[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS second years at DCU, this year group not strong, non-academy PDA just out played us.[/quote]

DCU lost to PDA?  An Academy team lost to a NON academy team?  [/quote]

It can easily happen when one team has been playing together for a while and has an identity. Was that DC United team freshly put together? [/quote]

Been at DCU for two years.  Majority of them. [/quote]

Ok so kids playing 2 years together and the starting nucleus has largely stayed the same and they actually lost?

Did the MLS next team have a superstar that made the difference? Someone DC United didn’t discover yet?

If they did not losing is unacceptable [/quote]

Correct.  2 years of largely the same team but also 2 years of poor coaching and teaching. Last year I'm pretty sure this same team beat PDA pretty easily but now, like has been offered here before, just kicking the ball and running hard (DCUs main tactical approach) won't beat teams that have similar physical ability and are trying to play football. And PDA is a team where most of their best kids go to a MLS academy at these ages so they don't have all the best kids in the area like DCU does.  But they do try to play football with the kids they have and that is noticeable and also distinguishing from DCU.   Of course they didn't have some superstar. They are just in a better environment than the kids at DCU.  [/quote]
