[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also my first day posting here. And I can tell you that one of the players on Arlington U19 that kicked the crap out of DCU this weekend was actually on DCU until this year. He could not longer pretend that DCU was making him a better player. Looks like he made a wise move. [/quote]

U18 onwards is time to perform

Looking for youth development at U19 you missed the boat

In November Alexandria U19s beat Philly Union. So let's also say Philly Union is crap based on the lack of football knowledge and logic in this gossip forum [/quote]

OK, I am fine with that. Most of the MLS academies are nothing but talent brokers. They recruit a bunch of already skilled players and hope to sell 1 out of 100 to legitimate teams overseas. [/quote]

I tend to agree with this.  Although there are a few academies that are decent developers of talent.  Not great, but decent.  DCU is absolutely not one of them.[/quote]

Yes, they are all about winning.

That's why the stronger players in each age group train with and play with older age groups. 
No development happening there. [/quote]

Playing up does not equal development If you're not impacting the game playing up the same way you would be doing on age then playing up is much less beneficial.  Barely hanging on playing up is a move backwards not forwards.

No development is happening at DCU, that is absolutely correct. [/quote]
