[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know it's bad when you ask the boys about DCUA and they reply that it's a less than stellar academy.  Ask your DS because they are in the know.  And I agree with a PP, the DCUA players are the ones keeping them afloat.[/quote]

How would a kid who hasn't been in a stellar academy elsewhere know where they are is less than stellar?[/quote]

Hmm maybe because they don't live under a rock and they talk to other high level players about their experiences elsewhere.  Just a hunch...Also, the DCU kids go to the other academy facilities when they travel and are like DAMN.  What we have is garbage compared to this.  [/quote]

Thats impressive that the academy games at Philly and NY are at better facilities than Segra Stadium 🏟 where Loudon United plays USL home games.[/quote]

Key word, Loudoun United field.  Or VA Revolution field.  If they can't get those, Soccer Plex.  The first 2 stadiums are pretty nice though.  But it's not DC Uniteds field.[/quote]

How does the name on the field make a difference?
The comments of the person with a weird obsession personal grievance against the academy said that the DCU kids go to play at other academies and realize where they play at home is bad.

They play at Segra Field Stadium.
Is that a crappy facility or not?[/quote]

No one said anything about where they play their home games. Name on the field doesn't matter.  You're missing the point.  We are talking.about the FACILITIES overall.  When the kids walk into say, Atlanta United campus, they know they are in a class facility. It's obvious.  Same with red bulls, union Montreal, Toronto, (insert any other academy besides DCU here) It's like walking into a Ritz Carlton coming from a Red Rood Inn.  Or even worse coming from having nothing. DCU doesn't have a facility at all so it's not a hard conclusion to draw.  Playing games at a USL field is pretty cool actually but it doesn't overcome the fact that DCU has no facility for the players. That by itself is a travesty.  Google MLS academy facilities or watch videos on YouTube.  The difference in what DCU has and others is MASSIVE.  FC Cincinnati is even ahead and they are a new club.  [/quote]

All these suburban soccer dads with the brooks brothers and golfdom matching outfits talking about how pretty facilities need to be to produce top level professionals

In real football world, the professional leagues in south america and europe have many top tier players who trained and played all or most their lives at below average non-frills fields and facilities.

Mr verified facts guy with the predictable response! 👏

Don't know who that is, but what's said is factual, or you don't know football outside your McLean bubble[/quote]

We need “verified facts” for whatever you’re claiming. [/quote]
