Chicago Fire
Last year’s champs, the Chicago Fire (6-2-0), finished the regular season on a four-game winning streak to claim their place in the 2013 Finals. With a plus-14 goal differential, best in the division, and only one less point earned than the divisional winners, SLSG, it’s apparent that two strong teams are headed out of the Midwest West.

Ironbound SC
Two teams from the North Atlantic East Division have emerged as 2013 finalists, Beachside SC of CT and Ironbound SC out of New Jersey.
Beachside SC of CT won the division with 17 points from a 5-1-2 record. Beachside was the most prolific scoring team in the division, netting 23 goals this season.
The other North Atlantic East qualifier, Ironbound SC (4-1-2), has a chance to equal Beachside on points in their final game of their season against Long Island Rough Riders, but it has already been decided that both teams will go through.
North Atlantic West Division
Parsippany SC
The second team out of the North Atlantic West Division, Parsippany SC, has enjoyed a great season. Perhaps a bit overshadowed by the colossal Reading United season, Parsippany has registered 20 points, third most in all of Super-20, and scored 27 goals, fourth most. Parsippany has certainly earned the right to compete at the end-of-season tournament.
Additional Super-20 League Finals qualifiers will emerge in the coming days as the regular season wraps up, as finalists from the Southeast, New England, and Midwest East divisions have yet to surface. They will join previous qualifiers Jr. Lone Star FC, Laredo Heat SC, Alamo SC, Texas Football Club, St. Louis Scott Gallagher, and Reading United AC at IMG in late July.

The 2013 Super-20 League Championship will be held America’s largest and most advanced multi-sport training and education complex. IMG Academy hosted a myriad of soccer team training camps in recent years, including clubs such as the Seattle Sounders, D.C. United, the Columbus Crew, Sweden’s Malmö FF, as well as the U.S. Women’s National Team preparing for the London Olympic Games and the Antigua & Barbuda Men’s National Team preparing for World Cup qualifying.
The 2013 Super-20 League Championship will serve as an important player identification event for MLS and the PDL, as well as for U.S. National Teams. Sporting Kansas City will have a scout on site for the event, and several PDL coaches will be in attendance to scout talent along with USL National Technical Director Peter Mellor, a longtime USSF Staff Coach.
