[quote=Anonymous]And some of this size and physicality bias has to do with the product the MLS produces. Just remember that the MLS owns these academies end of day and the overall mission is to bring players to their league. The MLS product is a size and physicality product and a lot of the MLS academies in the US lean toward bigger kids because of this. The national team does as well. MLS games aren't these beautiful football games where great football is being displayed. It is more like American football where aggression, physicality and brute force are rewarded. It is emblematic of our weak footballing culture in the country. DCU is really no different on the size bias. But what is different is DCU just relies on that, whereas the other academies are teaching the kids how to play as opposed to how to run hard and use strength to win. [/quote]
