You really are past your wits end because of your kid getting rejected by the Academy

Are you so blinded by your emotional distress it hasn't crossed your mind that educated intelligent successful parents have kids at DCU?
Or you're assuming DC is taking advantage of underprivileged kids from low socioeconomic households with parents who don't speak English?


You do what you think is best for your kid and let them do what they want to do with theirs.
They obviously did well enough so far that their talented kids were chosen over yours.

Except for all the DCU kids going to D1 and Ivy League colleges, your statement would be correct 😂

I'm with you. He didn't pick my little Kevin Bruyne either 😔
So he must not know talent

LOL if your kid has real talent no way they end up at DCU ever. DCU gets turned down by the players with real potential.

So when substitutions are made during a game, where does the sub come from?

You're being an ass trying to throw mud on the kid's accomplishment which I'm 100% sure surpasses anything you've done in your life or will ever do.
Or your kid will ever do.

Like I said it's a great accomplishment. Just don't try and embellish to prop up DCUs academy.

I've forgotten more than you probably know....

Yeah, that's why you on dcum carrying out a vendetta against a MLS academy and it's kids.
Because you're a giant in the soccer galaxy

No one has any vendettas. Just won't allow a narrative about DCU to permeate our area that is completely false because it is ultimately detrimental to the kids and their opportunities as players. That is, that DCU is a quality operation when it is in fact not one.

Not saying anyone is a giant in the football world.. No one in America is.
But what I am saying is that I have enough experience in the sport, both here and abroad, to know what I'm talking.about with a level of certainty. What I know for sure, because I've seen you're type of attitude in parents for many years, is that you don't have much experience with the sport, playing or just generally, you don't have a high level athlete mentality just by how you formulate your arguments, and you're defending something because your kid is involved and you want to feel bigger than you are and than what the thing you're involved in is (DCU). It's about your feelings, not the reality of the situation.

I don't care about DCU because it isn't worth caring about. What I do care about is making sure that parents understand the reality of DCU so they don't make decisions with inaccurate information. It has nothing to do with DCU and all to do with leveling the playing field for parents who don't have access to information because none exists in the public realm. This thread is the only place, ANYWHERE, where DCUs shortcomings as an academy are laid out so comprehensively for all to see. You could never get this information from them, or anyone else really because they don't know themselves or even care to know because they only focus on the optics of the opportunity not the reality of it (like you).

You mean this is a place where some people misrepresent themselves as being knowledgeable and involved at the highest rungs of soccer because they figure, how would dcum parents know they're a fraud.

That aside, the anti-dcua axe grinding is filled with biased opinions laying out points that are circumstantial or presented out of full context without any substantial evidence or data or objective measurements.

Just a lot of 'I Say So'

There isn't a group of people on dcum promoting the DC academy as the best thing since slice bread.
The loud voices are the group shouting without provocation that DCU is the worst
Just because someone asks, where are you getting your crap from, doesn't mean they are Pro anything.

The entire US system and Every club/academy has significant shortcomings when it comes to delivering kids to the highest levels of international soccer.
No place in America is doing it!

Too many facts have been presented to offer them again. Keep pushing that bs all you want.

And so many are doing it poorly in the US, thats true, but DCU is one of the sorriest and poorest of the lot.
