Is that a tournament? How many academies MLS clubs are there? |
Don't think it's a tournament, looks like it's just NYCFC. Numerous other academy teams went overseas once or twice this year, has DCU ever went? |
And to think we're just at mid February. Wow Name the numerous academies and where they went this year Other than your burning need to keep up with the Jones's, what's the real impact here? |
Nah, I'm not playing fetch for you because you're too lazy to look through the thread. The academies that sent their teams overseas are all listed, along with social media posts announcing it. Yes just keep DCU kids from overseas experience, it doesn't really make an impact right? |

Been covered in the thread. Keep thinking that international exposure to a higher level of football means nothing. This is also the same line of thinking that keeps you believing DCU is an acceptable academy. It's crazy because you're holding yourself AND your kid back with this thinking. Good job. |
I believe the question was asking you to qualify and quantify exactly the impact of spending a couple days exposed to higher level football? You're deflecting by making up stuff the PP never said and giving your unqualified ignorant opinion on what you think they're doing or not doing with their kid |

| Usynt u16 Feb camp has zero DCU kids but there is a kid from a local non MLS academy. The fact that a local club has more players in a youth national team camp than the area MLS academy is a complete embarrassment for DCU. Not only did this player stiff arm DCU but they were also successful getting visibility elsewhere in a system that is stacked against non MLS academies. Philly union 3 kids. DCU is honestly.pathetic. |
| This means that there is a kid that has national team potential that is 1. Lives in the area and is Not in DCUs system which is a failure in scouting and recruiting (or they knew what everyone else knows, that DCU is a dead end) and 2. Probably doesn't need DCU at this point. Big wake up call for DCU to be honest. US Soccer is telling them to do better with a talent rich region. |

what's a usynt id session?
does this mean this kid is by unanimous vote is the best player in his position in that age group from the dmv region? |
I have zero personal experience with DCUA, but not every academy has a player on that roster. I checked. I suppose they are pathetic too? And in any case, why do you care whether DCUA is or isn't unless your kid is in the academy (and if they are, and you have a legit axe to grind, you should man/woman up and take it up with DCUA directly, rather than trashing them on an anonymous forum). f you have such concerns about the state of DCUA, and are such an expert, why are you sharing your knowledge here and not with the club? |
and don't you dare for a second pretend that you are just being altruistic and want to share what you know with the poor, sad, and stupid DMV families who otherwise are ruining their kids' futures by signing with DCUA. You don't give a sh*t. |
It's not an ID session, it's the actual camp. Just saying. |
That kid is talented. DCUA probably skipped over him because of size. When he hits a growth spurt, DCUA will regret not picking him up. On to bigger and better things, happy for him. |
