[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One person just pretending to be multiple people...this is the best thread here.  Watching a psycho do their thing live...[/quote]

But whoever that one person is sure does know a hell of a lot about the soccer scene and DCU.  Can't really deny that [/quote]

That one knowledgeable person is educating this novice parent so we know there are at least 2 of us and the snarky commenter which makes at least 3.

Athletic Bilbao can maintain a 1st team in La Liga that has never been relegated from a population of 2m.

Croatia can create a World Cup team from a population of 3m.

Is it too much to ask for DCU to develop 3-4 home grown talents from a population of 6m?

Can you imagine what Audi field would look like if we had 3-4 home grown talents that went onto top 5 European academies when they are 22-23 after 4-5 years on 1st team?  We would all be invested with season tickets as there would be a genuine pathway of local talent that we would perpetually root for whether our kids are still involved or not.  Nobody at DCU currently has that vision and apparently none of the parents or else this fight would not exist.

I assume the current DCU academy players are the best players in the DMV.  I do not know enough to know about recruiting, etc.  Kudos to those players and those parents.  No one should degrade that accomplishment.  That is a major accomplishment.

Is it okay to ask whether our youth systems are not producing a high enough product for DCU to choose from or that DCU is getting a good product and then not developing them?  All of these are fair questions that people who care about the game can ask without all of this excess emotion.

Our local ABC affiliate just posted a clip on IG about of Tim Howard and Landon Donovan ripping DCU and their lack of investment in the team.  Are two of our best USMNT players crazy too?[/quote]

And what is your response to yourself?  Cmon don't be scared!

DCU Academy isn't good...got it.  Still the best place in the DMV for a kid to land if they can.  Move on and go visit your mirror.  You can actually see yourself talking to yourself there.[/quote]

Shhhhhhhhh....  he's thinking of responding to himself speaking in the third person

I don't think he thought past the part of what to do/say after trying to convince 3 people that dcu is a bad academy
