[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, the DCU defender on this thread is either a troll or a very insecure person. Hope he’s not a liability to this DCU kids success. [/quote]

right?! so hostile and defensive.  can't help to think s/he has a kid on the team and taking everything personally.[/quote]

If it is a DCU parent, they have every right to be defensive and hostile.  People unconnected to the Academy are on here talking trash about it all the time, and I'm assuming jealousy plays some roll in it.  This obsession with the results of a U14 team is over-the-top.  I do not have a child at DCU but I do know several of the players through my son and I can assure you they can control a ball and that every player deserves to be there, based on the (lots of) soccer I've seen over the years.  Posters on this thread have not only accused them of not having basic skills, but of being emblematic of what they perceive is wrong with U.S. soccer.  Imagine being a parent reading that.  Think about why you are on here trashing an academy when you have no connection to it.  I'm pretty sure you're not doing for the love of the game.  [/quote]

I’ve seen many kids with excellent technical skills but if it’s not noticeable at an actual game and the kid can’t use it under pressure, then what is even the point.

I’m not the PP that thought the video was emblematic of US soccer. That’s a bit dramatic. But I do think it’s disconcerting to see the poor technical skills or the inability to use the technical skills they have. I would give the kids the benefit of the doubt though especially since it’s U14 and under that they were unnerved by  playing up, maybe not getting as much playing time so haven’t had much match experience, or it was the wind.

But whatever the excuse is, none of them are going to watch the video and think it showcased even half of their talent and potential. [/quote]
