[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]boys almost beat phila[/quote] Yes almost.... https://www.instagram.com/p/DJE73_zxCFg/?img_index=4&igsh=MWRlOW8zZ2V6MG1hZw==[/quote] One team kept it close. All others pretty much got dominated. DCU is just a local club with the MLS badge. Nothing more. It is widely known that DCU is not a strong developer of talent and inept as an organization. And look at what is happening to the two players that are in England now from DCU. One is coming back from his loan because Nottingham Forest declined the option to sign him and the other at Bournemouth is off to a very shaky start with reports coming out of England saying that he is very raw (translation = great physical potential but not so good technically and decisionmaking). Don't see any IG status posts about that now do you?? Remember these are players that were on DCUs first team before they left and they aren't really cutting it with the ACADEMY teams in England (both are playing with the u21s). They are both young players and maybe they will get other opportunities. But, it's not a good look for DCU and whether they can prepare a player for that level. These two represent the pinnacle of the pathway at DCU. Loans to two premier league clubs. One is already being sent back and the other seems to be on the same trajectory but the jury is still out/he can still make good of his time at Bournemouth. The bottom line is this...DCU is not a strong enough organization to consistently produce really top level footballers for Europe. Maybe for the level in the US DCU is ok. But even for the US is questionable. If you have pro ambition as a player, DCU cannot be a long term path for you. Maybe a stepping stone for a player, but if you're in the organization for a while your stock is inevitably and gradually diminishing.[/quote] You copy and paste your own comments and respond to them every day multiple times a day What are you trying to achieve this time that the first hundred times didn't achieve? You're obviously not feeling better about yourself or your kid's situation You're not going to stop anyone who's kid is good enough from going to the DC Academy What's your end goal? [/quote] You're so funny with your attack the messenger strategy. A simple way to actually engage in the conversation would be to point out the things DC United Academy does well. If you're familiar with the program (I don't actually think you are), surely there are positives to point out. Prior posters have pointed to, at the very least, the opportunity to practice with and compete against the best players in the region. There's that. What else? [/quote] No one with a kid in the DMV good enough for MLS Club Academy selection gives a rats behind what's said in dcum or any other mommy blog. They're going to DC Academy if offered unless they have personal family reasons. You using the platform to spit your toxic hate and trying to put down people's kids because of your own insecurities and failures isn't changing that. [/quote]
