Pretty high on the list, but no desire to be better as a whole.[/quote]

If they’re so valuable, why don’t they invest in their youth academy? It’s crazy.[/quote]

Can you add a link to show the academy budget for say the past 3 years?

Since you're making a confident statement that they don't invest in their youth academy [/quote]

Why don't YOU show us that they are investing in their academy like the other pro teams?  Not having their own facility let alone their own field is very telling.  No residency programs, no overseas tournaments, nothing.  Appalling for team that's based in a big metro area like DC/NOVA.  DCU is lacking and always a step behind, get over it.[/quote]

You're ranting about an academy you have no connection to other than through dcum and telling someone else to get over it?

DC kids don't train or play home games?[/quote]

They do, just at rented space at a local club.[/quote]

And playing matches at the soccerplex in Germantown.  Just like all high level academies.  Well, high level academies and the SAM league.[/quote]

I'm shocked DCU would play matches at the craphole soccerplex where MLS Next holds one of their biggest national tournaments each year
The pitches there are horrible and filled with gopher holes
I know the kids prefer the artificial turf to natural bermuda grass [/quote]

The point wasn't that soccerplex is bad.  The point was they don't have their own facility.  It's also not close to other facility that's not theirs where they train.  Grass at soccerplex is great, not having a dedicated facility is not great.[/quote]

Soccerplex is NOT their home field. They train and play their home field in Leesburg, VA.[/quote]

Not right now, they don't.[/quote]

They definitely do train and play home games in Leesburg.[/quote]

It's true that they will still play games at Segra and you tell me if they're going to resume training there.  But here's a quiz: how many matches will DC United Academy teams, all age groups, play there in October 2024?  Heres a hint: it rhymes with hero.  [/quote]
