Like clockwork.

An accurate perspective supported by actual coaches of the DCU’s own P2P clubs followed by tweedle dee and tweedle dumb (DCU PR intern because no parents could be this delusional about the landscape at this point).

Spain doesnt do that. They take a long term view on talent. We take the short term view. Barca versus DCU at u18 or even the second team versus DCU, would be an absolute slaughter.

Look, tournaments against international competition are always fun for the kids. But I'm not getting hyped up about u15 or u16 soccer. Most of these kids are still babies in the grand scheme of things.

And most importantly, no result anywhere would make DCU a good academy. Period. It would just make them beneficiaries of a strong talent pool.


The DCU kids can say something you nor your kids can ever say and no amount of your toxic hate can change that

They beat Barcelona Academy team in a tournament.
That puts them on an extremely short list of MLS teams and short list of clubs that face Barca Academy teams, period.

You Loser

What is your current or past long term affiliation with a top tier academy in Spain?
In what capacity?
Since you're presenting yourself as an expert.

Do you have the Barcelona U15 roster with DOB for all the players that played DCU U15's?
If not, what is your Barcelona source of information on the makeup of the roster?

You are a pitiful biased sad little person.

If the DCU academy is the worst, then that means all of MLS club academies are horrible based on quality of play and results.

Or their opponents are just weak? Let's see if they can bring home some hardware


I guess since they didn't lose a game in regular time against a MLS Club academy and beat Barcelona academy you can conclude all their opponents were weak

Makes sense to me

Right!! All of these haters judging the academy off of the ability to bring players into the first team is old news.

#2032

Just bookmarking this take to revisit at the earliest time when the results of this game could actually matter.

I could look like Biff in Back 2 The Future 2 predicting how this will play out.

Just saying…


This probably only makes sense in the small mind of the author


or the small mind of parents who pay attention to U15 results. Go 'Merica! Go DCU! You are better than Barca!

Just sayin...


If U15 results doesn't matter, why have a tournament with U15's?

test your training under real pressure and adjust the subsequent training based on whether you can perform under pressure

You're so despicable and full of self-hate, you're literally upset that the DCU kids are doing well and had success against the world's highest rated academy

Nope. Just trying to educate uneducated American parents to make American soccer great for the first time.

You're a sad pitiful little person

I am sorry I hurt your feelings. Would you like a lollipop to nurse your ego for not waving pom-poms and nursing your oversized ego from 14-year olds winning a game? I don't react to my kids wins or losses. They don't matter.

You're probably crying that Philly Union got beat-up in the same age group

Nope. Don't follow-up results of American tournaments. Had no clue about Philly. It does not matter. I only know about the DCU result from my IG feed.

The kids, their parents and people who aren't Haters are happy for the boys and don't need your useless approval


You should be happy. Good for your kid. My kid does not need your approval so I would hope that your kid does not need mine. That would make you mentally inferior and no where near capable of producing an elite level talent. I am sure you are aware that 75% of success at the academy level is mental. Are you able to mentor a strong neutral mindset or do you waver up and down with wins and losses? Wait, you are at DCU so dare I ask that question to DMV royalty, right? Congrats on the victory again. Please create a GA Cup patch and add that to your kids DCU letterman jacket. Take a pic and post it to your IG page. Rep the DMV bruh. Get hype!


Like they said in the movie, you’re just a sad little person.

Everyone is a Socrates and Confucius when the team they don't like wins a game against a top tier opponent

'Winning is nothing'

How about the team executed principles they are working on developing in different areas of the pitch and specific tactical elements with certain individual players that also came with a Win?

Where is it written in stone that losing is development and winning is not
