[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USMNT DCU bias only 2 DCU kids all age groups?[/quote]

Where do you see DCU kids?[/quote]

U17 and U16 November camp rosters came out today and no DCU players on the roster.  Union and red bulls are represented on both.  [/quote]

The International behemoth Red Bulls has 1 player on U17 and none on U15

They are probably the best U16 team in the country but strangely has only 2 [/quote]

Irrelevant.  These stats are all better than what DCU is doing and how it's performing on a national scale...You're trying to tear down a club that is actually getting results but yet, have nothing to offer about DCU??  Doesn't work like that.  DCU is not on the same level and not a strong academy.  There is no other conclusion that can be drawn.[/quote]

Red Bulls had 25 players not make U15s 
Same as DCU

Red Bulls had 24 players not make U17s 
1 less than DC

The numbers don't lie[/quote]

The talent is producing those results, not the academies.  Please don't tell me you think those academies were the difference, and that those kids would not have made it had they been elsewhere.  This combines the vanity of coaches and the desperation of parents who hope they play a material difference.  They can generally only screw things hope, not make good great.  [/quote]

This is such a pathetic and sad take that is so wrong and false and shows how little you know about football but more importantly, the education of young people. If this were true why even go to an academy at all???  It would be a complete waste of time.  I know several of the kids on the rosters in two age groups that if they hadn't gone to their academy, which was not DCU, would not have developed as quickly.  The academy environment made a big difference and the competition made a big difference.  The opinion that the academy makes no difference in the development of the player is just an absurd opinion that no credible person advances.  [/quote]
