I am watching the U-17 final on FSW right now and was wondering what happend to our teams in the Super Y League? After all, what are we paying Harkes for.

I did some searching on the DC website with no luck.

I remember us making it to the final a couple of years back.

A little more searching and I found out that the U14 teams made it to the national tournament.

U-14s won their group according to this page, but didn't qualify for the Semi's as the team that finished 3rd in their group did?

Maybe the found out the Freddy is now 15 and was inelgible.

My sister played on the oldest girls team (u19?) and my dad was the team manager. From what I was told, Harkes was having a lot of trouble getting people to work with him and the vision he had for the system. Maybe these problems were more in the older groups, I have nothing to compare it with. He was caught up doing the DC United Academy camps, and couldn't do as much hands on coaching with the teams as he wanted.

One memorable story was when Harkes chewed out some front office type who failed to reserve a bus for a road trip...it went something like "This is my reputation on the line, not yours...you have no reputation."

Egotistical, sorry I love that word.

"This is my reputation on the line, not yours...you have no reputation."

Sorry, that's one of the best quotes I've ever heard! Almost Ray Hudson worthy... I hope someone in the press picks that up for a "quotes of the week" section at the end of a sports article.
