[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^-- if you ever wanted to know about SYC coaches:
"Just because a kid is scoring goals at an academy in Spain doesn't mean he should've been selected by the Technical Director to play on the first team of CCL."

People, if you ever wanted to know what SYC is all about, it's making money.  That's it.  They have an inferiority complex with Arlington, McLean, and DC United.  And their TD couldn't smell talent if you put it under his nose.[/quote]

Not the PP - but if this academy is a Spanish professional club's youth academy then it means something.  If it's just an amateur youth soccer club - then it's meaningless.[/quote]

Still bitter about your DS not making the blue team, or the orange team probably for that matter. And if that's not the case, then why do you care? Why didn't your DS's team pick up that talented second-team player?[/quote]

My DS does not and has never played for SYC.  Nor has he (or I) ever attempted to join SYC or even contacted them to make any inquiry about doing so.  I have no skin in this game at all - I merely noted that the PP's point depends entirely on exactly what "A Spanish Academy" actually is.

If the PP shows back up here and clarifies that he is talking about Barcelona in Spain then I will be the first to agree that that strongly implies SYC's talent spotting is sub-standard.  If, on the other hand, "A Spanish Academy" turns out to be Barca here in Northern Virginia then I would suggest that it is indeed meaningless.  My point is merely that we need to know what "A Spanish Academy" actually is, before we can draw any conclusions from it.[/quote]
