"Trust me bro."

See page 8, "There are 3 players from last year's Achilles U13 team currently playing at MLS academies. Several of their 2009s have also gone to MLS academies. Not many clubs can say that."

Yes, I see that prior post on page 8, but I don't think it is true.

It IS true. But almost a year old, so referencing 2010s and 2009s. Not going to post kids initials or anything, but most definitely true. Same with the kids invited to USYNT regional ID camps. Publicly available info was linked to some of those lists.

A couple kids went from Achilles to DCU Academy. Fact.

They are one of the few MLS Next clubs in the area. Shouldn't they have a couple kids that make it to DCU?

There are EDP clubs who have sent several players to DCU, and those players were at those small clubs for years being developed.

I'm sure Bethesda and other teams have more players at DCU than Achilles today.

Achilles 2009 boys were good PRIOR to the 22-23 season. I know 1 09 Achilles kid went to DCU at the beginning of 2022, and another top player leaving for another club. 22 and on, they were pretty bad and I saw no one on that team that could play on academy level.

how to find dc united academy rosters and where kids came from?

[Anonymous]

DCU pulls a majority of their kids from their Pathway 2 Pro partner clubs. Achilles is not on that list.

At the beginning of the 22-23 season DCU Academy posted rosters and clubs for all their age groups on Instagram. I don't think they've done it since.

How were the post match interviews with Achilles coaches after Philadelphia Massacre?

1st Half Achilles vs Philly U16

Kid made a mistake.
Achilles coach yells "Next time you pull some sh*t like that I'm gonna sit you down for the rest of the day. I'll just have your parents take you home"

These parents who bring their kids and leave their kids with these guys are nutz

I wasn't at the game, but I believe it. I don't know how he keeps his teams in MLS Next. Please report this to MLS Next. Thanks for posting here.

I honestly can't figure out why individuals on this board are so eager for Achilles to lose their MLS Next status and want bad things for the club, the parents, and the players. What is your motivation? How does their status or their coaching style or their performance affect you at all? You're not involved. You're going on YouTube to find videos of a team that you're son does NOT play for, in a league your son does NOT play in.

Lot of assumptions there.

You can't figure out why a neutral person who loves the sport and youth development would be against an abusive coaching system?

Nope. I applaud love for the sport and youth development. I can't figure out how searching out a specific team's videos, scouring the audio, celebrating their losses, criticizing their players, their parents' decisions, and their coaching on an anonymous message board does anything. You're taking an extraordinary amount of effort to do this and it reeks of a vendetta, not love of the game.

I notice you don't say the assumptions are incorrect. The posters literally said they weren't at the game.
