[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethesda has produced more pro players from its system than DCU has.  DCU is just not an acceptable professional outfit.  You can think it is all you want but you're just living a lie.  Just don't expect anyone else to live this lie with you.  Just use DCU to boost your little Jonny's college resume so he can go to college.  That is what it is about anyway.

Because the soccer scene in the DMV  is dominated by rich, privileged families, the talent pool is flooded with mostly soft players that don't have the mentality to really compete at the highest levels of the game.  DMV parents don't have perspective on what football is like in the rest of the world.  It is a harsh, gritty and very demanding sport that isn't for the faint of heart.  Who is going to win a ball, the kid from Landon who lives a lush lifestyle day in and day out or the kid from a third world country who sees football as his family's way out of poverty.  10 out of 10.times the latter.

DCU is not a player in the sport of football in this country.  No one sees it as a player and no one with any credibility respects what is happening there. .in a region that prioritizes wealth over talent, DCU has a massive uphill battle just in getting the right players alone.

And if you're buying the narrative that the DMV is the best talent pool in the nation you're lying to yourself.  It USED to be years ago because the rest of the country didn't care about the sport as much as the DMV region did.  DMV also had a lot of good coaches.   Currently, the there are many other metro areas that are just better than the DMV in terms of talent ..

overall, not a great state of affairs in the DMV v for football..crap MLS academy, rich parents manipulating the game from behind the scenes taking away opportunities from talented kids from less privileged communities, and just pure ignorance dominating the market.  Not a great time to be in DMV football.  [/quote]

This one is going to sting some people.

No data to “prove” what you’re saying but anecdotally it checks out from what we are experiencing.
