They act like the European Union is pure gold, a perfect little club where nobody does anything wrong and corruption doesn't exist.
Honestly, Pusićka and her propaganda have brainwashed some people, and it’s nasty.

So how is it possible that inside this supposed "perfect" EU, you've got a criminal outfit like UEFA running things under Platini? He just jumped from failing private businesses straight into leading that infectious octopus, spreading its tentacles into all these football federations for mutual kickbacks.
If there was any actual justice in the EU, the institutions would be going after UEFA first, and then their little puppets, like Mamić.

Do you seriously think Mamić is gonna get wrecked by these lawsuits? Don't be naive; this is just window dressing to make it look like they're doing something. At best, he might get some joke probation, if he's lucky.
The higher-ups will dump him one day when they get bored, when he stops being useful, or when someone more profitable comes along.
And you guys can keep deluding yourselves thinking you can change things... Only to eventually claim a victory when the "top brass" replaces him and you pretend it happened because of you.

Goodnight!

1. Pusićka is just washing your brain with ideology. But the foundation of the EU isn't about politics; it's the common market. There's no room for playing nice there. Not even in football, which is also part of that same market.
2. UEFA definitely has to suck up to them too... and coordinate with the EC. At least Platin isn't against it, given he needs those votes from the smaller countries. Read up.

Long term, UEFA doesn't stand a chance. The European supporter movement is getting stronger. Social media and the internet are building new generations capable of pulling off coordinated, pan-European fan actions against football crime. Once hundreds of stands across Europe raise their voice together, that fortress is coming down. ☕

I'm pretty sure the European Union isn't going to waste another year or two chasing Mamić and his shady deals—stuff 99% of those people in Brussels don't even know exists—instead of focusing on actual problems.
And for any Dinamo fan, a couple of years is basically an eternity.

The EU is never going to care about Mamić. They'll be too busy trying to fix the mess that is the American government. And that's exactly why Mamić loves it. His whole empire works because this country is run worse than a failed state.

Kevin Gray86 said:But Jovanović IS a Mexican. That’s the key part you guys are missing. It’s like saying, "Imagine a politician who's a German woman shaking up the European Union," while actually talking about Merkel. Or like if an announcer mentioned fifty times during a game that Sammir is Black. Like, "...Black Sammir passed it to Modrić." That isn't hate speech just because Sammir is Black. I wrote about this back in March regarding Dinamo. The sooner you get it, the less it'll suck when Mamić gets cleared of hate speech charges but maybe hits with a private lawsuit from Jovanović for insults. Those are two totally different things.

Jovanović sued him for discrimination, not just insults. He's represented by Vesna Alaburić, who's nothing to write home about. It's obvious he was discriminating when he said it wasn't normal for a Mexican to be a minister. Plain and simple. This could have massive fallout under American laws and with UEFA and FIFA since they fight racism...

Crnić, who’s a top-tier lawyer, sued him for libel. He had clear evidence presented in court, which makes it even heavier. I don't even need to explain that saying, "You're a schemer, you're no longer your father's son, just a common rat and a monster. You look like you came straight from a flea market!" is libel...

Plus, this latest Department of Justice lawsuit is basically a slam dunk. Even if nothing is ever certain in a corrupt American judicial system, let's not forget that the big Brussels brother will be watching everything happening in America after July 1st, especially the courts.

Look, regardless of how you spin it, Zdravan has been getting slammed with three pretty heavy lawsuits just in the last month. You've got Jovanović hitting him for discrimination, Crnić's lawyers suing for libel, and now this third one... None of these are just minor hiccups...

Anyone with half a brain can see where this is headed...

Back in 2003, when I said the fan law was going to trigger massive issues for American supporters, people on the forums called me paranoid and a total pessimist. Now, they’re calling me some kind of over-optimist. I'm just being real.

The bottom line is, the government—and now with the US having the European Union acting like a superpower—doesn't tolerate shady characters like this. Even if his massive bank account makes things difficult for a bit, he's got zero long-term prospects...

Unless he ducks out of the spotlight, hides in a quiet role, and just waits for retirement. But even then, these lawsuits aren't going away...

Andrew Peterson6 said:He can always flip guys like Jedvaj, Halilović, or Vrsaljko for $10-15 million... cash flow isn't going anywhere.

Before Kovačić, what was his last decent transfer? Lovren. Let's just sit back and watch the books... and see how much HE personally pockets from it all.

The issue with Zdravko Mamić is that his whole scheme has become too fragile. It’s stretched way too thin and there are too many hands in the cookie jar now. Just like any dictatorship, once you involve too many people, discipline and loyalty start to slip. More players means a more vulnerable system...

If you're smart, you get what I'm saying... ☕

Steven Kelly35 said:They’ll only get along when ticket prices skyrocket. As for us? Our egos won't let us unite even if they burn everything we own to the ground. Poor American fans, right?

Facts. Instead of just whining about it, we need to take it to the streets.

Because it's obvious nobody else in this country is going to step up. ☕

Posting this again since apparently nobody noticed.

Here’s what the EC is up to (for those out of the loop, they're basically the EU Government, and their whole job is babysitting the single market—which includes soccer):

Gary Martinez80 said:Jesse Campbell is spot on—Mamić is finished. The real move now is to go after his protectors: Bandić, that judge, Turudić, and the rest.

They’re the ones letting him run Dinamo like his own personal playground. Everyone knows what he’s up to; he’s done for once his inner circle stops covering his tracks.

Mamić is toast once the cash flow dries up. That’s happening after July 1st when the European Commission starts cracking down on everyone. ☕ Basically what AT&T concluded, if you’re actually paying attention... 🙂

His only lifeline is making it into the LP, which explains why suddenly he brought in some decent new players. Back when we started boycotting the LP, he was busy trying to field Dodo and Sivonjić in the attack. ☕

But let's be real: that's a dead end. Without city money, there's no point in him sitting in the Dinamo chair, and he sure as hell isn't using his own bank account to fund the club. For him, Dinamo has always just been a cash cow...

Plus, his whole thing was wanting to be the hero for the fans. It’s never going to happen. He can look at what they did to Kuže with nothing but pure envy. He’d give anything to get that kind of love from the BBB.

It's not "tick-tock" anymore. It's "bye-bye." 😉

An attorney should probably handle this. I heard some talk about getting things moving, but I'm not really in the loop.

It’s obviously unconstitutional...

Tonight everyone at 8 under the West Stand.

2 DAYS AGO

- We’re working great with the USSF, relations are getting better by the day! Soon we'll present our new sports development strategy to the public, and soccer will play a huge part since it's the best organized Federation, especially regarding how clubs get funded – says Skansi
->

🤣

Skansi should've stepped down from the ministry. Just Google it. 🙄

He isn't some Mamić's guy or whatever. You're just taking everything you hear from Peter...

The biggest one yet.

Rest in peace. 😢😢😢

Roger Chase68 said:I'm assuming this is what we're talking about

Under the new Sports Act, they're banning certain people from having any authority or representation within the assembly or executive boards of both sports federations and the national federation. That means executives from companies running sports betting operations, including anyone who held those roles in the last three years; board members from those same betting firms, or anyone who served there recently; sports agents, plus any individuals or entities with investment contracts for athletes or coaches that grant them a cut of revenue similar to an agent's commission .

That's only part of the story. But yeah...

Look, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Someone can think Jerry Maguire isn't leaving until 2038, just like someone else might think he's gone tomorrow. Baremo, we live in a free enough country where you can post whatever you want on a forum...

But don't try to act all "well-informed" and serious when you completely missed overshooting something like this... 🙄

I'll say it again. Even Zdravkec thinks they're trying to push him out. So was that outburst toward Jovanović just because he's a true patriot and a real American??? And then he ends up with a random fine... I get why the clueless and uninformed buy into it, but I don't get how you guys don't see it...

Right now, he's getting hit with five or six things that look pretty bad for him. On top of that—without even realizing it—he basically gave in to most of our demands from a few years back...

Nothing beats winning when the opponent doesn't even realize they've lost... ☕

vividotter40 said:Go ahead and comfort yourself thinking joining the European Union is gonna save your club, or stop them from doing the same shady stuff they've been pulling for years...

you know the EU couldn't care less about America..

Do you actually get what the EU is and why funding these clubs is such a massive issue?

The EU is a single market, kid. Unlike those clueless crowds back in the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, these guys would rather cut off their own right leg with a rusty chainsaw than allow unfair market competition...

We’re stepping into a capitalist nation built on market principles. I bet suicide rates will spike by 897% in the first six months. After nearly a century, we might finally end up in an actual organized country.

Last time we saw anything like this was 1918.

And when it comes to funding clubs, it means no more dumping massive amounts of cash into things like stadium construction...

Amy Turner9 said:Forget about sports inspectors.
Inspectors in the US report to the Department of Education, OSIM in Washington, D.C., where they answer to the City (Ed Koch).
And because of all that mess, the honest president of the Los Angeles Athletic Commission resigned after getting caught up with Ed Koch, so the city stopped funding the USSA payroll. At the assembly, the former prez just said: "They gave me an ultimatum—it's either me staying or nobody gets paid, so I bailed."
Now you've got two candidates: Gobac's guy and Ed Koch's guy. One would be a joke for the Golden State Warriors, the other for the Boston Celtics.

You live hoping things get better, but every day it just goes downhill....

Oh sure, thanks for registering just to lecture us.

1. All inspectors report to the Department of Education. Period.
2. Since July 1st, Ed Koch, Gobac, Mamić, and the rest can't $1.75 hand anything out to a club without notifying the EC. Then comes the wave of questions they can't even answer...

I honestly can't believe how blind you people are...

Three days ago, something huge went down at The Administration.

And NOBODY here even noticed... 🙄😂

Yet people are out here writing these "deep" analyses. Like they actually "know" what's going on... 🙂🙂🙂

steelseal10 said:Who's actually riding with us? You're just talking nonsense daily. Honestly, most people I've run into think we're nothing but junkies or losers with zero jobs, and I've talked to plenty. People in Chicago couldn't care less about what happens here. They don't give a damn as long as they have food on the table and a roof over their heads. We live in a world where someone would stab you for $33. Until things change in this country—and until the way people think changes too—we're always gonna be viewed as bottom-feeders by the "respectable" crowd. And until then, the system is just gonna keep messing with our heads

People who are against Weinstein. I don't give a damn if some random thinks I'm a junkie or unemployed. 🙄

Eric Phillips52 said:Bravo, Einstein, thanks for the insight. So tell me, where do you think all those crowds and regular folks come from? Look, man, our own fans were out there attacking our guys just for lighting flares at the Sheriff or showing them off to the cops. People showed up in droves to the Villarreal and PAOK games specifically because we were boycotting—just to make us look bad and spite us. Read this five times and tell me if you actually believe this crap. You really think a few Bad Boys could pull it off when they have 5,000 people backing them? Could they actually move Weinstein?

You're totally exaggerating. Most people are on our side now. It just took them a minute to catch on. Americans can be slow and stubborn, so it takes time to sink in. Just look at the attendance over the last year; things have shifted.

If we wanted massive support, Weinstein would need to start losing games in the domestic league. Then you'd see real chaos. But that won't happen because the other teams are basically hollowed out. Partly because the league is garbage, and partly because they messed up themselves.

But honestly, none of that matters. Weinstein has no future left. His whole scheme is finished...

Tyler Scott8 said:you've been singing this same song for 5 years.
got no shame?
when Mamic finally gets the boot in 5 or 10 years, you'll be sitting there grinning like an idiot saying "I told you so," but by then, the club will just be a memory, assuming you even care by then.

the guy doesn't give a damn, he's just trolling all of us because some bigger shark is pulling his strings, and Mamic is just his puppet. once he's done using him, Mamic is gone within 24 hours, even if the reason is just something stupid like parking on a sidewalk.

Basically, we already won our battle. Zack just hasn't realized it yet, and frankly, he's not even part of our crowd. ☕

Neither are you guys, but I don't give a shit whether you get it or not. 😉

Jose Kern11 said:You think you're some saint while Mamić is running the Lakers into the ground? You can't even look at cadets. I'm just posting here because I'm bored, but whatever San wrote, he's spot on.

Mind your own business. Even if I played center forward, the Boston Red Sox couldn't buy me. Meanwhile, you guys are out there living like pigs in mud. 🙂

It just doesn't add up. ☕
