Our local friends still clock in at the bottom

So there are standings now...just some AI version of it.

The only one who cares about the scores are the coaches at SYC. They wait around till the last game is played and they post their updates on social media.

Get off his lazy ass and email MLSNext to ask instead of complaining here like a pre-teen.

What is your obsession? Is your kid even in MLSNext? Makes no sense you start yammering about this months after the fact. Does someone need attention?

They have the schedule on the website which shows the scores.
They don't have irrelevant standings

If your kid playing, then you should know.
If your kid isn't playing then ??????????

I think someone already answered what MLS's reasoning presumably is (no post season, therefore, no point). You could also email the powers that be if you want an official answer. And if you really need to see the standings, you can still find the results and calculate it. It doesn't seem like it's anything nefarious or dramatic, so it really doesn't seem like a cause for concern. And even if they did end up getting rid of younger age groups, that isn't a sky is falling situation, either. There are plenty of alphabet soup leagues.

Especially for bench warmers on top winning teams, ask yourself, are your practices and training sufficient to keep up and get better? Are you allowed to maximize the minutes you do get of play?

Some folks are so busy focused on the scoreboard, they don't realize for 2 years their kid isn't developing while the team has winning record.
Then kid is number 25 on a 22 player roster depth chart

So true!

Can you be any sillier and more dramatic while showing you're a suburban soccer mom who doesn't understand the context of early ages development

Showing standings of U13 and U14 has zero value to the public
If your kid won a U13 game this past weekend and you want the world to know, post on TikTok or IG

Totally agree. The Drama Queen has arrived.

Isn’t it bc there is no post season so it kind of is irrelevant?
