[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come all these "physically dominant giants" at DCUA seem to only exist in dcum posts but fail to show up on the fields or in the academy IG and FB photos?

There’s some truth to this. DCU has prioritized bringing in “bigger” players, a strategy driven by Academy leadership in hopes of competing with other MLS clubs like RBNY and Union, who have been embrassining them on and off the field. However, we all see how that’s playing out. The academy is full of talent that is being misused [/quote]

Correct.  The size and speed game is the easiest for DCU because they don't have to teach anyone anything to get that right.  Either you have it or you don't. The problem is the other academies play that game, plus teach the kids how to play AND have a better system for identifying talent and larger talent pools to pull from in their metro areas. So they have bigger and faster kids that they teach how to play.  Why the results against DCU are usually very convincing.  Like has been posted before, as the kids get older the early bloomers fade because everyone is big and strong.  Then they have to rely on actual footballing skills and IQ.  Something DCU doesn't teach.  And like the PP said, you're seeing how that plays out on the field.  [/quote]
