[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCU big match this weekend against delco[/quote]

Delco for the win.[/quote]

you are correct, non Flex match DCU will use 2011 to develop and sit 2010 bench, DS told me not suiting up.[/quote]

see . . . . you pitchfork wielding, jealous, child-can't-make it, losers don't understand.  The reason DCU has more losses and draws than the other two academies in their division combined isn't because they're behind them in any way, it's because DCU is playing chess while they're playing checkers.

DCU is the only one focused on development over wins.  These matches don't matter.  They do not demonstrate anything regarding player development or match preparation or tactics or coaching.

Stop focusing on wins and losses and look at the things that really matter, like turning the talent they're able to gather into the best players they can be and making sure they reach, and succeed at, the next levels.  (Oh wait . . . . .)

Nevermind. [/quote]

DCU playing chess?  That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen.  If that is true, DCU is playing the absolute worst game of chess in history then...If you read the posts people are saying that the wins actually don't matter.  What matters is the development.  DCU is definitely NOT focused on development.  If they were, their end results with the players would be much stronger than what it is with the talent they have in the region.  Development is clearly not happening at DCU for so many stated reasons that its actually too hard to list them all now...The reality is that many of the posts on here are from DCU parents.  You're clearly elated that your DS just made the team (low expectations)...Everyone else expected their son to make it and now that they are in it at DCU and see what a mess it actually is, they are focused on how to make a bad situation at DCU better.  You should do the same.

Since none of the MLS Academies in America are putting out Pros consistently to top tier Division 1 leagues, they all are under developing.

Also, this fake false personal bias narrative that DCU is the worst of the 26 Academies is assuming no one on dcum knows anything about whats going on outside the DMV [/quote]

We already established that compared to European models, MLS academies don't perform at that level in terms of producing pro players.  So, if you're going to a MLS academy in the US it is about the lesser of evils if pro soccer is your goal.  That said, there are MLS academies that are just better than others at what they do and are heading in the right direction toward the European model and results.  Philly and Red bulls are two of them, along with salt lake, Dallas and a few others that are investing in their academy infrastructure and teams.  DCU is not in the conversation about being a top academy in the MLS and if you're in a lesser of evils choice, DCU is one of the last options because it is one of the worst academies in the MLS system.  For all the reasons that have been outlined on this thread.

Pretty sad that all you have to hang on to now about DCU is trying to say everyone sucks so it's ok if DCU sucks. The fundaenental problem with this argument is that even if it were true which is debatable because there are some very good academies in the MLS, everyone else sucks way less than DCU.  [/quote]
