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

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

No one cares about Philly Union. Just that DCU is a trash bag. Philly Union results don't change that fact. Keep trying.

If a 2011 ties a 2010 0:0

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

How does someone keep failing at trying to support DCU? See above.

No one said no good academy would lose to a local team. What WAS said is that DCU shouldn't lose to local teams given the state of play. Any good academy can have bad results every now and then. DCU isn't a good academy AND has bad results. Very different.

Don't forget that DC played Union recently and lost both games in these age groups. I'm also guessing Philly wasn't playing their top players against Delco in these matches. the day before these two age groups beat NYCFC 6-0 and 4-1 respectively. Hard to believe the same groups would have these scores against Delco, although Delco is usually really good and I believe has a partnership with Union.

I'm not guessing that Philly played their best players against Delco, a local non-academy club, and got shutout with goals raining down

So, since good academies are above that, then Philly can't be a good academy

So says the PP academy expert

In those age groups, against other academies, DC hasn't won a match. Philly has only lost one (to Red Bulls).

Philly Union could literally lose ALL of their games and as long as they are producing pros at the rate they are it wouldn't matter. DCU isnt producing pros AND losing the games. .So it is bad at what it does as an academy all around.

Much less get demolished by them

Why are you coming at me? I am a 3rd party who is impressed. Your legal arguments are slicing them and dicing them! You are magnificent at finding the grain of sand at the beach that suits your position. Brilliant! It is impossible for you to be wrong at anything which is why I now know DCU is right for my family. You are the logical Floyd Mayweather. Impossible to pin down. Genius!

You don’t have to have a backup plan because your kid is already in one of the strongest academies in the country. I was so disappointed San Diego ripped off DCU’s idea of having open tryouts to really see who is the best in the area. Imitation is the price of greatness!

If for some reason your kid does not follow in the club’s historic trend of producing professional footballers, the way you stick and move, I am certain your son will have a great career as an attorney like you.

Go DCU!!
