| Okay so…. SYC is not in MLS Next. They’re in the MLS Next Intra-League. The only academy SYC will play is DC United. If DC United doesn’t take any SYC players, that shows you just how poorly SYC is doing. The purpose of MLS Next Intra League is to move played in MLS academies. |
blah blah blah, dude go away. Move on with your life. |
You don’t understand what is going on with the league. They also play Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union at all age groups. The MLS academy matches are in addition to regional schedules. |
It reflects pretty poorly on SYC girls who may as well not exist as far as the club is concerned |
Agreed, people keep getting confused about the league vs. intra-league on the MLS Next website. If you look at it, you will see everyone plays everyone else twice each year. One at home, one away. Everyone that is in their division. The local division is Mid-atlantic. DCU red bull and union are in that mid-atlantic division and play each other and every other team in the mid atlantic division twice. one counts as league the other as inter-league. They split up the games between league and inter-league just to confuse everyone I guess. but there is no other secret MLS NEXT league where only DCU is going out to secretly play other MLS pro team's academies. You are either in or out. This isn't an ECNL vs. ECNL-R situation. At least not today. |
Well not at all age groups, since those clubs don't have teams at U16 or U19 age groups. And DCU doesn't have U13, U14 or U19 teams. |
I noticed where SYC teams are at when you order it by “wins” and “goals scored” |
Explains why SYC is somewhat competitive at those two age groups and U15 and up falls off. |
“Blah blah blah”? That must have struck a chord with you. |
Wait, I thought you wanted girl parents to leave the thread. |
No it doesn’t. Bethesda is the top team in U13 mid Atlantic and one of the top nationally, both bethesda and SYC play Red Bulls and Philly Union, and SYC just beat bethesda. You don’t know what you are talking about so stop embarrassing yourself. The absence of DCU doesn’t make either of those teams great. They are really good period. The presence of dcu would not explain why SYC is not doing great, unless syc were losing all of its players to dcu. This has already been explained elsewhere, and if you don’t get it, you won’t and probably ought to stop infecting this board and your family and the gene pool with stupidity. |
X beat Y and Y beat Z therefore SYC is the best! Do the U13 and U14 thing. Leave post-puberty development to the professionals. |
You're wrong about there not being "another league" where only DCU goes out to play other MLS pro team's academies. The U15 and U17 DCU teams play a large number of games against many of the other MLS academies from Toronto in the north to Chicago in the west to Orlando in the south - games which non-DCU teams do not play. This doesn't happen at U16 because most MLS academies don't have a U16 team. It's not quite as split as ECNL and ECNL-R - but there is definitely a two tier league. |
Imagine saying best 12 year olds and thinking you can get away with it smh lol |
And imagine saying that kids who are not near the top at 12 are somehow going to be so much better in two or three years than players who are on top u13 teams right now. We know things change. But they don’t change that much among top players. Every one of the top players at DCU and elsewhere were top players at this age. |
