[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reality check: US soccer IN THE COUNTRY is not high level.  Doesn't matter where you are.  Why washed up European players can come here and dominate our domestic league against US players in their prime.  The level is just not close.  Being at DCU just means you're a strong regional player in the US.  Literally millions of kids better in Europe and the rest of the world.  Our academy system is driven by the MLS to produce players for the MLS, which is a weak league requiring minimally skilled players (just big and fast players).  You have a MLS academy system filled with coaches that never sniffed the highest levels of the game even in the US.  How can anyone expect knowledge transfer to youth players when there is minimal knowledge to be transfered? The US system is massively flawed in this way. DCU just happens to be one of the most flawed academies in an already flawed system. What that means is that if you're at DCU, you're getting the lowest chances of success because you're in an academy that is one of the worst among academies that are already not great.  Because DCU is so bad, it is just a more time consuming, frustrating and rocky path to college soccer or Sunday leagues.  If you do make it pro from DCUs academy it isn't because of them it is despite them and a rarity at that. [/quote]

What about Bethesda, SYC, Achilles, Baltimore Armor, Alexandria?

If players at dc ain't going nowhere in soccer, where they going?
