[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what  going dcua older age groups lost to Toronto FC, dcua u16 is considered the best of academies?[/quote]

As someone who is not fond of DCU, RESULTS DON’T MATTER.  I recently heard a guy from Sporting in Portugal talked about how their U19 would lose a lot because they are playing their best U17’s in the U19 division.  We have no idea what the academies are doing with their teams.

It feels like a broken record as this point.  Go to a monastery and search your inner soul on why your ego must win all of the time.

DCUA can lose every game in every bracket.  If they produce 2-3 sellable players or 1st teamers in each age bracket versus almost everyone just going to college, the academy would be an overwhelming success.  D1 is not a flex for an academy product.  Kudos to you, but no where near a flex.

The DMV has the kids, parents and resources to succeed but the emperor has no clothes.  As long as uneducated parents keep blindly sending their kids to DCUA and DCUA selects talented kids from uneducated families who don’t know how to take the next step, it will simply continue to be the way high-achieving parents with talented son get their sons into Princeton and Penn.

Are the parents with a kid at dcua and one at premier league club Bournemouth uneducated and blind?

How about the parents of the dcua kid who just completed a trial at Chelsea? They also uneducated and blind?

Maybe you mean the parents of the dcua kids playing for concacaf youth national teams being uneducated and blind[/quote]

I'm saying all of those parents KNOW DCU is trash and are looking for ways to get their get out.  But they use it to the best of their ability.  And yes, many of those parents don't fully understand the system.

For instance, all of those said  parents thinking a CONCACAF call up to another nations youth team would give them exposure and maybe increasing their chances of a USYNT call up not knowing they were killing their chances as a result because they cap tied their son and by the time a one time switch would be viable it will be too late.  Yeah, a lot of ignorance even among people you think are successful.

Kid left DCU for Bournemouth because DCU wasted his time and youth years.  How has that turned out?

Let me know how the "trial" at Chelsea went?  With connections and politics anything can happen.

What you know for sure is that if you're at DCU for a long period of time, you will not be ready for a higher level of football.  this has played out over the last few years consistently.
