Correction, You're |
The excuses for poor result in this game video are the same for the historical consistent poor results previously. Statements based on facts with provable evidence isn't generalizing. Is it "generalizing" to say Man City has been perennial winners in recent years? |
never going to let it go, eh? I hate Achilles, bleh. "downfall of Achilles," "historical consistent poor results." Get over whatever it is. This is an anonymous forum. Go ahead and let us know your experience that hurt you so much. Otherwise, maybe we can stop talking about Achilles and move on to the larger MLS Next discussion and results. I think it's interesting. [and here I go perpetuating it: That particular team lost 3 players to MLS academies. It's a hard thing to immediately overcome for a small club]. |
True. Agree. What are the results of the Achilles teams in MLS Next so far in the 23/24 season? ![]() |
I honestly have no idea. Some MLS Next scores are being posted on the Soccer Rankings app, but they're not complete, by any means. |
Did you pay for the PRO version of that app? Didn't know they show scores... |
The best things (one of) that could happen for youth soccer in the US to improve development is for US Soccer to be in charge of all the MLS Next teams not with a MLS Club Academy.
Make them free and make sure they have well trained, educated, knowledgeable youth development expert coaches/staff. All players would be selected on merit and not on checkbook. Pay-to-play on the highest level is ridiculous which makes it not truly the highest level. Subpar youth coaches can't teach and develop the best talents to reach their highest potential. Doing this will immediately elevate quality. |
Youth Soccer Rankings sites should be abolished under U18 |
Yep. It has scores, a breakdown of the ratings, and a prediction function. |
Where are they getting these scores? Is Next scores online somewhere? |

Please any of these kids have above 3.0 gpa, what's the point study when you are going pro? |
DCU late into the game, other academies like NY and Union got notched, that's why kids are being recruited out side of DMV. Kids are jumping ship. |
What a dunce, dark and ignorant comment from a supposedly adult. What kind of socioeconomic households and family backgrounds do you think DC United Academy kids come from? I guess if they were exceptional LaCrosse players you would ASSume they had 4.2 GPA's? |
Please explain, and leave no details unturned, the process of DC United Academy kids being "recruited" by other MLS Clubs academies and what the "jumping ship" precise steps are. Also, can you drop a few names of kids who jumped from DCU to Red Bulls, NYCFC and Philly Union? |
User input. Nope. |
