Well, damn, I guess the heavy-hitting sanctions have officially arrived.

Paul Bennett8 said:I guess the joke's on us then—ICBMs (the kind carrying nukes) with an 11,000km range have been spotted being moved at a few different sites.

Honestly, I’m pretty sure this is just some old photo being recirculated. I don't really see the point in moving ICBMs around like that; the whole reason they use mobile launchers is to keep them from getting caught in a first strike by the enemy. There is just so much fake news flying around the internet lately.
It's probably nothing more than a little show of force.

Man, you're still pretty green when it comes to geopolitics... you clearly don't get how the world really works these days.

The logic here is just incredible. Truly mind-blowing stuff...🤦

"They fund every single evil thing on Earth"

Anonymous just hacked the Russian Ministry of Defense website and managed to leak their entire database along with it.

Anonymous has been causing absolute chaos since yesterday—hitting Gazprom sites, the Kremlin, blocking banking data, and now they've even breached the Ministry of Defense...

Matthew Rodriguez9 said:Look, I know exactly what I'm saying, but it's pretty clear you have no clue.

Alright then, why don't you give me a little masterclass on Silicon Valley?

Seriously, walk me through how Silicon Valley supposedly caused a war. Toss me a link or just give me a real explanation.

And please, spare me the whole "I don't have time, just Google it" routine. That’s just a lazy excuse people use when they actually have zero clue what they're talking about.

I'll personally eat my hat if you can actually prove that Silicon Valley is the cause.

Joseph Stewart38 said:Here’s a perfect example of one of those classic bait posts from a hater, clearly designed just to get a rise out of everyone else. And of course, it stays up completely untouched. If anyone even tried something similar on a thread about our side, but with the opposite vibe, they’d be banned before they could even hit enter.

So how are we supposed to have a normal conversation here? It feels like the mods aren't doing anything at all—but I guess why would they bother when they're basically playing for the other team anyway? Not like we haven't noticed, right...

You really think this is any different from the hundreds of troll posts still hanging around on Cow? Maybe the mods just don't hang out on the forums 24/7? ☕

Joseph Stewart38 said:If there had been two separate threads from the get-go—which, let's be real, they weren't—then your thread wouldn't have been "destroyed." There would’ve just been a wall between us, everyone would’ve stayed in their own lane, and we all could’ve lived happily ever after.

Look, the suggestion was made right away to just start your own thread on another page or further down the list once Ziggy Pop tried to troll everyone at the jump. It wasn't like the mods nuked this thing out of nowhere; Hildegard actually opened it up. And since the mods have learned from past threads where people kept crashing "hater" threads, they put a warning up.

If you guys had just started your own thing and maybe asked a mod to put a similar warning on ProRepKit, I’m pretty sure that would’ve happened too.

But I guess it was just more fun to head over there and stir the pot, and well... look how that turned out.

Jesse Howard43 said:Look, everything you need to know is right there in the post you just quoted, even in that bolded part. Honestly, you guys were getting on my last nerve, so I decided to jump into your thread just to call you out.>

That’s just not how it went down. You can clearly see that the "haters" weren't tearing up the N/A thread nearly as much as you're trying to make it look. It wasn't like people couldn't follow the game or anything—from the moment the haters showed up, it was mostly just jokes about Cosic and some comments about Dalicev’s weird 4-attacker tactic, which people kept comparing to playing old-school PES or FIFA.

Once we grabbed the win and things settled down, you and a few other moralizing types spent the whole night posting and dragging everyone, and basically, that thread was trashed from then on. That's probably why you ended up banned anyway, since you were basically leading the charge that night.

Jesse Howard43 said:So, I was just looking through the threads and it hit me—why is it that none of these fan groups actually include a clear set of guidelines or a "code of conduct" right there in the opening post? It feels like we're missing that roadmap to keep things from getting messy.

Is it really that much to ask? Just open one thread for one side and one thread for the other, put warnings on both, and everyone just lives in peace. I honestly don't get why people are suddenly acting like the other threads are "fanboy" territory when there aren't even any rules or warnings in them, leaving them wide open for anyone to say whatever they want. It’s getting ridiculous because all the haters just flock to those fan threads and completely trash them. It makes it almost impossible to actually talk about football without someone constantly getting under your skin with random troll comments—calling people names, calling us losers, saying we support criminals, or just wishing for us to lose everything. It's just an endless cycle of nonsense.

Look, I didn't even start this whole hate thread myself. I didn’t really wrap my head around it until now, but it seems like all those high-strung trolls from that one specific thread always migrate over to every single national team match discussion. It’s the same old story: they show up just to talk trash, act obnoxious, and cheer for literally whoever we're playing against. Honestly, it's getting a bit much. Honestly, this thread is pretty much the only reason I’ve even bothered to show up here. Honestly, the first time I saw her name, I actually crossed myself. I mean, I knew right then and there exactly what kind of situation I was getting into. Honestly, it all feels a little bit like childish antics to me. Honestly, the whole YouTube comment vibe just isn't my thing. But look, I’ll go on record right now: the real reason those die-hard fans keep crashing your thread is because you guys tend to clutter up basically every other discussion on this sub with the same exhausted jokes over and over. I know it from personal experience—I had to deal with it myself. Realistically, if I hadn't been stuck reading your stuff 24/7 across every single topic, I probably wouldn't have even clicked on this thread in the first place. And honestly? At least 80% of the other people here feel the exact same way. You could start posting nothing but cheesy poetry starting tomorrow morning, and I bet most people wouldn't even give it a second glance.

Amy Bennett said:Why is everyone on this thread acting like such a bunch of wimps? 🍿

Look, you're telling me you weren't just trolling and actually went there? Man, the first entry on this thread says otherwise—cow died right then and there. It’s logged right here at 11:11 PM on June 16th. You were definitely there. First! He showed up just to stir the pot and have a little fun gloating over all the haters who were dead wrong, right after everything wrapped up with the big merger. ☕

Joseph Stewart38 said:You want an example of hate? Fine, here’s a textbook case: someone actually admits they hate something, and—surprise, surprise—it’s because it isn't part of their "inner circle."..

Check this out.

Pretty solid read, right? Everything is laid out perfectly.

Oh, look at that—looks like Frank Drebin went ahead and issued a ban in the meantime. Well, how absolutely shocking... 😂

Total lies and complete distortions. You pulled that post from a totally different thread, not the one we were actually discussing. That guy never even stayed on topic in the thread you complained about; he just swooped in out of nowhere, which is why the "hater" crowd laughed him off and told him to stop posting such nonsense. One quote is more than enough to prove it.

As for me being "over & out," I have zero intention of going back and forth with you forever. It's pretty obvious that online drama is your fuel—you seem to thrive on these little conflicts just to feel superior and morally upright, because honestly, no matter where you show up, your writing style is always the exact same.

P.S. Look up the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Joseph Stewart38 said:You call them memes, little poems, whatever... all innocent little kids' stuff. It was all so sweet and wholesome... right up until those hardcore national team fans showed up and absolutely nuked that peaceful vibe.

Man, you're totally misreading the room. If I were to drop ten examples right now of the heavy-duty, gutter-tier insults people throw around—stuff you wouldn't even hear at an NFL stadium—I wonder what you'd say then... would you still be calling them "satirical little poems"?

Look, anyone who actually understands irony could see this whole thing was just meant to be satirical. You guys showed up to hate on the "haters" so seriously that you missed the point entirely. If you weren't just cherry-picking the parts that fit your narrative, you'd see that's exactly what I was going for.

And honestly, you can't be surprised when people fire back with insults. Seriously, you guys love to jump in with the fake moral high ground, lecturing everyone and acting like they're trash for hating on anything American, and then you act shocked when people bite back? Get real.

Mamić said:Once again, the dark times have arrived
The sadness of opening this gloomy thread
I should cast out the demons within you all
Like Saint Paul, I'll send my message through the air

Everyone knows I'm a spiritual being
That breezy atmosphere just helps it along
The hand sanitizer dispenser is working overtime
Kolinda's count is at three, while the rooster still sleeps

I'm just disappointed, not even angry, really
But I'm launching a verbal assault with everything I've got
Against those who won't let me reach the stands
To give some pointers to Luke, my second favorite son

Because some rule of theirs is standing in my way
How is Luke supposed to sign off for the national team without me?
I told him: "What if Zlatko doesn't even pick you?"
He just gave me his usual look: "Forget about it."

I'll admit, my throat feels pretty tight right now
But I don't give a damn about social media
They post my photos and make fun of me, obviously
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and now even the FBI

That's enough for now, but we'll talk again soon
I won't lump all you haters into the same category
You'll just try to provoke me so you can shout "He's so arrogant"
I'm a gentleman to you all, for ages to come, amen.

ZadrankaDomRata said:Let the kids have their turn too
Your words are as bitter as wormwood to me
We never imagined we'd reach this point
Where such massive powers have grown so strong

We came here with fire in our hearts to support
To write our triumphs and show our love
Watching our youth celebrate together
An Istrian and a Herzegovinian sharing the same soil
(though that first guy isn't even fully American)

Thinking to ourselves, what lovely days these are.
Enjoying football, prayer, and good food
Church in the morning, the forum in the afternoon
Celebrating our oceans and our fertile fields

But then we get blindsided by a call from the government agency
Turning us upside down like a broken hourglass
Our dear saints, don't go hoping
That they'll be composing anthems for the homeland over there

You'll see the ruling party over there wielding their weapons
With some right behind you and others acting like communists
All the patriots there turn gray before long
While Greater Mexico thrives in full force

And we quickly realized what was happening
Everything over there is just red, green, and yellow
As far as American identity goes, there’s nothing left but a crater
Someone really needs to step up and give them hell

Here are some examples of satirical little poems written about themselves with ironic nicknames—the kind of stuff the "haters" used to post before you guys showed up and soured everything with your sincere hatred for anything you perceive as un-American without actually having any proof for it.

And then, once the mods finally stopped tolerating it and started ignoring the warnings, everyone runs straight to the PŽK claiming the mods are being evil. 🙂

People are acting like two specific guys need to step back from politics, even though 90% of their posts are nothing but political commentary anyway. ☕

And honestly, the only reason people are even talking about politics is because you lot started labeling anyone who disagrees with you as "haters" or people who just hate everything American, the President, and so on.

If you actually bother to scroll through the first five or ten pages of this thread, you’ll see it was just a bunch of satirical memes and jokes. But then, right after the first big victory, you guys swooped in like a specialized task force to start lecturing everyone else on morality.

Go ahead, though—keep being hypocritical and bickering among yourselves.

Hildegard The user said:

The picture and the title pretty much say it all.☕

Mod Note: Just a heads-up, we aren't doing any preaching or lecturing about patriotism, sacred values, or whatever else here. There's no need for that kind of moralizing. The title makes it pretty obvious what this thread is about, so if it rubs you the wrong way, feel free to just skip it. No harm done.

Honestly, you guys are just playing dumb. You completely ignore the warning sitting right there in the very first post from day one, and then you have the nerve to cry about it once you actually get banned.
The only real issue here is that the mod team was way too chill for their own good. They let you guys troll for days on end without stepping in, and honestly, that just gave some of those haters the green light to go start drama in other threads too.
Honestly, you guys who show up just to go toe-to-toe with the haters every single time the national team pulls off a win are the ones who totally killed this thread. You’ve managed to turn what should have been some lighthearted satire and a fun way to hang out—just like we've done in years past—into this toxic mess filled with nothing but hate and political bickering.
