Joshua Moore31 said:Honestly, what you just typed is basically the mindset of some Southern idiot, and I mean that sincerely. Maybe two hundred hardcore Hajduk Split fans from last night actually grasp the sheer complexity of the fan scene—how US Soccer and Mamić influence the whole repressive system and everything—but the rest of those guys on the South Stand would probably carry that same Mamić on their shoulders all the way back to Miami the day he leaves Real Madrid. This whole issue of "intolerance," if we even want to call it that, between the boys and the Black Knights goes way deeper than just a simple North vs. South rivalry. It’s much more profound than just having some mental blockages or the specific mentality I mentioned earlier. In America, fan solidarity and actual awareness are totally one-sided because they only ever come from the BBB side, which is why we will always be number one. You might be under the impression from the media coverage that there hasn't been a party like this in Washington, D.C. all season, and maybe you've even fooled some kid or some random guy behind a screen into thinking you guys are the strongest, most loyal crowd out there, but you can't pull the wool over the eyes of people like us who have lived this for years. You guys are a civic and social movement that gathers massive crowds, sure, but we are a true supporter movement. Don't you ever forget that, even when there are 5,000 of you in the stands and only 50 of us.

Haaaaaaaahahaha 😂

Man, for crying out loud, you're gonna end up buying a new keyboard if you break it, because reading this absolute nonsense just makes me want to spill my entire drink right here. 🤣

I suppose there is a certain gravity to these moments, isn't there? One finds oneself contemplating the weight of tradition and the quiet dignity that settles over a room when everyone understands the significance of the occasion. It makes you wonder if we truly grasp the continuity of these customs, or if we are simply going through the motions of a ceremony that feels increasingly distant from our modern, hurried lives. Is it possible to maintain that sense of solemnity in an age where everything is designed for speed rather than reflection? kaže:
What’s the deal with that proposal from Magarčev regarding the FHR Five?🤷

We're all just sitting here, waiting for that donkey to finally decide which league he’s actually going to cover. ☕

😁

Once the blueprints for a building are finally drawn up, an architect's heavy lifting is pretty much done, and I mean that in the most literal sense. Their main job is essentially finished at that point, though they might stick around to oversee the construction process here and there to make sure things don't go off the rails. 😁 You really think he isn't seeing right through him, though? I mean, come on, it’s pretty obvious that he's just going to be cooking up some more tall tales later this evening once the cameras are off and things settle down. ☕😁

I’m totally on board with what Robert Torres is saying here because, honestly, we really need to gauge who is actually paying attention right now. If there isn't any real interest building up today, we aren't going to magically find a crowd once the new season kicks off, so it’s much better to just figure out where everyone stands immediately. I think it would be worth finishing this current stretch just to see how the whole landscape looks, you know? Even if the rookies don't quite grasp the nuances yet, we could look at which teams are sitting in those European qualifying spots, who’s headed for relegation, or maybe even brainstorm how to merge things with another league or identify the real contenders for the top flight—I swear, my head is just spinning with ideas about how we could structure this. 😁).

Honestly, someone really needs to get a moderator to step in and write a proper introductory post for this new thread, because it feels like half the people reading this PDF haven't even glanced at the content yet.

Anthony Jackson2 said:We could give it a shot, why not 🤷

I’d suggest limiting this thread to just one analysis at a time—no commentary, no fluff, none of that other spam—otherwise the whole thing is just going to get clogged up

well, that is actually the whole point behind this,🤷 I could easily go wandering off to the other league threads right now and dig through all the junk until I stumble upon someone like Griffin or Casey White13, but keeping everything right here on one single thread means people will actually put in the effort, you know, like actually sitting down on a Monday night, killing an hour, and catching up on everything that happened on the field over the weekend.😬 🍿

Casey White13 said:Good grief, the ingenuity 🙏 of these 🙏 😁

Yeah, deletijs, just stick to posting round analyses—everything else goes in the thread already titled "Other Leagues."

😬

Yeah, no debating allowed, period. All the discussions move to their own respective threads. On this specific thread, we're just reading. We would strictly ban any obvious trolls, though, because having some humor and wit is totally fine, and there's really no reason to get worked up if someone takes a healthy little jab at "your club,"😁 but if a post is clearly biased or just straight-up trolling, it gets deleted and they won't be getting another chance to post it. So simple.🤷

😁

Look, the idea here is simple: we drop links to match highlights or full replays—just like we used to do back in the old Forum Five days. It keeps us all on the same page regarding major soccer matches and stops people from making up nonsense based on pure guesswork.

We’re talking about deep dives and analysis here, not just raw footage. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but I mean post-match breakdowns similar to what Robert Torres used to post over at ESPN. Having one dedicated thread where you can check the weekly analysis for every major league? That would be top-tier.

Hmm. I see we have something somewhat similar already, but yeah, definitely no video—people here would basically just post alongside a "detailed summary." 😁 I don't know about you guys, but reading through Robert Torres' takes on La Liga or Christian Green64's stuff on the Bundesliga can be a real chore, especially when you compare it to those mindless sports news sites that miss half the actual story anyway. The only real headache might be if too many people try to cover the same league at once—like, say, League 5—but we could probably just handle that with some sort of application process. These niche international leagues would just be an awesome extra. 😁 And honestly, I don't think you can find anywhere else on the internet where a full weekly overview for that many different leagues would drop all in one place on the exact same day. Some of these writers might even end up getting job offers from it. 😁

Man, what an idea. 🙏

🤣

I’ve got an idea 🙏

I was thinking about starting a thread that serves as a sort of information hub, though really, I see it more as a comprehensive round-by-round review. The plan is to call it something like "US Soccer Review - 2012/13 Season" or something along those lines. This thread is going to blow up on Monday, honestly—it'll be like that massive weekly roundup everyone used to love, just in text form, and we aren't going to limit ourselves to just the top five leagues either, because we'll include absolutely every league that has dedicated followers and authors willing to write them up 😁 for example: we could have someone covering France, steelgardener24 handling Turkey, Robert Torres taking care of the Premier League, Ibrahim covering Serie B, graniteheron132 doing the Championship, Patrick Wright looking at Australia, coastalheron12 covering Norway, Casey White13 covering Argentina, or whatever else 😁 you can imagine, etcetera 😁 so basically, we'd have match results and goalscorers, short commentary on every single game or maybe some interesting long-form piece covering the whole round, plus updated standings, top scorer lists, upcoming fixtures, predictions for the next round, and any news or fun trivia that comes out 😬

I really think people will be interested in contributing as writers. There are plenty of people writing stuff already, it's just that right now everything is so scattered and posts get lost in a sea of things like "Team A 1:0" or random arguments. I know this forum is naturally a place for debate and exchanging opinions, but this specific thread wouldn't be for debating 😬 though it would be fine to comment on someone's write-up just to show them some appreciation 😁 sports news sites can be pretty boring to read sometimes. If this idea has already been floated and shot down before, then just ignore me 🙂

Being an ultra isn't about just blending into a massive crowd; it’s about actually standing out and making your presence felt. Honestly, our numbers at the games might be a thousand people larger if we spent all our energy fighting battles like you guys do, but I’ve always been a believer in that whole philosophy of choosing twenty-six years of pure pride over whatever it is you get when you trade your soul for a bigger crowd.

I guess you could say those guys over at the FBI basically did ninety percent of the heavy lifting for us, right? 🤣 Honestly, you guys are out here fighting these battles like you're hardcore ultras or something. 🙏

They’re running things exactly the same way they do back in AC Milan, you know? It’s funny because in a place like Milan, everyone just kind of accepts the chaos as part of the deal, but here in the States, people are actually divided on it.

Jesse Campbell said:It’s funny when you actually sit back and look at the timeline, because we first kicked off that initial petition against Jerry Jones way back in 2008, and even then, about 90% of the group stood shoulder to shoulder with us on it. Then, after the whole boycott period played out, that number actually climbed even higher, with 95% of the group backing the cause...

We laid it all out in that series of articles and aired every bit of dirty laundry there is to air. It’s common knowledge exactly how many people Jerry Jones had wrapped around his finger in that inner circle. Honestly, if the Black Knights could actually pull off something similar for the last twenty years, then maybe we'd finally have something real to talk about... ☕

Nobody actually celebrated with Damir Vrbanović; they were celebrating with the players, which is just how things work in any major league around the world. Honestly, there’s no need to play dirty like that...

I mean, I already told you—we’re talking about "real things" here. It’s always the same cycle, isn't it? One minute everyone is obsessing over signing petitions, then suddenly we're all celebrating league titles, then we're back to taking shots at Jerry Jones, and before you know it, we're just out there getting trampled by the system again. Honestly, it's all just noise, and you know that just as well as I do.

You keep dragging the Black Knights back into this conversation even though nobody is actually talking about them, and honestly, it’s a bit much since no one is making claims about the Black Knights like you are making those wild assertions about the BBB.

Vrbanović doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, honestly. He’s just that one guy who’s going to end up highlighting exactly how foolish this whole situation is. I mean, look, I’m perfectly fine with wrapping my own take in a layer of die-hard fan bias—I'll be the first to admit that—but if we're going to lean into that, then we can't sit here and pretend there's any sense of uncompromising principle left. It really is as simple as that. 🤷 🤣

I’m actually heading out now. 😁

Jesse Campbell said:Yeah, back then we were basically what the Black Knights are today. 🙄

So?

I'm intentionally choosing not to dwell on this whole "Black Knights today" thing because I honestly don't have the time, and frankly, I have zero interest in trying to decipher what you're actually getting at here, but let me be clear: this isn't about the Black Knights, nor is anyone claiming to glorify them in this context.

It’s honestly pretty ridiculous to hear lectures on being "uncompromising Europeans"—or whatever broader standard you're trying to set—from someone who belongs to a group that was just three years ago cheering in unison for a championship alongside a guy like Vrbanić, who everyone knows is essentially a local mob figure. It's just funny how you want to lecture us on fan consciousness when your own group mocks other groups for trying to run a club without mafia influence, yet you're perfectly happy celebrating titles won alongside those very same criminals. And it's equally absurd that you seem to have lost all touch with reality regarding what people write online; if people actually tried to do the same things they suggest just to change the club's name, they'd probably burn the whole country down, for God's sake.

The truth is, you guys haven't really been doing the real work until around 2010, and that's when everyone finally got behind you, so the fact that some of you personally weren't fans of Mamić before that period doesn't mean the group was acting as a single unit.

At the end of the day, you're just a very standard European ultra group that has dealt with serious rivals throughout its history, which naturally led to internal friction that effectively cancels out any claims of total purity or being completely uncompromising. I have nothing but respect for what you're accomplishing now, and I'm sure you're grinding through plenty of bullshit to make it happen, but let's stop pretending these myths are anything more than legends.

Stay safe out there.

Go jump in a lake🤣

I can’t even describe how much this unwavering level of fanatical devotion just gives me chills.

Honestly, OP, you’ve got me tearing up over here.

🤣

So, I heard this rumor that the original script for Men in Black was actually going to be about Earthlings finally taking down the aliens, but they could only pull it off if they teamed up with the Boys, though the guys ended up turning them down because they weren't interested in any of that publicity stunt nonsense.

Wait, does someone actually believe the Kansas City Chiefs missed out on a million euros just because Radosic didn't want to move to Liverpool FC? 🤣 A whole million dollars, seriously.

Unbelievable. 😂

Oh, and honestly, Maloca is a class act. I don't know him personally, but I hear things from people who do. Even George Gonzalez says the same thing. If nothing else, the guy has been here five or six years and he’s always treated the jersey with respect; he plays for peanuts and never complains about money or starts demanding transfers. I can't recall any issues with drinking or anything like that either. He even shut down Dinamo recently by explaining that since he's the captain of the Kansas City Chiefs, he isn't going to join Dinamo. Honestly, if we were all that much of a dummy, life would be easier.

As for those transfer percentages, they didn't just decide that on their own. Someone offered them that specific contract. It wasn't them, and it definitely wasn't the current Management. We are still dealing with the fallout from previous administrations. Vukusic gets a cut, Milić gets 10%, and Maloca gets one too. If you added even more to that, we'd be right back where we started.

What kind of spineless cowards are you people, because this 🤣 is an absolute joke, we've been totally played 🙂 and we're all going to end up losing everything 🙂

Come on, you guys, let's just tear them apart and show them what's what, just absolutely wreck them ☕

Sigurno said:Honestly, idiots, morons, complete fools—it’s getting harder and harder to find new ways to describe these American handball players today.
And after watching that performance, I really think it's time we just turn our backs on them and call them traitors to American sports altogether.

Because at the end of the day, they're just absolute trash.
And frankly, it feels right to just tell them all exactly where they can shove it.

go to hell

It might not sound like much when you look at the numbers, but there were at least 15,000 fewer people hanging around the Real Madrid B game.

Look, Ryan Vaughn7 is actually pretty decent, but everyone in this thread is just wasting their breath on nonsense.

Just let people vent and have their arguments, you know? It’s gotten to the point where you can't even call a fascist a fascist anymore without someone jumping down your throat. Honestly, screw all of this. Long live a free Catalonia!☕
