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.

keep drink the coolades my boys by cooking

Yes let's go by the list that ranks ECNL teams in with academy teams.

It's like being ok sending your child to a school that is known to have inferior test results and college entrance.

Or it's like thinking only name-brand colleges produce successful professionals and entrepreneurs

Yeah, not the same or a good analogy. Nice try though. Keep thinking. We aren't talking about perceived status. We are talking real results.

Top drawer soccer is legit osy to play exposure. If this is the best you have for DCU, then DCU is worse than everyone expected

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

Lets see...spending time arming parents with real information and data about choices they have to make that can impact their sons future in the sport OR keep sending my son to an academy that doesn't care about him, his development , and has no intention of becoming better? And blindly defending this same academy because my feelings are hurt that people are saying the choices I've made for my kid are bad. Yeah I'll chose the former all day.

Sounds like MLSN is a dead end option in this area…

It's not, if your son is good enough, he'll be noticed by other academy teams.

The post doesn't say what the ranking based on? The criteria?

It's based on money and connections. Like everything else in US soccer. ANY ranking page you see almost anywhere is not completely legitimate. Many pages on IG and the web are manipulated by parents with money for the eventual benefit of their kids. It's that simple

Depends on how you look at it. Can still get to college from MLS next for sure. Pro soccer much less likely. But not impossible. Same as DCU really. DCU will have a slight edge on exposure. But since they don't travel much the exposure is marginally better at best.
