[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

What is your current or past long term affiliation with a top tier academy in Spain?
In what capacity?
Since you're presenting yourself as an expert.

Do you have the Barcelona U15 roster with DOB for all the players that played DCU U15's?
If not, what is your Barcelona source of information on the makeup of the roster?

You are a pitiful biased sad little person.

If the DCU academy is the worst, then that means all of MLS club academies are horrible based on quality of play and results. [/quote]

Like I told you MANY posts before this one...I've been in this game for probably longer than you've been alive and on this earth.  Both in Europe and in the US.   I have personal experience that tells me these things.  Sorry you don't have that.

No, all MLS academeis are not the worst if DCU is bad.  Stop trying to advance this argument.  All MLS academeis aren't similarly situated and most MLS academies are just far better than DCU in everything they do.  EVERYTHING. if you want to say the US system is flawed, I could buy that because it is.  But to say all MLS academies are crap because DCU is crap is ridiculous and only helps you sleep well at night being in a terrible situation with your son at DCU.[/quote]
