[quote=Anonymous]And 3-2 score leads me to believe that they didn't park the bus on DCU which is what some clubs will try to do to keep the scores respectable.  Losing can happen to any team on any given day. I personally don't think losing alone is unacceptable.  But it is the way DCU loses that is unacceptable because the kids aren't learning how to actually play football.  Just think about it this way...DCU assembles teams of local all stars and 1. Can't put any of those kids on our youth national teams 2. Can't beat local clubs consistently with the best players in the area 3. Isn't producing homegrowns consistently 4. Has one of the most talent rich regions to pull from and 5. Can't consistently compete with other MLS academies as the kids get older.  This is just in the US.  DCU is so far behind. The academy system is the weak link.  Not the players.

Imagine the differences in quality if you start comparing to Europe.  The players at DCU are at a distinct disadvantage, just in the US.  Overseas, forget about it. There are levels to the game especially if you reach a certain echelon.  DCU isn't at the level. [/quote]
