Larry Wells2 said:Everyone head east today, let's get behind our Dinamo.

I mean, we've got Goncalo, Eduardo, Sigali, Machado, Pinto, Soudani, Fernandes, Henriquez... basically just a bunch of walking ATMs designed to drain our accounts. And then there's Mamic, Antolic, Barisic, Svetina, Marcinko, Hanzekovic, and the rest of the front office. Like, which Dinamo are we even talking about here?

Keith Myers4 said:Honestly, I thought there were like 60 or 70 BBB fans there, but maybe it was just 40... doesn't really matter now, I guess. Even that little group of 10 people got jumped by those CSKA Kyiv guys.

Just 7 people, and they still ended up facing an opponent that was four times their size, I guess.

Look, getting into the country isn't the issue here. We’ve managed to pull it off in Glasgow, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, you name it. Just explain to me how we get into the stands right next to all the regular fans, especially when the club and local police were busy sending photos of us to those foreign authorities. In Denmark, our guys were just wandering the city until they caught us outside the stadium, then they went running to the local cops claiming we were terrorists coming to tear the damn stadium down. In Glasgow, they were hunting down our people who actually made it into the stands, tossing them out one by one! And in Lithuania, there were more SWAT teams with rifles pointed at us than there were Bad Boys present—imagine if things actually kicked off then. Seriously, given all that, try walking into a stadium and forming a group that can actually cause real trouble. You’re being an idiot. The only real shot we got was in Milan, and we took it. So, what did your little group actually do in Milan? Threw three flares and four smoke bombs. Could you have caused the same level of chaos? Is your mom's eyes just as sensitive as ours? You had your chance too, but I guess it's easier to talk trash about people who have been grinding through this for five years.

I guess it's just one more reason to walk away and speak up about that shady decision made by this illegal management

Skipping the derby is honestly just doing Mamić a massive favor. It’s not like anyone is saying the fight is over or that we should suddenly start cheering for those Portuguese imports and all the other idiots wearing a Los Angeles FC jersey. If you ask me, I’d rather see us get kicked out of the top flight entirely, burn every single contract, flush the whole thing down the toilet, and just start from scratch. Honestly, the only reason to even show up at the stadium is to spite those blind fools and show them exactly how many people are fed up with them. We should be there for the full 90 minutes, making it clear we hate both them and the rest of the board, and demanding new elections.
We really need to take advantage of this moment because the energy in the air is huge. Even if it’s not for anything else, we have to do it for morale—to show everyone that sticking it out actually pays off. And why are people starting to question where you were during the last five years when things were at their worst? Look, maybe someone couldn't make it, or maybe someone just gave up. Whatever. We didn't fight all this time just so we could act tough later because "we weren't part of the 200 who quit." We fought to win back Los Angeles FC, and we’re actually close to the goal now. After five years of fighting, we can't just stop now.

George Lewis27 said:The US Soccer Federation and all that mess aren't even close to being finished, yet some people are already acting like they won everything and brushing everyone else off. You and your group of 50 "real fans" or whatever... you realize how silly that sounds, right?

Look, I’m not claiming to be any kind of "hardcore fan" or whatever label you want to throw at me. I’m definitely not taking any credit because, honestly, we aren't even close to the finish line. But, I mean, it's just a fact that we've taken the biggest hit here, so I guess the real question is what kind of shape we'll actually be in once this whole fight is over.

Spot on. Once they finally found themselves backed into a corner—you know, with the stadium bans and those blacklists at the local arena—they actually started making moves. Before this, it was all just slogans and choreo, and now suddenly they’re acting like the big heroes saving American soccer. I mean, better late than never, obviously, but they should've been doing this ages ago. For four years, things have been systematically trashed in every way possible, and honestly, if it wasn't for how much the Bad Boys stuck to their guns, the crackdown probably would've hit TORCIDA and the other groups by now. And even with everything going on, the Bad Boys are the ones stepping up big time in Milan, showing everyone who's boss, while the others are just busy planning stuff to make sure they look good and try to prove themselves to the same guys.

Edward Mendoza70 said:Man, please. Personally, I’m actually proud that TORCIDA was allowed to march through downtown. They didn't do anything to act like they were there to provoke anyone,
actually, it was the complete opposite. Look, we have to admit it—we need help and support because clearly, we can't handle this on our own. Whether we agree with it or not, that's just the reality.

Proud of what? Having some other group take over the main square in your city?
And no, nobody "allowed" them. As far as I know, there’s no official truce or anything. What kind of "support" did we even get out of that besides just being provoked?

I don't know, man, I guess people just get too attached to the LA Lakers even when they're mostly right. That whole protest downtown felt like a massive ego trip to me. I mean, I don't really get why everyone is hiding behind those slogans against the league offices when we all know the real reason they showed up. Look, I'm totally down to see different fan groups unite to clear out the trash, but pulling an action like this right now, while the fight against the league is actually heating up? It’s just a total miss.

Ronald Hayes4 said:Were any of you guys actually in Denmark? I'm trying to catch the game, but I can't find any footage anywhere.🤷

Yeah, some of us were there, but we didn't make it in for all the usual reasons, I guess.

Robin Anderson8 said:you can just feel it in the air again right before the game, phones are blowing up, and I'm getting texts from plenty of guys who usually stay far away from the stadium... honestly, the East side might actually be pretty packed this Saturday.. though we probably gotta expect like 2 cops and 4 security guards for every one of us.

I guess it’s best to grab tickets early, meet up at lunch, and everyone just heads to the stadium chill. Don't fall for the provocations or waste your breath arguing with those idiots who get a little $33 bonus if they pick on one of us.

EVERYONE TO THE EAST SIDE!

exactly, there's definitely good vibes in the air. And you know how it goes—every time the group starts stepping up, the higher-ups try to screw us over even harder. Don't be shocked if they only open one single entrance again, and more importantly, if that happens, don't back down because that's exactly what they're counting on. Just stay strong and let's all try to give it everything we've got until the end of the season!

Brandon Anderson34 said:honestly, I'm just totally lost right now... we're like 36 hours away from heading out on the road...

Anyone who actually has their head on straight should have been proud of how we hosted everyone in New York City, and how much fun we had soaking up the sun on the coast in Miami... and then, just like that, one night and everything goes down the drain??? Okay, someone mentioned the younger kids messed up, and fine, whatever, they messed up, but I don't get why the "greater goal" is being trashed just because of some random scuffle. Or maybe I'm just missing something. But if I am, then half the people on both sides were pretty clueless after that happened too. Look, I've been at the stands for a long time, I tend to use my brain, and I just can't wrap my head around being held hostage by the mistakes of a few specific people in a group I belong to. Let's be real—if the fans had attacked the Bad Boys, or done something to show that all those hard-won agreements lately were dead, sure, I'd be right there defending that first line of defense for our guys. But what about now? When I know most of the guys want peace, and most of the BBB members I talk to feel the same way—at least until things settle down in American soccer—who's actually asking me, or anyone else who's actually thinking this through?

Just a mess

go ask the guys🤷

This is honestly getting ridiculous. There’s barely any police presence even for the big derby. The roster is bloated again, too. I don't even know what the hell reporters are typing lately, trying to turn this into some massive headline when it’s clearly just a waste of taxpayer money. I mean, I’ve kind of gotten used to the chaos, but that watery mess they set up right in front of me? I just can't wrap my head around it 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Kudos to everyone out there, let's keep pushing! Everyone to Miami!!

electriccanyon15 said:So, since all this drama about the MLS Supporters Groups and Funcut on this forum really rubbed me the wrong way, I decided to write down my thoughts... though I'm not really sure where to put them:

Now, I’m saying this without trying to start anything, I guess. I just want to nudge at least one person from each side to actually think about what we're even fighting for here:

1. This whole fight is against the US Soccer Federation and those leaders who'd rather wreck the scene than fix it.
2. That scene includes a ton of different groups: the MLS Supporters Groups, the various local crews, etc.
3. Any agreement made between these groups applies to EVERYONE, because we're up against a common enemy—see point number 1.
4. If one group breaks the pact about not attacking others or fighting against the voucher system, it puts everyone else in a spot where it's hard to stay "friendly" with them... I mean, when people get heated and angry, things can go south fast.
5. And that just puts this whole movement at risk, because if aggression and hate between our own groups starts rising, it's bad news.
6. It would basically give the US Soccer Federation and the corrupt officials exactly what they want—proof that vouchers are the only way to ruin the scene. They'll just use it to justify more rules or stir up more trouble while our own groups end up cannibalizing each other.

At the end of the day, I find myself wondering why groups like the MLS Supporters Groups in San Diego or the Funcut guys in the South would even take that kind of risk... and like I said at the start, I'm not trying to provoke anyone.
BUT, don't the leaders of these "serious" groups actually have things under control? Or is the crowd in these groups just totally out of touch or acting mindless, only seeing short-term gains?!?!

Just please, think about what I'm saying and maybe chill out a bit... because if this kind of nonsense keeps happening, our whole internal system is heading for a total collapse. And honestly, that's exactly what the higher-ups want.

Exactly. Like, do some people seriously think away games are open just by accident or because we "won" against the voucher thing?

Zachary Sullivan2 said:I wonder how long it’ll take for this to hit the front page of USA Today after that picture popped up here?

looks like the folks over at USA Today are actually faster than us, I guess.

Man, seriously, are we just gonna start a war on this forum since nobody even uses it anymore, or is someone actually gonna finally do something about it??
