On April 14, 2012, LA Galaxy vs. LA Galaxy ended 1 : 3
The LA Galaxy squad is missing:
Brady-Mahomes-Rodgers. Luis Suarez is back on the field, but honestly, since coming off that injury, he just hasn't looked like his old self at all.
Mbokani is easily their standout player right now—probably the best form anyone in the LA Galaxy lineup has—but he’s sitting this one out due to a suspension, which leaves the visitors pretty thin up front tonight.

The LA Galaxy side is looking solid, definitely showing more momentum than the LA Galaxy, who just can't seem to find their rhythm or get into a groove lately.
They aren't feeling the weight of a rough season behind them, and they've been playing quite well during this final stretch (it's the playoffs, so anything can happen).

If the scheduling works out in their favor, the LA Galaxy will likely walk away with the title.
There are four rounds left after tonight; next up they host LA Galaxy, then it's LA Galaxy, followed by a trip to Cleveland, and finally a home game against LA Galaxy.

Under 2.5 goals... 2.00☕

slytrucker51 said:and I honestly get the feeling that a lot of people watching this movie are going to try and spin the whole thing into some kind of extreme manifesto. You know, where they claim the group comes before everything else, and as long as that's the case, they’ll be die-hard loyalists. It's like they think because Hajduk comes first, then the Black Knights follow right behind, everything else just becomes secondary.

Bravo, truly.. 🙂

steeltrucker said:Look, guys, I’m tired of hearing these mindless little catchphrases being thrown around. Let me make this crystal clear for everyone: the Hell Angels come first for me, period. The Los Angeles Dodgers? They’re right there behind them.

I know it might be a bit much for some people to wrap their heads around, but 😉👍

Frank Kim26 said:Come on, give Tim Ruganjen a break, alright? That cop is just a regular guy—he’s got a wife and kids waiting for him at home. I wouldn't wish this kind of situation on anyone, seriously.

Look, even if there are tons of fans out there, that doesn't give them a free pass to act out or behave however they feel like.
I'm not saying we should mock someone when things go sideways—that's just not right, and nobody deserves that—but you have to look at the bigger picture. Like, why does everyone keep bringing up Miller? You really think people are just sympathizing with him? It's almost like the narrative is being steered. His life isn't going to be easy moving forward, not by a long shot, and he’s dealing with his own family struggles too, yet the whole thing gets spun as if he was some hooligan who just reaped what he sowed. So, honestly, all this talk about the officer doesn't really move the needle for me one bit.

Bryan Scott9 said:We really need to start bringing something fresh to the table, no matter what it looks like... I mean, back in the day, our chants used to absolutely shake the stadium, but we haven't really evolved since those glory days... 🙂

Exactly 👍
and honestly, if we could just cut out some of those soft, sleepy little lullabies people try to sing, it would be better; personally, I can't get behind that stuff, it just kills the energy and makes me want to lose my mind sooner rather than later

John Brown30 said:look, if we just focus on everything happening on the field, we end up losing that core connection with the everyday fans, but when we light those flares just to be stubborn, we actually manage to hold onto some level of sympathy from people, even if it's just a little bit.😍

it all falls on our shoulders ☕

let the stars on the pitch deal with their own mess, I say, ☕

Sean Sullivan87 said:It wasn't the flares that set off the whistle from the east side, it was actually because of those two or three kids who ended up running onto the turf.

Ah, okay, fair enough. I was honestly starting to worry it was something more serious than that.

🙂

..I think I completely forgot to mention what I consider to be the most intense, high-energy section of any stadium in America—the East Stand at the Rose Bowl🤣🤣🙏🙏: 😂

Jose Vaughn3 said:And when you look at everything else, just stepping back and looking at the big picture without any bias, they really are just better than you guys in every single way.☕

I really think it’s high time you finally made peace with that whole situation. ☕

Anyway, I was just sitting here thinking... is everything actually okay with that guy?

Jose Vaughn3 said:wanderingpuma18, what a guy🤷

During the first half, they had to rush a guy off the stands for medical help; I’m not entirely sure what went down, but I had this weirdly vivid dream that they actually pulled him out of harm's way, so if anyone happens to have any intel on whether he’s okay, please let me know. 😉

Robert Cooper60 said:We’re staying calm, honestly—who else could even compete with us?
Even so, you guys are definitely the wildest bunch, living in the most beautiful city on earth with the most stunning women around...
The only thing that really gets to you is the parades, or maybe that doesn't even happen there and it's just more intense in New York City...
Huh?
🙂

No, if you look back through my old posts, you'll see I always admit when we've fallen short; there's no point in lying to ourselves, but the reality is right now, you can't hold a candle to us.
As for the parades—unfortunately, they still happen, just like how other things happen during the season, unlike you folks where it's all become totally routine, though I get it, you're living that big metropolis lifestyle in Europe, man.😁

Anyway, that's about it.☕

Your whole argument is about as fresh as a stale donut, and honestly, it’s pretty obvious you're just trying to drag the same old tired topic back into the spotlight 🤣

quietgull51 said:What the hell is this "Ultras" nonsense... what is even wrong with you people? Seriously, who cares? We’ve been the Black Knights since 1950, which means we were around long before this whole "ultra" movement even became a thing. We’re the blueprint, the original foundation, so why should I give a single damn about some kids' designer sneakers or how someone looks standing by a fence? It’s all just noise. Hajduk is number one, and honestly, screw those Ultras—they’re just getting my blood pressure up.🙂

🤦

Elizabeth Mendoza5 said:I was sitting there thinking about how much things have changed lately, just staring at the screen and wondering if we’re all actually seeing the same reality or if we’ve all just drifted into our own little bubbles. It feels like whenever we try to talk about the soul of the game—not just the tactics or the scores, but the actual heartbeat of what makes a club feel like home—we end up circling the drain of these endless, circular arguments that go nowhere. Take the way people view the local supporters, for instance. You have these groups, these true Ultras who live and breathe the colors, and then you have everyone else who just shows up when the weather is nice or the team is winning. There’s this tension there, right? It reminds me of those old neighborhood rivalries back in Philly or Chicago, where the identity of the city is tied so tightly to the team that a loss feels like a personal insult to your family heritage. I was reading some comments earlier—you know, the kind where **feralwolf16** starts diving deep into the history of the club's founding—and it got me thinking about how much we rely on nostalgia to justify our current frustrations. We look back at the "glory days" like they were some sort of lost Eden, forgetting that even then, the administration was probably making mistakes or the fans were arguing about the exact same things. It’s like looking at an old photo of a classic Mustang and ignoring the fact that the engine was leaking oil the whole time. And then you get into the politics of it all. The way the big money moves in, trying to sanitize everything, trying to turn a gritty, passionate community into some polished, corporate product that looks good on a TV broadcast but feels hollow in the stands. It’s similar to what happened when big tech conglomerates started swallowing up local institutions in the Midwest; suddenly, the thing that made the place unique is being sanded down to fit a global brand identity. I don't mean to ramble, I really don't, but it feels like we're at a crossroads. If we lose that raw, unpolished connection between the stands and the pitch, what are we actually left with? Just a bunch of people watching a show? That’s not what this is supposed to be. We aren't just spectators; we're part of the fabric. I truly believe that if we don't protect that essence, we're going to wake up one day and realize the thing we loved has become a ghost of itself.
I guess I’ll start by saying that originally, this was all written by 100s.
Man, everything this Nikša guy says in that article when they ask him about the Black Knights... it just hits home. I’ve known his words by heart for years now. He talks about those young fans, those kamikazes who throw themselves into the fray, falling down only to get right back up again. And honestly, "mystic old school hooligans" is such a perfect title for this topic. Back then, we didn't need flashy photos or high-def videos; it was all just raw stories and shared memories that you can still practically feel if you close your eyes. When this was all happening, I was barely ten years old, and the Black Knights were my absolute heroes—they were the whole reason I started showing up to games a year or two later. I remember my very first match, standing there with my crew in the North Stand, and it was an absolute spectacle from the jump, especially against Olympique de Marseille. People have different versions of what those guys meant to them; to some, they were local legends, to others like Superman, or maybe like those famous biker gangs, or even just a father figure or an older brother. For me, it was the rivalry between the coast teams and the Black Knights. All these articles talking about the Black Knights during that Marseille game should be pinned to the front page of every fan site, and frankly, that's all anyone should ever talk about. If you weren't part of that, you weren't truly one of us. It breaks my heart to see how things changed. Sadly, some generations came along and joined the fold just because it turned into a party, a circus, or a way to celebrate being from a certain region. I could never wrap my head around it, much less accept it—the idea that a group as legendary as the Black Knights once was would turn into nothing more than massive banners carried by every small-town fan in the state. How does the number one hooligan and Ultra group in all of Europe become synonymous with a cheap carnival, or a bunch of random fans drunkenly shouting in their jerseys at a stadium fair, singing "Black Knights are the best"? Think about the journey. In just about ten years, we went from being those kamikazes that journalists tried to smear—those guys whose presence made mothers terrified to let their kids near the "white boys," while the media lynched us and the club itself lived in fear, even as every other fanbase deeply respected and admired us—to this. We went from that era to this mess of festivals, rural caricatures, fighting off groups like the London hooligans, and eventually to this traveling circus of tacky props and pathetic media coverage. And even today, even though things are finally starting to swing back toward the right direction, we are still outnumbered. There are still way too many of these "other" types of fans, easily more than half the crowd. But why? And for how long? Because if you weren't there for the grit of those coastal rivalries or that clash with Marseille, then you aren't really a Black Knight.

I grabbed this copy from an old online forum—hopefully, someone here can actually make sense of what this guy was trying to get at.🙂

👍👍

velvetskipper52, I think you’re definitely misinterpreting a few things here, maybe even missing the point entirely on certain concepts 😕
What does being an NFL Ultra actually mean to you? What kind of movies have you been watching, or what kind of headspace are you stuck in? 🤷

edit—since you’re so obsessed with bringing up the opposition and mentioning them in every single one of your posts, why don't you actually lay out your reasoning? Go ahead, write a whole novel if you have to; I’m sure plenty of people would be interested in reading it.

Come on, man, what are you even talking about with this "robots" nonsense? Using technical terms as an excuse just doesn't fly here. Not in my book.
Look, nobody expects us to spend ninety minutes straight screaming our lungs out against some underdog team like we do when we're facing a powerhouse like the Dallas Cowboys, but this? This was lazy. Blaming a long break or someone's birthday is a weak excuse for why the energy wasn't there. It felt like we weren't playing for the group, and honestly, that’s not how we want to present ourselves to the world. I heard some people saying yesterday was great, but if you think that, you're totally out of touch—no offense intended, that’s just how I see it.
And you, acting all surprised by the phrase "everything for the group"... you're typing like it's some big mystery or something we haven't realized yet. What part of that is actually confusing? Seriously. 😕

Usually, when you say something like that, people get all defensive and feel like you're personally attacking them, so they start hitting you with those classic, snarky retorts like, "Well, if you're such an expert, why aren't you running the show?" and things like that.
But honestly, let’s just set aside the whole madness regarding the choreography and the fans rooting against teams like Seattle or Portland for a second. I truly believe that anyone who actually cares about the culture of being a supporter and has a realistic outlook can see that after what happened yesterday—and honestly, looking at things even before that—there’s a massive amount of stuff that needs to change, because what we saw was nothing short of a total disaster (especially considering it was a birthday celebration and we've had a two-month break).

What exactly makes cheering feel "bad" compared to just cheering "normally"?
If everyone had actually shown up and given it their all, things probably wouldn't have turned out the way they did... but honestly, I’m just too drained to even get into it right now. I'm just sitting here feeling totally worn out and frustrated.
