[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MLS clubs want to play other professional teams, not just from the USA. There are dozens of foreign clubs that pass through the USA on 'tours' and the MLS is limited in the number of dates they can meet up with those sides as they are busy with the DA schedule. Imagine turning down a chance to play Liverpool's U15s because you are traveling to Richmond that weekend? Yea.

MLS wants to give their DA players more exposure to help raise the level of MLS in the world and eventually sell on some players to foreign clubs to recoup their investments in training. Every D1 scholarship offer to a MLS DA player is basically a financial loss for that club. [/quote]

Who will pay for this? Up to this year, DCU was charging DA players while providing mediocre coaching in the lower age groups. The fact that they are now doing without the U13DA (while only U12 has been eliminated nationwide) shows their lack of commitment to player development.
Are these guys really going to spend on organizing international games (assuming that the much better European teams are interested in meeting them more than once a year)?     [/quote]
