Where's DCUA at?

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?

Where's DCUA at?

That might answer the question of why no Red Bulls are in the USYNT camp this week.

Club over Country is an interesting take.

What about the other 13 academies not represented at this particular camp?

They're represented in the other age groups on the national team. What about DCU?

Name them and the national teams

More importantly, which national team is your kid on?

Go Google it yourself. Answer my question first, how about DCU?

Then tell us where all of them currently over 18 years old are today

What about the kids who were too good for DCUA and went to Barca and out West to better academies etc? How come they didn't make it?

So confusing

Kid from Achilles didn't make the Bundesliga. He's in the youth academy of a Bundesliga team. Very different. International players usually don't show up in domestic camps unless there is an international tournament or competition coming up. U16s don't have that right now but even if they did, I don't think that particular player would make the cut. He's had the exposure.

Kids make a usynt camp for many reasons. Some make it due to politics like has been discussed here already. Other times, the players make it because they have built a buzz through scouts and elsewhere and the usynt coaching staff want to see them against the top players to compare. Sometimes players are that good.

Sometimes players don't make it because they have been in camps in the past and either coaches were unimpressed then or they are a known commodity and there is no need to bring them in again to evaluate so another player gets a spot. This could be the case with some of the red bulls 2009s. The camps are to evaluate as many kids as possible to get the best 20-30 kids in our country. So very few kids are going to make every camp. Every players path is different and every scout or team sees different things in players.

Players that left DCU to go elsewhere didn't make the roster because either they didn't have the right politics, timing, good enough play at the right moments, and maybe they just didn't have the talent to make it. Maybe they just weren't good enough for this player pool in this moment. Lots of good players left off. We are talking about the top 22-50 players in the USA. Not the DMV. The bar is pretty high. Doesn't mean they will never make it. Just not this time.

But what you can see from the roster is that DCU can't put any players on it because it is a dead end for high level football in this country. Again, a local club put a player on the roster before DCU did. In a scouting system that is rigged in favor of the MLS academies. If that isn't enough evidence of how little US Soccer respects what's going on at DCU I don't know what is.

Can you explain the exact criteria, process and steps in a player getting to one of these camps?

No. Figure it out yourself. If you have a player that is at the level, the process will find you. Not the other way around.

Like has been posted before, all anyone needs to know reading this thread is that DCU has only put 2 kids on any youth national team in the last five years. Find some evidence to prove that wrong.
