And for today against Beadling, which is in PITTSBURGH, they have matches a starting at 630p and 830p. A Sunday!?

Those teams probably come.down here and play multiple games. They likely make an entire weekend of it. But yes, DCU doesn't care.

And the u16 group TIED Sporting Delaware this weekend with NO GOALS scored. This is a team this same DCU team was absolutely demolishing two years ago. If there is any example of how DCU stagnates players and doesn't develop them, this is a perfect example. There is no team from Delaware that should be able to compete with the "best" from the DMV. Sporting Delaware just has local kids and still was able to compete with DCU. When the size bias fades at around the middle of the u15 season, the kids actually have to play football to win games instead of trying to just run by and physically dominate games. DCU can't teach them how to play football. Why their results are so bad this season and will continue to be as they progress.

To be fair, was the DCU team the 2010/U16 team, or did Sporting go against DCU 2011/U15? Academies are playing up when they are matched against non-academies.

I don’t think it matters when DCU has access to the best players Sporting has available. There is a reason they should be playing up because it is supposed to be a representation of 4 states and a District. Delaware is 30% bigger than just the population of DC alone so that gives you a guidepost of the advantage they have are supposed to have. This criticism is not a reflection on the DCUA kids. It is a criticism of the academy and their methods of instruction and development.

Bingo. Why the best academia in the world play their kids up as well against their local teams and absolutely demolish them. Because their kids are actually learning being how to play football. DCUs kids re not. They are just running and going through the motions

No DCU team, playing up or not, with the pick of whoever they want across multiple states, should be in competitive games against local clubs from Delaware. It's just that simple.

And the only reason why they are not doing well is because DCU is failing the players. There is no other way o look at it.

Just reporting the news with no bias or dog in this fight

U16
Philly Union 0:6 FC Delco

U17
Philly Union 0:4 FC Delco

Philly Union, based on the reasoning above is failing their players to get blanked by a local club
Either that, or the narrative above is false and flawed

How do you demolish a team two years ago that wasn't in your age group two years ago?
Asking because I don't know how MLS Next works

If a 2011 ties a 2010 0:0

Based on the scoreboard, how does a soccer development conclusion of the 2011s happen?

Narrative is false AND flawed.

DCU is a fantastic academy. Let me sign up for RDS and all of the ground-breaking youth programs they have available and see if my kid can play for their U13’s next year.

DCU is a 💪 academy!! #eatithaters

Sorry you went through all the above only to have your darling Philly Union get destroyed by a local club after you said no good academy would be in competitive games against local club

Much less get demolished by them

Philly Union and DCU are not peers. Philly is in a different class of academies in this country. DCU is in the lowest tier. Philly in the highest

Definitely not peers, losing 10 to 0 to a local club
