true that, offense is eye popping lacking. i say 15 - 0, i feel for kids on defense nva should pick them up

DCU doesn't have enough discipline or structure to score that many goals. Too many dribblers that dribble for no reason. Literally impossible with their style of play. Probably going to be a close but very ugly game.

So when substitutions are made during a game, where does the sub come from?

You're being an ass trying to throw mud on the kid's accomplishment which I'm 100% sure surpasses anything you've done in your life or will ever do.
Or your kid will ever do.

Like I said it's a great accomplishment. Just don't try and embellish to prop up DCUs academy.

I've forgotten more than you probably know....

Yeah, that's why you on dcum carrying out a vendetta against a MLS academy and it's kids.
Because you're a giant in the soccer galaxy

No one has any vendettas. Just won't allow a narrative about DCU to permeate our area that is completely false because it is ultimately detrimental to the kids and their opportunities as players. That is, that DCU is a quality operation when it is in fact not one.

Not saying anyone is a giant in the football world.. No one in America is.
But what I am saying is that I have enough experience in the sport, both here and abroad, to know what I'm talking.about with a level of certainty. What I know for sure, because I've seen you're type of attitude in parents for many years, is that you don't have much experience with the sport, playing or just generally, you don't have a high level athlete mentality just by how you formulate your arguments, and you're defending something because your kid is involved and you want to feel bigger than you are and than what the thing you're involved in is (DCU). It's about your feelings, not the reality of the situation.

I don't care about DCU because it isn't worth caring about. What I do care about is making sure that parents understand the reality of DCU so they don't make decisions with inaccurate information. It has nothing to do with DCU and all to do with leveling the playing field for parents who don't have access to information because none exists in the public realm. This thread is the only place, ANYWHERE, where DCUs shortcomings as an academy are laid out so comprehensively for all to see. You could never get this information from them, or anyone else really because they don't know themselves or even care to know because they only focus on the optics of the opportunity not the reality of it (like you).

You mean this is a place where some people misrepresent themselves as being knowledgeable and involved at the highest rungs of soccer because they figure, how would dcum parents know they're a fraud.

That aside, the anti-dcua axe grinding is filled with biased opinions laying out points that are circumstantial or presented out of full context without any substantial evidence or data or objective measurements.

Just a lot of 'I Say So'

There isn't a group of people on dcum promoting the DC academy as the best thing since slice bread.
The loud voices are the group shouting without provocation that DCU is the worst
Just because someone asks, where are you getting your crap from, doesn't mean they are Pro anything.

The entire US system and Every club/academy has significant shortcomings when it comes to delivering kids to the highest levels of international soccer.
No place in America is doing it!

Too many facts have been presented to offer them again. Keep pushing that bs all you want.

And so many are doing it poorly in the US, thats true, but DCU is one of the sorriest and poorest of the lot.

If 'Facts not in Evidence' was a response

Wow, this is harse both the predictions and views of the offense. Say what you say, 2 syc offenses going to trials w/DCU. Trevor sees something

[Anonymous]

Trevor should be looking for a job elsewhere. He clearly doesn’t know how to evaluate talent, let alone identify it. How can anyone take a man seriously when he gets chased out of games by neighboring clubs? And what kind of cyanide Kool-Aid are SYC parents drinking?

So he must not know talent

LOL if your kid has real talent no way they end up at DCU ever. DCU gets turned down by the players with real potential.

Has DCU start inviting players for next season's U14 team? (boys born on or before 2012?). I am just curious which clubs send players to DCU.

Oh, wait—pick me, pick me! I’d love to leave my school to join an organization that’s the laughing stock of MLS. Attending classes in a concession stand at a stadium sounds like a dream come true. And hey, maybe when I graduate, no college will accept my transcripts, and I’ll lose my scholarship because the school you forced—or “encouraged”—me to attend doesn’t meet basic academic standards. But knowing the scouting director’s wife is running the school really reassures me that I will be in good hands. Not only will my education suffer, but my soccer development will take a nosedive too. Sign me up!

Yes. They go to Achilles or Bethesda
Everyone knows that. Common knowledge.

Except for all the DCU kids going to D1 and Ivy League colleges, your statement would be correct 😂

LMAO lies lies lies. Where are they? DCU now wants to take credit for academic success. DCU does not handle recruiting at all or help with it.

[Anonymous]

Lmao!! Oh, absolutely, go ahead and take all the credit. Take credit for the academy director you ran off—the one who actually tried to fix this disaster but, of course, was never given the resources to succeed. Bravo. Then, take credit for the circus act you replaced him with—because who needs experience or qualifications when you have Ithaca College and house mom at revs on your résumé? That’s obviously the fast track to the big leagues.

And let’s not forget the legendary DOC with a résumé so underwhelming it makes a losing girls’ youth coach and a college assistant from a program that hasn’t been relevant in a decade seem like a top-tier hire. Oh wait that was his resume. lol Truly groundbreaking stuff.

Oh, and the scouting director? A true gem. Nothing screams “talent identification expert” quite like someone who looks like they haven’t seen soap in years and the highest level of experience was coach at the mount. Impressive credentials, really.

And as for the staff coaches—yeah, let’s just pretend nobody noticed the quiet exits from previous jobs due to ahem “interactions with players.” No red flags there at all. Fantastic work all around. Lmao

You really are past your wits end because of your kid getting rejected by the Academy

Are you so blinded by your emotional distress it hasn't crossed your mind that educated intelligent successful parents have kids at DCU?
Or you're assuming DC is taking advantage of underprivileged kids from low socioeconomic households with parents who don't speak English?


You do what you think is best for your kid and let them do what they want to do with theirs.
They obviously did well enough so far that their talented kids were chosen over yours.

DCUs role in any kid going to the ivy league or D1 is absolutely minimal to nothing. This in house schooling is totally unproven with DCU. Those kids were going to different high schools and probably would have gotten to the schools they did completely without DCU.

I agree with the PP. Leave a top public or private high school in the DMV to go to DCUs online school???!! So you can train more at DCU who has no idea what they are doing??? To each his own, but there is just no way. You're relying on DCU to educate your kids and teach them football which they have proven they can't do. In either discipline. I couldn't in my right mind sign my kid up for that.

I hope for the kids that are there DCU really does something for them but no one is holding their breath on that. And yes, the classroom is in the concession area at VA revolution. Ridiculous.

The fact that you think this is one person writing these posts is hilarious.
