[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This argument is out of my league, but since it has somehow become a DC vs Philly comparison for some  reason, who are players that left the dc area choosing Philly Union over DCU and made it to US national U21, U23 and senior men's teams?
or became high level professionals[/quote]

Does that matter??  Whether they left DCU to go to Philly??  Bottom line is Philly is just a better academy.  Period.  And so are almost all of the other MLS academiss in the country [/quote]

So the argument you're making is Philly Union is the best option for DC area kids and you must avoid DCU or leave DCU and go to Philly. 
Yet there are no success stories of players going to Philly Union academy from DC area

What's your logic and rational since you're not using precedent of successful examples?[/quote]

Aaron Heard specifically left the DMV to avoid DCU and went to Philly Union then to St Louis FC and then on to Bayern Leverkusen in Germany where he is today.  He was a youth national team player and intentionally didn't go to DCU for all the reasons that have been outlined. .  This isn't about Philly.  MANY other players left the DMV to avoid DCU.  Do the research, it's all out  there if you want to find it.  [/quote]

😆 
Aaron Heard went from Bethesda to Philly Union for a year
Was in St Louis for 4

So St Louis developed him

That said, one kid out of thousands who left the dmv in 2019 for a year at Philly is your logic and benchmark examples of why all dmv kids must go to Philly? haha [/quote]
