looks like the dcua defender may have always been right saying the anti-dc movement on this thread is lead by someone who's kid got rejected and has an axe to grind
they finally let it slip and confessed lol

so we're clear, dcua only wanted one of your 3 sons so they're bad
Philly only took the same one of 3 sons, but they're awesome, because they promised they may take the other two later?

Doesn't really matter. Philly is a better program than DCU. There is no one that has any credibility anywhere that would argue with that.

This is not Fox news
The truth matters, to many of us at least

The anti dc crusader has revealed themselves to be totally biased and upset that DC did what Philly did, which was accept one of their three sons.
In their words, "a slap in the face"

Explains the motivations here

There is always a better academy
Yesterday it was FC Dallas then it was Philly Union, next its Inter Miami then LAFC

When a MLS academy has Barcelona, PSG or Real Madrid status and impact on their National and International stage, then they're truly above and beyond in real life.
Not just rhetoric

Ok. So Philly is not Barcelona. Accepted. Should we not aspire to be in Philly academy because we live in the DMV and should accept DCUA academy?

Do you really think DCUA is anywhere near the Philly academy?

The point is, if Philly is greener pastures for you and they are allowing you to graze, go and make the best of it for you and yours

Why so much energy and focus on other pastures

No place is best for everyone or perfect fit for everyone or a desired place to be for everyone. Nor can 40 people fit in a canoe built for 2

Facts are, more of what you become and where you end up in life and career is more about you and not just the institution.

Going to Philly Union has zero guarantees of a professional or international career of substance. Thousands of players have been through Union and you know nothing of them today, but we only focus on the less than 0.5% that made a name.

Goes for all the academies, even if some have slightly better results than others in the grand scheme of things.

No sh#t. The bottom line is that all of the programs are better than DCUs. And if you're spending your time and energy doing this why suffer through an academy that is literally the laughingstock of the MLS. You shouldnt if you have options. No academy is the best for everyone. But, there are some academies that just offer more to their players. DCU isn't one of those academies.

I am not one of the previous posters but since you are in the building, if you can provide a release from the protected 9 list, I will seriously never visit this forum again. We have never attended any DCU training or tryout ever.

Without that restriction, I would not care at all what DCU does and would never visit this forum again.

If you can make that happen, let me know the phone number to call or address to visit and person to speak to.

The problem is not when Philly's academy is better than DCU's. The problem is when 27 academies are better than DCU's. Just google MLS academy rankings. DCU is consistently near last

looks like the dcua defender may have always been right saying the anti-dc movement on this thread is lead by someone who's kid got rejected and has an axe to grind
they finally let it slip and confessed lol

so we're clear, dcua only wanted one of your 3 sons so they're bad
Philly only took the same one of 3 sons, but they're awesome, because they promised they may take the other two later?

Doesn't really matter. Philly is a better program than DCU. There is no one that has any credibility anywhere that would argue with that.

This is not Fox news
The truth matters, to many of us at least

The anti dc crusader has revealed themselves to be totally biased and upset that DC did what Philly did, which was accept one of their three sons.
In their words, "a slap in the face"

Explains the motivations here

There is always a better academy
Yesterday it was FC Dallas then it was Philly Union, next its Inter Miami then LAFC

When a MLS academy has Barcelona, PSG or Real Madrid status and impact on their National and International stage, then they're truly above and beyond in real life.
Not just rhetoric

Ok. So Philly is not Barcelona. Accepted. Should we not aspire to be in Philly academy because we live in the DMV and should accept DCUA academy?

Do you really think DCUA is anywhere near the Philly academy?

The point is, if Philly is greener pastures for you and they are allowing you to graze, go and make the best of it for you and yours

Why so much energy and focus on other pastures

No place is best for everyone or perfect fit for everyone or a desired place to be for everyone. Nor can 40 people fit in a canoe built for 2

Facts are, more of what you become and where you end up in life and career is more about you and not just the institution.

Going to Philly Union has zero guarantees of a professional or international career of substance. Thousands of players have been through Union and you know nothing of them today, but we only focus on the less than 0.5% that made a name.

Goes for all the academies, even if some have slightly better results than others in the grand scheme of things.

No sh#t. The bottom line is that all of the programs are better than DCUs. And if you're spending your time and energy doing this why suffer through an academy that is literally the laughingstock of the MLS. You shouldnt if you have options. No academy is the best for everyone. But, there are some academies that just offer more to their players. DCU isn't one of those academies.

We already know your foundation is biased

So your opinions on repeat still remains as such. Your opinions

When you have numbers, data, metrics, measurements to collaborate your statements, let us know.

Till then, keep yelling and beating drums on sidelines

Out of all of the data provided on this board, only one really damning statistic matters:

MLS developmental 2nd teams = 29
DC United developmental 2nd team = 0

The only logical response to that is “you are right. We need a better pathway for kids in our system to develop.”

However, you going to practice your unused law degree tactics on us and try to find an out instead of acknowledging, “$h!+…I may be getting hosed.” 😒
