Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYay, a dozon or so americans play in EPL, Bundesliga and La Liga .... Our best young player is not a product of DA (Pulisic) and, collectively, US pros are weak in comparison to what is coming out of dozens of other countries much smaller and poorer than ours without a governing body not quite as wise as ours no less. What has been done pales in comparison to what actually needs to be done .... Its just not working. It's no wonder the girls of America said no thanks.
He played club for PA Classics for like 7 years. Don’t let one fact get in the way of your otherwise sound argument. You’re correct in the rest.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYeah, I am sure his time in europe as a youth and all of his additional outside training had little to do with his development as compared to PA Classics. Where are the rest of the PA Classics studs?

So I guess this wasn’t your point then...
“Our best young player is not a product of DA (Pulisic).” I put it in quotes because you said it and it was false. He was a product of DA, also played and starred for our youth national teams while there. Do a little research before spouting off and calling people dolts. Check the PA Classics alumni, not too many Shippensburg U players on the list.

Started at PA Classics at 11, left for Dortmund at 16 .... how many years of DA did he get? Not many (probably 2 or 3 since he played up and DA didn't go down to U12 back then as it does now). He came in as a star and left as one but it was no thanks to DA. That article details how much of his training was the antithesis of exactly what DA soccer is (which is making robots). DA and GDA naturally suppresses great players, it does not foster them.

^ this. They keep holding Pulisc up as the gold standard for DA when in fact his development had very little to do with DA. It was just a team he played on.

What's your point?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCompared to Europe's professional teams, yes, the DA training is lacking. Compared to non-DA clubs in the US though, an average DA club's training is miles ahead. Oakwood is an average club whose training methods and environment and standards are miles ahead of any non DA club in CT.

Their training is no different than any other club. If it was then no outside player could ever make an OW team. We know that’s not true
Only difference is that OW and other DA clubs get most of the better area players
