True. But when a MLS academy a little over an hour away has the same program and has four pros in the last six years...you have to start to wonder.


4 pros in six years from a heavily populated area with a long history of families from soccer rich countries isn't surprising

Also 4 pros in six years means thousands of players over the same six years didn't make it from that program.


Great argument. A club is producing pros but they aren't that good because of the thousands of kids that they didn't cultivate???? You've got to be kidding me. There are thousands of kids that don't make it from La Masia


La Masia is in the top 3 of academies that produces professional players

As with all academies in the world, only a small percentage makes it to professional.

Point is, MLS Academies aren't even in the mix to be counted.
None of them.


So your point is that all MLS academies are bad at what they are meant to do? Ok, so what? It doesn't change the fact that the p2p offering at DCU is a total marketing ploy. Your argument only amplifies this point since all of the MLS academies are bad at what they do anyway.


I believe you just paraphrased and created your version of what the PP is implying.

You are singling out DCU for being the worst academy, or one of the worst in MLS based on the perceived accomplishments of others.

The irrefutable point being made is, no MLS Academy is producing consistent high quality products in the way of Professionals going to top tier leagues


I'm pretty sure the PP said DCUs P2P program was a marketing ploy. Which is what the thread is about. Didn't really say anything about the quality of DCUs academy.


P2P is a MLS universal mandated marketing ploy


False. Not all clubs have it

But yet pros are in fact produced from them. As listed and are going to top clubs in top leagues.


You obviously aren't even pretending to be serious by saying MLS academies are developing pros to top tier international leagues from U-littles

Naming a couple exceptional outliers out of many thousands is beyond a ridiculous argument.


I'm done, you obviously know very little...

Which MLS Academy is churning out Pros to top tier Division 1 leagues?

Rhetorical, because we all know the answer in none.

How many players on the US Men's National team for the past 4 years came entirely through a MLS Club Academy, U-little to Pro? 🤔


Turning out pros to Division I? That doesn’t even make sense. Try again please.


La Laliga is Division 1
Premier League is Division 1
Bundesliga is Division 1

Philadelphia Union. Both Aaronson brothers and now the younger Sullivan who will go to mannl city in a few years.

At least two that I know of: Pepi (Dallas), Aaronson (union). Probably others.
