[quote=Anonymous]This is what most people on this thread don't understand...even if DCU WON GA Cup it wouldn't make it a good academy.  It would just mean they have a collection of kids that defied the odds given to them being at one of the worst MLS academeis in the country.  Barca brings their younger kids to almost all international tournaments.  Especially ones in the US.  Spain for the most part doesn't have the athleticism we have at the younger ages and their players are smaller generally. We can dominate a lot of teams because we just recruit early bloomers.  Spain doesnt do that.  They take a long term view on talent.  We take the short term view.   Barca versus DCU at u18 or even the second team versus DCU,  would be an absolute slaughter.

Look, tournaments against international competition are always fun for the kids.  But I'm not getting hyped up about u15 or u16 soccer.  Most of these kids are still babies in the grand scheme of things.

And most importantly, no result anywhere would make DCU a good academy.  Period.   It would just make them beneficiaries of a strong talent pool.[/quote]
