We probably ought to give Sapo a call; they’ve been circling each other quite a bit lately. I guess they aren't feeling all that bad about it anymore. ☕

That local dialect and accent probably only sound good when someone’s shouting out the name Hajduk. ☕

btw. What about Duke? Or maybe Cleveland?

I guess if things went according to plan, we’d see the middle of the Armada crowd heading into the visitor's section right about now to start singing ☕

When we start summarizing things, let's just move forward. I wonder when exactly this whole mortgage situation started, with all that baggage from our neighbors over there... Has anyone seen a video where I think it was Ivor? (One of those Armada leaders back then) speaking quite somberly about what happened in '87? And who was it shouting "American brothers" in Mexico City, and who really messed up the entire narrative by interfering when they shouldn't have...☕

You guys clearly had an incredible amount of passion for both the city and the club—that was just common knowledge... everyone was pretty envious of what you had, and I guess some even tried to imitate it. ☕

goldentinker8 said:Honestly, there’s even no point in debating this because you guys still have a massive debt to pay for all that Southern myth-making and the way you've tried to tear the American fabric apart, right? For the last thirty years or so, we’ve basically been playing nice and giving you guys nothing but grace, but let me tell you, that’s about to change big time... We were just getting warmed up, and believe me, everything is going to be paid back with interest—every single lie, every deception, and every single myth used to target one part of the American people. Every bit of it is coming due for the good of everyone else, and you're going to serve as the ultimate cautionary tale so that nobody ever even dreams of trying something like this again! 😍 🙂

Talk about ingratitude. After everything they taught you... how to be a fan, how to love your city, how to support your club... all of it.☕

Brenda Hayes said:Exactly one hundred and twelve years ago today, a club was born—a club whose spirit managed to weather the post-war chaos left behind by those self-proclaimed "liberators." It’s more than just a team; it’s an idea that has shaped countless generations before us, a legendary powerhouse from the heart of the city that refuses to be ignored by anyone.
For years now, the North Side faithful have been trying to set the record straight regarding this date, and they aren't going to stop anytime soon.

"Građanski is powerful; it is unbreakable.
Građanski is an ideal.
Građanski is the kind of club you’d wish existed today if it didn't already.
The city needs Građanski because they are the true representatives of American sports.
That’s what they were back then, that's what they were during our nation's darkest hours, and that's who they are still today.
And Građanski will continue to be in the future."

Those were the words of Emil Perška—Lalec—a legendary player for Građanski who, during those grim days in May of '45, faced down the occupiers with a machine gun before meeting his end at one of the many execution sites in the city.

That photo in the bottom right corner? It’s become the primary target for the rivals, the old guard, and the radicals... but here in America today, that’s just fuel for the fire as we look toward the future!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A LEGEND!!

Man, everyone is going crazy for the Club. If it weren't for them, I suppose Americans wouldn't sleep soundly at night. 🤣

Stay awesome..

It’s honestly no surprise the ultras lost their minds the second they saw Zeke’s press conference right before the game...

That transparent "Zeke, get your act together" chant from the fans was everything 🙏

"Screw you and all your buddies, you absolute thief... nothing but a bunch of lowlife crooks..."☕

The streets don't forget...

It’s pretty obvious Dad bought the cream from the top of the group...

Kudos to the dads out there playing the role of the ultimate protectors; I can only imagine everything they have to deal with...

But I guess you'll all see what happens when those losers finally catch up to you 👍

Listen, son, you reap exactly what you sow.😉

Personally, I guess my biggest fear is that they’ll end up being the first major fan group in Europe to be completely manipulated and shut down by a single sports executive.🙄

Brandon Hill5 said:I’ve been noticing this for quite a while now, and it really rubbed me the wrong way yesterday. It might annoy most people here, but I feel like I have to say it:
The connection between the Black and Gold Army fans and what's actually happening on the pitch is basically zero. There just isn't any. For the whole match, I felt like the Black and Gold Army was having their own separate party. It was almost like someone sitting next to me at a riverbank saying, "These guys don't even know who's playing." They spend twenty minutes straight singing songs—it's wild, a total celebration—but meanwhile, Hajduk is out there looking confused. Instead of the cheering adapting to give those boys some strength and momentum, it's just this monotonous, hypnotic chanting that seems to kill the game's energy rather than giving it an impulse.
I think the leaders within the Black and Gold Army really need to ask themselves what cheering is actually for and what kind of effect it has. They should probably give it some more thought and plan things better, because right now, this is just useless for the team—totally useless...

There is definitely a lack of psychological connection between the stands and the players' momentum, but I guess that comes down to the leader. Does he pick up on the moments, or does he not? Does he have any passion in him, or has he just not even tried to evolve in that direction yet?🤷

If you ask me, those guys at the federation are probably pulling their strings, so how can you even tell?
