Maybe you should take a look at the teams playing in the FIFA Club World Cup academies and see if their U13 kids are tiny midgets

Good point. I just watched Arsenal U11 1st team scrimmage on youtube and those lads were huge!

Are those syc kids ginormous or is the coach just a wee pocket sized elf?

They played well! Congrats indeed!

QoP is a new score created and calculated by MLS Next. So the Achilles U13 team played 32 games this season -- 3 wins, 1 tie, 28 losses. But their QoP ranking -- which was obviously better than their win/loss record -- got them a spot in the Premier level (2nd tier) of the MLS Next Cup. Who knows if the QoP rankings are valid?

Achilles will likely lose all their games. But with great quality.

Good call, clown. Achilles FC won the Round of 32. Achilles FC won the Round of 16. Achilles FC lost in the Quarterfinals.

Now please, place the dunce hat on your head, pop a binky in your mouth, and go sit in the corner.

Kudos to SYC for winning the Championship bracket and TSF in New Jersey for winning the Premier Bracket. MLSNext Mid-Atlantic U13 is a strong Region. Oh, and congrats to Alexandria as well. Had a really tough first match right out of the gate (Orlando I think) but played well thereafter.

Overall a great experience for the kids.

This certainly wasn't the case for this coach.

I appreciate a club/team that uses its entire bench. Because at this stage, it’s about development. Our subs have definitely gotten a lot better and earned their playing time and teammates trust.

I love this too. It really is about development up until 15-16 years old. The coaches that do not get it are not gonna get it no matter what you do and the ones that do get it develop talent and contribute to this beautiful game We all love.

Not cool to bash the kids

Wait, is this the same kids that lost 28 times? You gotta be kidding me.

you're seriously trying to justify talking like this about 11, 12, 13 year old kids?

I think this might be the Achilles FC stalker. Their DC was not given a shot on the 2011 squad (I believe) a couple years ago. Since then, no topic is taboo for them to dump on as it relates to Achilles.

For a boutique club, they are doing fine. Not sure why all the hate.

You don't know what you are talking about. DCUM is filled with negative comments about Achilles beginning in at least 2020 through today. If you don't understand why there is so much anger towards the club, then you don't know what has gone on and continues to go on there. Boutique club?! Not even close.

No. I’m pretty sure it’s you. Thanks for the reminder because it was around COVID time.

We love it there. Sorry you missed out.

this is actually fascinating and brilliant if they are using the whole bench. I wonder if the GA girls will do the same. My daughter had an ecnl coach that seemed to carry a this mindset of development. Was ahead of his time.

Curious to see how these teams stack up in the future.

Congrats

Haters boomerang sometimes. Just saying

Well, it’s still around and growing with additional MLSNext teams. 🤷🏽‍♀️
