Some people are absolutely losing it over Tom Cruise because they claim he was 'killing them like flies'

Otherwise, this track is basically his calling card...

The fact that you guys got absolutely wrecked near the Kroger—and at the Mote Zar match where you acted like cowards attacking the US-Norway group only to get knocked out way past the limit—can someone please debunk that? You can try to sell this story about how there was some "younger crew" at Mote Zar to someone else, but we have the list... names, surnames, addresses, dates of birth for everyone who was actually there and ended up IN THE HOSPITAL... and also for those members of YOUR CREW who acted like total cowards, crying in the hallway just to avoid getting hit—YOUR CREW, which starts panicking and throwing everything they have! (A certain lifestyle... I know exactly who I'm talking about)
An absolute joke, seriously... what are you even doing pretending to be tough?! Nobody was even calling you out back then because we were busy away on an away game in MLS! Why don't you show up now with that exact same crowd, and we'll "honestly" find each other for a coffee... just so we can hear more of these stories about how dangerous the "older" Armada is, which seems to stay perpetually lost in the fog and never actually shows its face!!! Just read for yourself how many away games you've missed... Benjamin Hall already listed them all!
How can you even mention Naperville with any shred of dignity? You showed up with a bunch of toddlers, arriving incredibly late!!!! We were literally laughing at you because of the state of your group—it was honestly pathetic. Risking a stadium ban for a crew like that would have been pure insanity, because once again, there would just be excuses about how they were "too young"... we saw enough when we saw your panicked reaction just from us showing up!
AURORA... credit where it's due for the action and the crew playing Cobra 11, your group was decent, but after all the talk, you're still the ones who took the bigger hit than we did 😍
Just show up in Key West, provided it doesn't turn into another mess like the one against Zilin 😍
Kenneth Campbell64 said:Only 15 function calls... and Savannah only managed 3 in the whole league... what a joke. And then you see these guys acting like they’re some kind of elite authority in our pathetic little fan culture. Function fans 👎 are bottom-of-the-barrel for this scene—period.
Keith Ramos5 said:I’m on board with most of this—except for that one part in bold... I really think you should have included the ultras too! Why are they being left out? Sure, maybe they can't match the sheer numbers of the fan club—though even then, they hold their own—but they have a steady crew, deep roots, and they show up for the national team every single time... It’s always baffled me why they get skipped over in these discussions, because those guys are the real deal! 👍 Shout out to the ultras! See you all in Cleveland for the national game...
bluewalker92 said:I’m calling on everyone in the fan club and all the Cleveland supporters to stay sharp—don't fall for this nonsense being peddled here... Regardless of any recent setbacks, and regardless of whatever propaganda others are pushing, we remain the third largest group—right behind the Wildcats fans and BBB. Even if people try to diminish us at every turn, we are, by any reasonable metric, on equal footing. If you look at away game numbers, attendance at smaller home matches, derby turnout, the sheer quality and frequency of our choreographies and banners, the amount of pyrotechnics we bring, how we support the national team, or even the originality of our chants—not to mention the way we carry ourselves, which people always seem to forget (though I am not entirely sure where the demons fit into that equation)...
Not only are we on par in those areas, but in certain specific segments—choreography, traveling with the national team, showing up for the big derbies—we are actually miles ahead!! And those massive advantages, combined with the areas where we are equals, still give us the edge over the Cohort, the demons, and the rest of them!
As for the hooligan side of things, that’s a different conversation entirely. It is true that there have been some recent incidents where things got loose, and a few other times where we fell short—but those moments have been twisted by outside propaganda machines to look like their great victories. Yet, we’ve had incredible trips abroad that others couldn't dream of, there has been blood spilled, and plenty of resistance against our biggest rivals. Also, I don't know how much you follow domestic news, but it is widely known that the local police in Cleveland do their jobs better than anyone else. If they can be the best at taking down organized crime, believe me, they have the methods to handle hooliganism too...
Furthermore, I urge people not to disrespect the efforts of others. No matter how much someone might spit on us, one has to admit that some of the people typing on these forums probably bled for their groups just to reach a level where they could even be compared to us. And they were only able to get to that point because we stumbled. Much of what we inherited from the older generation took years of hard work to build—and while it might not be hard to match our current numbers today, they had to start from nothing!
Beyond that, there needs to be respect for every single supporter. Fans are people who sacrifice and give their lives for the betterment of the club and the group; they don't just do it for the thrill, but because they act out of pure idealism—and that kind of devotion is what deserves the most respect... though we all know how difficult the path for a fan is these days, given the repression and lack of understanding from the authorities... it's a thorny road...
mellowhawk34 said:Oh, so we won at Central Park, did we?
Look, we got hammered 7-1 ourselves—you really think that’s okay for us? Regardless of playing in the lower leagues...
mellowhawk34 said:Look, let's be honest—the Armada has consistently brought anywhere from 150 to 250 people to Central Park for years now, and if you ask me, that’s perfectly fine... it means we don't have those, shall we say, "trendy" bandwagon fans clogging things up. My only real gripe is that the Armada hasn't put on a decent pyrotechnic display in Chicago for quite some time.
