Well, DS just showed me a video of of his previous teammate scoring a goal at an academy in Spain.

This shows you the ability of the Technical Director, EM, to identify talent and form a development plan. Which is none. Which is no wonder why he chose the rosters the way he did. His practices was mainly scrimmaging and his games were mainly kickball to the fastest players. EM would never watch players on the second team at combined practices and didn't go to a single second team (orange game) all year. If you didn't have "the look", EM doesn't bother.

SYC coachez coming to defend in 3, 2, 1....

Bruh, not saying your DS's buddy isn't talented and no offense to Spanish youth club football, but not all "academies" in Spain are La Masia, just like not all academies in the US are like FCD. Was DS's buddy on the "top" team at that academy?

I know, your Technical Director is the one saying DS's "buddy" isn't talented. Congratulations, coach, you helped me prove my point.

Bruh, if you lived in Spain and came over here to play basketball because you weren't getting any run with Real Zaragoza's bball team and then someone got video of you dunking in a youth bball game over here in the states are we to believe you're the second coming of Luka? Nope. Just because someone scored a goal/is playing on another club somewhere in the world doesn't mean they are or aren't better than the players the coaches perceived as in front of him at SYC. The 'scored a goal for an academy in Spain' proves nothing, Brodarius.

"Just because a kid is scoring goals at an academy in Spain doesn't mean he should've been selected by the Technical Director to play on the first team of CCL."

People, if you ever wanted to know what SYC is all about, it's making money. That's it. They have an inferiority complex with Arlington, McLean, and DC United. And their TD couldn't smell talent if you put it under his nose.

Not the PP - but if this academy is a Spanish professional club's youth academy then it means something. If it's just an amateur youth soccer club - then it's meaningless.

Our player is with McLean but is now practicing with SYC teams/players resulting from the merger and integrated teams. The report back after the past few weeks is that they have serious talent there.

Despite the merger being a bit of a cluster in my POV, my player really enjoys the joint practices / integrated teams…

I am sure it varies by team but my player (on a high level older team) feels the players are high caliber…

Thank you for pointing out SYC is meaningless

Yes EM’s business plan was always to just soak up boys players (LMVSC, Manassas, McLean). Trying to be the size of Arlington.

Did, did you realize you were saying SYC is meaningless or are you such a cheerleader you didn’t even realize it?

1. I'm not an SYC cheerleader by any means. In fact I think they are going to struggle in MLS Next for at least the forseeable future - and that is at least partly because the coaching is not as good as some other local clubs.

2. Nevertheless I don't think that you can logically conclude that SYC is meaningless based on what I said.

The first poster in this particular discussion noted that a kid who languished on the SYC second team was now playing for, and succeeding at, "a Spanish academy" and suggested that that proved that SYC's talent assessment/selection was very poor.

My counterpoint was that if the Spanish academy was clearly of a higher standard than SYC's first team then I would accept that it did indeed prove that SYC's talent selection was poor. On the other hand if this kid was just playing for any old Spanish kids' team of unknown talent level, then it did not prove anything one way or the other (i.e. it was meaningless) about SYC's ability to spot and select talent.

So the only thing you could logically conclude in terms of the absolute ability of teams and the amount of meaning that could conseuqently be ascribed to them is that I view SYC as less meaningful than a Spanish professional soccer club. But that should not be a surprise to anyone, and is not at all the same as meaningless.

it's not hard, is the kid doing better in Spain or the United States? - Spain
did coaches in a higher competitive market and environment see something that SYC Technical Director did not? - yes

as for you questions, SYC cheerleader, all that i got from you is "SYC is meaningless". and i agree.
