I only really talked to one Catalan guy (from downtown New York City), so I know this isn't exactly objective😉
Also, I want to be clear that I’m not trying to be ethnocentric here; I just wanted to share his side of the story, which honestly seems pretty irrelevant to me.
''Alright, so Spanish politicians are corrupt and weak... But what if your Catalan ones turn out the exact same way?'' ''Well, uh... we'll give it a shot, hopefully they won't.'' Yeah, right. Like that'll happen.

Yeah, kind of like how the Democratic Party operates, if you think about it.

A few weeks back, I was chatting with a Catalan guy, and honestly, I wasn't expecting the kind of answer he gave me.
I have to admit, I always pretty much assumed it was all about national identity—you know, the idea that Catalans just want their own state and feel this deep resentment toward everything Spanish...
But he told me that at its core, it’s really all about the money. It’s not that they don't feel Spanish, or that they hate being part of Spain, though they do hate dealing with a country full of corrupt politicians and a weak economy where they end up sending more tax money to Washington, D.C. than they actually get back in return. We touched on things like France and the Catalan language, too, but we spent way more time debating the economic side of things. It's like they tried making it work in Spain and it just isn't working, so they figure, "just give us independence, we'll run things better."
And when you throw all that heavy, bloody history into the mix...

Noah Price2 said:So, what are we actually going to do about this? We're just sitting here making jabs at each other, saying stuff like, "Oh, you guys really showed up for the away game, didn't you?" It’s pathetic. Meanwhile, we're all getting screwed over—just getting absolutely rolled by the system without any real fight...

I mean, we're stronger than this... as fans, we should be better...😉>

Tyler Thomas15 said:Honestly, this whole thing feels unconstitutional on several different levels.

The decision really needs to go to the Supreme Court.

Until then, I guess I’ll just be hanging out, letting my beard grow, and maybe just being a lifelong supporter of the American Volunteer, Johnson & Johnson, the local news outlet, and all that. I'll just stick to the home stands for now. 🤷

Everyone should probably go like these clubs' Facebook pages, because they'll probably check our profiles to see if we follow them. 🤣

So, am I really supposed to reach out to the club just to let them know I’m planning on showing up to the game? I mean, is there anywhere else in Europe where you have to deal with this kind of thing?
They could have just shut down all the stands entirely, and then we wouldn't even have to worry about hooligans, I guess.☕

Is anyone heading through Nin/Petrčan on their way to San Diego for the game this Saturday? And if you are, would you be up for picking up another guy too?

In Canada at the General Motors plant, the minimum wage is around $650-$750.
I mean, I don't think a country dealing with 450,000 unemployed people should just be turning away a Ford factory like that.
Honestly, seeing some of the stuff people are posting here, maybe it’s better if Ford just looks elsewhere—somewhere they'll actually appreciate them.
What are we even expecting? A bunch of executive roles opening up, or getting a government job through some family connection, or something like that?

I was wondering, is there maybe a Torcida or Hajduk Split shop over in Water?

I had this dream today, where we actually drew Chicago Fire 😁

Morgan Sanchez64 said:We need to sue CNN for libel. Seriously, let's pull some funds together, hire a lawyer, and take this whole stinking mess to court. I’m just so fed up with all this nonsense involving the youth academy, pride parades, and people throwing Molotov cocktails... honestly, it's just total chaos.
What has happened to journalism? I don't know... honestly, God help us all. It feels like things aren't heading in a very good direction.

Hey, if you happen to be reading this; greetings from the guy who’s basically a menace to society—you know, the hooligan, the outlaw, the total nuisance to American culture, the uneducated, bald primitive, follower of fascist ideologies, drug addict, and rider of the apocalypse...

You can't really sue them. It's because they always throw that word "allegedly" in there. Journalists can basically write whatever they want as long as they use that one little loophole to cover themselves.
Man, journalists have always been such a joke. I guess that’s just how it works everywhere you go.

If we just put two or three "hardcore fans" over on the South side and let them light flares for the whole match... 😉
And if John Smith actually takes responsibility for once, we could probably start betting on the point spreads and end up with money like Real Madrid 😁

I can't really watch videos directly through this link, but if you can tell me what happens in it or paste a transcript, I’d be happy to talk about it. I guess I could try to figure out the context if you give me a few details... maybe? Just let me know what's going on in the video and we can go from there.
I can't really watch videos directly through this interface, but if you can tell me what’s happening in it or paste a transcript, I’d be more than happy to sit down and give you my thoughts on it. I'm guessing it might be something related to the recent games or maybe some news about the league? Just let me know the gist of it, and I'll try my best to weigh in.

John Doe 👍
I mean, I guess they actually have the right melody to put together a decent chant. Maybe if they tried, it could actually work.
It’s kind of a shame they didn't set up the fan chant to match that one beautiful song exactly. I guess it would have been perfect.

We've actually been on the rise for the last two seasons, I guess.🙂

And you really figured that out just by looking at this one photo?

I mean, that just sounds like one of those psychological pep talks you hear right before a massive game. 😁 😉
All that stuff about having a brave heart and all that... I guess.

I don't know if Miller led the lawsuit against Real Madrid, but Smith certainly did.

Once he got the final ruling from the Supreme Court confirming he had a contract with the defunct Ford Motor Company—and that today's Real Madrid has zero ties to that specific entity—he threatened to demand that every single match played by FC Dallas be annulled. His logic? Since he didn't technically have a contract with the current club, his appearances were illegal. He even threatened to take it to the European Court of Human Rights and report everything to UEFA. In the end, Smith just ended up coaching youth players at Real Madrid.

Is this really love for Real Madrid, or...?
I guess you guys have made things way too complicated over the years. 😁 Maybe we can just keep it simple for a second. How old is Real Madrid actually? Is it 67 years or 14?

I mean, we aren't exactly going to lose this game against the Spaniards. I guess we always seem to play our absolute best when everything else is falling apart and we're backed into a corner.

So, have we finally locked down the insurance coverage?
