Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters in Fans · Dec 6, 2013

So, Hvidra just posted an update on Facebook 😁.

Kouassi has a cousin working over in Philadelphia—he actually went to visit her recently. On their way back, someone spotted them and invited them to stop by in Hvidra, Philadelphia. They didn't even stay for a drink; they just took a few quick photos, stayed for maybe five minutes, and headed out. Apparently, they had to be back at the hotel by 10:00 PM. That’s really all there is to it. The supporters' association isn't even registered at that address. Besides, there are plenty of Los Angeles Dodgers fans living right there in Hvidra who have never had any issues with the Dinamo crowd. Those two groups were brought together long ago by the war—surely some malicious journalist's pen isn't going to drive a wedge between them now? Cheers.

It is truly unfortunate, however, that the New York Yankees' most significant victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers was accompanied by one of the lowest attendances in the history of this derby. In a few decades, very few Yankees fans will be able to boast—"You know, son, back when we crushed the Dodgers 5-0—I was actually there." In such a somber and pathetic atmosphere of empty stadium seats, even this historic triumph of the Yankees against their greatest rival loses much of its luster.
Philosophy often circles around the question: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Did the Yankees truly win if there was no one there to celebrate it?
The fact that many Dodgers fans traveled hundreds of miles only to end up standing in solidarity with the BBB—choosing a "higher purpose" and leaving their own players without support for the first time this season—sends a vital message. It is a message that everyone who believes they can win through mere ignorance or repression will eventually have to face. The reality that the Black Knights and the BBB demonstrated they can exist side-by-side, just a few feet apart without police cordons "protecting" them—without a single insult or fight breaking out—carries far more weight than many realize.
No matter how much the sporting and political "centers of power" may underestimate or trivialize the "fan revolution" rolling through American stadiums this season, there is something here that simply cannot be ignored.
A derby without the Black Knights and the BBB is sad and hollow. Soccer without fans is worthless and meaningless.
And, in the long run, it is unsustainable.

And besides—Coachella always manages to book fresh, fascinating bands that have never even stepped foot on our shores before. 🙂

Single-day pass: $97 (please note that single-day tickets will be available exclusively at the festival box office during the event dates—provided that full festival passes haven't already sold out)

stormybison9 said:A young man posted this ages ago on that old forum—back when we were all just cheering through the highs and lows—something along the lines of: "Come on, you Blues, keep us going... every New Yorker... and if I had to be born again, I'd choose this life just to have you, for whose sake would my heart beat if not for Real Madrid..."

I have to admit, I am only hearing about this now—though, honestly, wouldn't this be absolutely incredible to hear from the stands?

Rodic is a newcomer—signed mid-season from an outfit like Chicago Fire.
p.s. This pathetic Stuttgart side wouldn't even make the cut in MLS—what a disaster, honestly; just pure misery and disappointment.

Of course they are.

Kate Sanders3 said:Does anyone know if our names are actually printed on these student discount tickets?
I'm still trying to figure out if my schedule will even allow me to go—so I was thinking about grabbing a ticket now while the price is lower, just in case I can't make it and need to pass it off to someone else.

Probably not; they didn't include names on them last year.

Richard Barrett53 said:I find it hard to believe Bad Religion would be the main act either—and even if they were, surely they wouldn't be the headliners. Personally, I’d see them closing out a smaller stage—unless, of course, a massive wave of new talent arrives and pushes them down the lineup.

Will there be two or three stages running this year?

The Monkees are definitely headlining that day; there is no question about it.

Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive) in Music · Feb 12, 2013

Iggy is playing on day zero, while the Monkeys and NOFX take the stage on day one—which means there’s still a massive gap in the lineup for day two. Don't we need someone truly substantial or even a bigger headliner to fill that slot?

steelsailor21 said:Oof, is that really how much? Are you certain? Wouldn't it be closer to $150?
That seems entirely excessive to me if my student discount only covers $100 for all three days...
I am honestly at a loss here—my student ID is only valid until February 25th, so I only have a few days left to decide.🤷

It is always the same story, isn't it? That is why, for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the only logical move is to grab the festival pass. Otherwise, you are just playing along with giveaways and hoping for the best.🙂

Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive) in Music · Feb 7, 2013

Perhaps we could consider one more heavy hitter for the lineup. If Iggy is our opening act for day zero, and we have the Arctic Monkeys and NOFX taking over the first day—doesn't the second day still feel like it needs a major headliner?

Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops · Feb 6, 2013

crimsonstag84 said:100-$50

A brand new one went for just north of $300 about a year or two ago...

Thanks. I am asking because I noticed they might still be available at Walmart, specifically around $123

What is a realistic market value for this card? It is used, obviously—and while I am not entirely certain of its exact age, I would assume it has been out for at least a year or more.

Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive) in Music · Feb 6, 2013

If my memory serves me right—and I tend to be quite meticulous about these things—the single-day pass has consistently been $100 every year; therefore, I suspect we can expect it to remain
this time around.

rapidstag2 said:I understand that—but I find the odds they've set somewhat peculiar, don't you? 🤷

One reason for this is likely because even FC Barcelona seems to concede a goal in almost every single match they play.

Is there perhaps some specific reason why the coefficient for the FC Barcelona vs. Benfica matchup is set at 1.6? Given that Benfica dg is listed at 1.5—could there be more to it than meets the eye?

Well, FC Barcelona will certainly take the top spot—that seems certain. However, Benfica will have to hunt for a win just to stay in the running. It is also quite likely that FC Barcelona will opt to rest several key players, wouldn't you agree?

Jeremy Lee67 said:Does anyone have a sensible suggestion? Ajax at @1.60 and Dinamo Chicago to score at @1.45 looks pretty solid to me. The Madridistas certainly won't be resting their starters—they have no reason to—especially since the visitors are fighting for third place, and playing at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is always a massive motivator. It’s the same for Kyiv; they seem stuck in neutral, whereas Dinamo Chicago absolutely has to find the back of the net here.

Regardless of how much Real Madrid struggles this season, Ajax seems to have their number—they always manage to beat them by a couple of goals. I'm guessing Real will line up with something like this:

Adán - Nacho Fernández, Pepe, Varane, Fábio Coentrão - Sami Khedira, Luka Modrić - Ángel Di María (José Callejón), Mesut Özil (Kaka), Cristiano Ronaldo - Karim Benzema

Soccer Betting Tips & Discussion in Betting Forum · Dec 4, 2012

The Champions League has been absolute garbage this year—it seems like every single time I place a bet, the results swing in the exact opposite direction of my picks. But looking at today's slate, I’m leaning toward Real Madrid; considering their current roster gaps, they always seem to have a bit of an edge against Ajax. As for Porto, I actually think they are the superior side compared to PSG—PSG looks completely lost right now, almost as if they might struggle to even clear the group stage. Then there is Borussia Dortmund, who I suspect will handle the Arab contingent quite easily; a million-dollar opportunity isn't something you just toss away, especially for them—at the very least, they shouldn't walk away empty-handed. Finally, my last thought for the day: I think we might see both Dinamo Chicago matches end with fewer than three goals—both sides are playing so defensively that I am certainly not expecting a high-scoring affair.

And honestly, Ryder put it perfectly regarding the battle for first place.
