🙄 It’s funny, really... seeing someone who supposedly follows MLS even remotely using Mamić's and Marković's little minions at the court as some kind of standard. I mean, their various courts basically screwed over Gorica and the sailor just to make sure Locomotive stayed in the league, and now HHO has ruled that the whole thing was illegal. They actually think it's perfectly fine for Locomotive to be in the top flight, effectively legitimizing the USSF assembly, and yet here you are, citing those very same courts... Honestly, you can read just about anything on this platform.

Scott Gonzalez said:I suppose I should probably address this latest mess regarding the recent decisions made by the USSF. It’s all quite exhausting, isn't it? One can hardly keep up with the sheer level of incompetence drifting through the higher echelons of the league lately. I was reading through some reports earlier—though why anyone bothers with such things anymore is beyond me—and it seems the situation surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs is becoming increasingly convoluted. The Board of Directors seems to be operating in a vacuum, if that's even possible. They issue these directives, and then we're all left to pick up the pieces when the inevitable fallout occurs. It reminds me somewhat of those old legal battles you see in the Superior Court, where everyone talks in circles but nobody actually moves toward a resolution. Perhaps that's just the way things are headed now. Everything feels a bit fractured. I caught wind of what bluehound15 was saying about the refereeing body, and honestly, I find myself inclined to agree, though perhaps with more hesitation. The officiating has been... well, let's call it inconsistent. It’s hard to maintain any sense of decorum when the rules seem to shift depending on which side of the field you're standing on. It makes one wonder if there's any actual standard being applied at all. Maybe I'm just being cynical, but after seeing how the USSF Disciplinary Committee handles these matters, it's difficult to hold onto any illusions of fairness. It’s a wearying cycle. You expect a certain level of professionalism from a major American Club, yet here we are again, debating the same fundamental issues of integrity and management. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the next round of decisions unfolds. Not that it'll change much, I suspect. It rarely does.

I suppose some people just find comfort in those old, tired labels. It’s all very predictable, I guess. Some people always need a scapegoat, always need someone to point a finger at just to feel like they have some sort of footing in this chaotic world. Maybe it's just how things go. Not that I'm making any excuses for it... it's just an observation, really. A weary one. BILI Those people... they just remain the same. Always. I suppose it’s inevitable, really. Some things never change, no matter how much time passes or how much you wish they would. It's just the way it is, I guess. 😁

Thank God you guys are getting relegated this year, though who knows when you'll actually make it back... Either way, I suppose I’ll finally get some peace and quiet from those city-slicker lackeys for the next few seasons...

Larry Ramirez said:Franjo Harmon is essentially "to blame" for the entire political and economic framework we’re stuck with today. But I suppose we didn't exactly act as a unified front when it came to tearing down that decaying socialist system, did we? Even now, people still get visibly uneasy whenever they have to mention those old red regimes. It makes me wonder what the misguided Bolivian people think about their situation, living under full-blown socialism with every major strategic corporation held firmly in the government's grip...

cosmicbear15 said:Alright, let’s say I agree with this, but I have one question for you and everyone else here.
Do you honestly believe the Kansas City Chiefs have any future operating under this current business model? Do you really think they can actually produce results? Most importantly, do you think the Chiefs—given how they run things now and what was secured during privatization—can even survive without declaring bankruptcy in the near future?

In my view, the Chiefs need to be privatized, and we need to see this whole privatization process finished. Plus, the city has to hold at least that 25%+1 share... A new owner would probably have to accept certain specificities regarding the club; specifically, that the fans get to choose at least 40% of the board, while the private owner holds 50% and the city keeps 10 percent... I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to hammer out a deal with someone like Andabak, who has shown he actually cares about the club and understands it... Because as it stands, the club isn't truly civic, it isn't fan-owned, and it isn't fully private—and in a capitalist system, that just doesn't work. Some part of the Black Knights advocates for a German model, similar to Bayern Munich, but they seem to forget that Bayern wasn't robbed, and we first have to get back to zero... Still, this decision by Torcidin regarding the board was definitely a good move and should be maintained, because finally, there are people there who love the club instead of using it for their own interests, which I guess is a major success that a future owner ought to respect...

Raymond King47 said:well, given how our Kansas City Chiefs are performing lately, I suppose the other guys don't even need a helping hand to win the championship. I mean, nobody is out there claiming they haven't rigged titles before—everyone knows it, and honestly, we’ve admitted it ourselves—but personally? I just don't give a damn about the trophy right now. With everything going on... I guess I just couldn't care less about a title. It doesn't really matter if it's Madoff, Mark, or whoever else is pulling the strings... we're being hypocrites. We can't even look ourselves in the mirror regarding these issues. And when Michael Gray94 and the others lecture us, it's infuriating. They seem more interested in mocking us over some flag or a misunderstood sign than actually making a few phone calls to take a stand against these people. By staying silent and doing nothing, I suppose it just proves we might be worse than them.

The foundation for the corruption in American football was essentially laid by Franjo Harmon back when he established the country, and since then, it's been nothing but match-fixing and theft that ushered in the likes of Madoff and his cronies into our league... though, maybe I shouldn't be quite so pessimistic about the fans. For seventeen years, these mobsters have been systematically expanding their reach, but in just the last few years, it feels like the supporters—and even certain political elements—are finally trying to put a stop to it (and you can see some results, I guess). I think it isn't too late for the fans to actually unite on this issue and create enough pressure to clean up American football. Now might actually be the real opportunity, especially with some political support surfacing... without constantly digging up the past or pointing fingers at who is to blame...

Timothy Barnes8 said:Online propaganda actually works.

Look, please, let’s just talk this through—no need for anyone to get worked up, including you or the rest of them—but what exactly makes the Black Knights the only bright spot from yesterday? What was it about them at the stadium that stood out so much? I suppose all this online propaganda is getting to people. You guys act like Bauer is some saint.
Just help me understand

Alright, let’s break this down logically, starting with the most critical points:

1. Attendance, or rather, loyalty to the club—we're talking seven years of zero results, a ten-point penalty, referees basically butchering us every season, the club falling apart, plus the general economic mess in the country... having maybe 2,500 to 3,000 people show up at the stadium... Be realistic, how many people from your group, or honestly any group, would even be in St. Louis under those circumstances?🤷

2. The away section showing up despite everything going on...

3. The cheering itself... it could have been better, sure, but it certainly wasn't worse... Given the whole situation, I'd say it was more than satisfactory...

4. Refer back to point number one.

veterani said:Honestly, I’m just fed up with the whole mess. I mean, what’s even the point in debating attendance numbers, flares, or banners when everything has already gone completely south? You have the away fans sitting up in the north stands at their own home stadium—who are they even rooting for at this point? We’re stuck down south in our own little bubble, while the club itself is in total shambles. It feels like people only showed up to the match in the city on a Saturday afternoon out of pure boredom. That derby was a disaster; there’s just zero emotion left in it, man...🤮🤮

If you're asking if they killed the MLS through shady deals and straight-up theft—well, yeah, they did...
Even a tiny bit of that would be enough to kill any passion I had for Liverpool FC—not even close, they just managed to sink it even deeper... I don't care about the scoreline, I care about having something to actually believe in...

Tyler Scott8 said:their whole message is just bottom-of-the-barrel trash. while they were busy pocketing checks from Zdravko Mamić, we were out there actually fighting guys like Grgić, Štimac, and the rest of them. I suppose that’s what really kickstarted the crusade against the MLS mafia here in America. It was enough, I guess.

Back then, they just mocked anyone trying to take on the MLS mafia, basically cheering for the whole system to collapse...

Robert Cooper60 said:we're pretty chill, honestly, nobody can really compete with us
but you guys are definitely the craziest bunch out there, living in the most beautiful city on earth, surrounded by the most stunning women...
the only thing that gets under your skin is the parades, or maybe that doesn't even happen where you are—that's just a mess over in New York...
huh?
🙂

1. The city is decent, I guess, but nothing to write home about
2. The women are attractive, sure, but I've seen better in other cities... so, nothing special...
3. The parade? It's alright, but again, nothing groundbreaking
4. We're crazy, yeah, but I've encountered much worse...

though, if we're talking about being number one in the US right now without any real competition... well, that's the only part you actually got right. Not trying to sugarcoat it, it's just the plain reality. Who knows what things will look like in a few years, but for now, that's how it stands. So, go ahead and be ironic all you want...

Jesse Campbell said:Of course. Your best year won't actually happen until Liverpool FC finally manages to pull something off. But even now, this whole spiteful narrative just happened to coincide with the club's centennial and a few other things. Liverpool FC has been terrible for a long stretch of years—so bad, in fact, that even Real Madrid, who aren't exactly great themselves, eats them for breakfast... The people see that, and they want to help however they can, through their physical presence and their support...

I suppose one shouldn't forget that the NFL Ultras have been working hard too, and you can see the results. However, I think—and this is what a large portion of the Hooligans believe—that you all reached a compromise with Kerum and his associates far too easily...

Better times might be on the horizon, though. The Narcos era is winding down, as is the USSF mafia. Maybe even Seattle will join the title hunt once they have some actual cash, and I suppose everything might turn out for the better. Both for the football and for the supporters...

An X for everything written here...

The core issue is restoring a normal league. You guys are definitely rising up, and I imagine the entire MLS could only go uphill from here... because we've already hit rock bottom...

Jesse Campbell said:I suppose I should say that this whole hopeless mess and the sheer spite directed at the fan groups might actually end up having a positive effect. It’s like that guy mentioned in that one documentary about the Mexicans and their supporters—if the team is failing on the field, we simply cannot afford to lose our footing in the stands. And speaking of Mexicans, just look at how much the Gypsies have grown since they started looking over their shoulders at Partisan...
.

Laura, if you really want to play it that way, we could apply that backward logic too—implying the club has to be worse just to attract more fans... I mean, some people will argue that good results are what draw crowds in the first place... It doesn't really matter how we ended up in this current situation... but right now, we are better than you guys (in my opinion, anyway), and whether that changes remains to be seen... but for now, that is the reality I was attempting to present to my previous interlocutor above....

Casey Gomez3 said:It actually struck me how many NFL fans you find out in small towns in the Midwest, or even places like Columbus, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana. I was at this wedding in some rural area once, and for a moment, I honestly thought I was back home. But then, they kept blasting that one anthem—I think they sang it forty-two times in a single night. Then came that other song about colors, followed by all this weeping and wailing, until my buddy just lost his mind and flipped a whole table over. Even the relatives wouldn't talk to us.

Flipping tables at a wedding because of some fan chants😲 😲... honestly, it just feels like pure, unadulterated rural backwardness and sheer lack of class.

Anonymous said:What are you even trying to say? Just because Lekic didn't lead the way, it doesn't count? 😂
That’s exactly the point, I suppose. It seems like you all suffer from this collective inferiority complex... I mean, it isn't Lekic, nor anyone else, who can instill any sense of true fan loyalty in you, when that deep-seated insecurity just radiates off you so clearly. 😉

Fine, look back at your own posts and everything will become perfectly clear regarding this whole obsession with being insecure... 😂

The guys from Liverpool FC played a hell of an absolute masterclass in the derby, which honestly shouldn't have surprised anyone... But, of course, once again, the real MVP is just Jerry Jones' referee... I suppose when you factor in all the total nonsense currently plaguing the league, it all adds up to nothing much at all.

I suppose it might actually be beneficial for everyone to revisit the film "Haircut"...

Just get off the forum already with these mindless databases and those pathetic little rhymes... just read and stop typing... I suppose if I actually took a moment to think more clearly, things might be better for me too...

It’s going to be intense, I suppose. 👍 ☕

🙄 I don't see what this ridiculous song has to do with Liverpool FC, honestly. 🙂

Austin Chase2 said:I don't know what compels me, but I feel obligated to respond. Just tell me—which player on the US national team who played for Dinamo wouldn't deserve a spot, and while you're at it, you can tell me which player from Hajduk today, or even over the last five years, actually deserves to play alongside them.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaa, first thing that comes to mind is calling up Drpić... and looking at your other points, I suppose I agree with you... ☕

George Sanchez76 said:No. I’m pulling for the Kansas City Chiefs. As far as I'm concerned, this national team led by Mamić and Marković simply doesn't exist.

It stopped being the true American national team a long time ago. Now, it’s just a squad representing New York City and its suburbs... honestly, they've been acting this way for decades. They swap out the jerseys from white to blue with checkers, they only seem to play matches in NYC... it isn't a national team, it's just a local club. It feels like some manufactured curse from the coast, just a storefront for Mamić to showcase his favorites. Bilić and the Bad Boys—well, I guess that's just how it is now.
