well in those other tournaments. Why would anyone want that? Is MLS Next really that important?

It’s not about the kids leaving FA to join weaker teams it’s about the top kids wanting to play against top level competition in the highest league possible at that age. And unfortunately as good as the FA team currently is they cannot play in the highest league. It’s out of their control. So therefore kids will ultimately leave so they can keep playing against the redbulls and others…

Why can't FA play in the top league? If they are so good like many people here say, why wouldn't they allow them in this league?

Is playing in MLS Next the only way to play against top competition? What about tournaments?

My kid is moving on to MLS Next . No way he is staying at a club that does not have MLS Next because the team is good. In fact I have moved him from one MLS Next club to another because the other club recruited him and it was a good fit for him. If Union, Red Bulls or NYCFC comes calling and it’s a good fit for him, the offer will be considered . You have to play with and against the best to have a chance . I am sorry I don’t see that happening with EDP or any other league for boys. I believe competition is everything any yes they only play Red Bulls twice per year but every MLS Next Club is heading to California in December for MLS NEXT fest which is exposer you wouldn’t be available at a club that does not have mls next. Happy World Cup friends.

Don't listen to this guy.

Both NY Redbulls teams didn't make it into the final of the Juventus Boston tournament. NYCFC A team did, very interesting. Does anyone know the outcome of the final?

NYCFC B team playing one bracket lower, didnt make it to the final either. What excuses does RB have this time? Did they bring all their 2013 players, playing 2 years up?

Those Liverpool players made a big difference, didn't they? Real scored off a deflected shot early when they had the wind at their back and that was it. Rarely got past midfield in the 2nd half.

Don't know. Maybe MLS Next clubs want to keep out competitors and hope to lure their players away. Much easier to do that than to develop your own. Based on the U12 Acela league, there are a number of not very impressive MLS Next teams. How do they become so good one year later?

The youth development system in this country seems to change every few years, so who knows how long the current system will last.
