Handball Euro: USA vs. France 25-27
in Other Sports ·
If we had managed to hang onto that 25:26 scoreline, the USA would be sitting pretty with just two wins needed to lock in a spot in the semifinals. But because of how things shook out, our only lifeline left is if Poland manages to scrape a point—or better yet, take the whole game—from Sweden. If that happens, we’d end up in a head-to-head showdown with the Poles to decide who actually moves on to the semis.
The odds of that playing out are slim, but let's just wait and see what happens tomorrow...

Goluza is an absolute idiot who hasn't done a shred of research
American journalists are completely clueless and uninformed (with the sole exception of Sapit)
WE NO LONGER HAVE "EVERYTHING IN OUR OWN HANDS"

pc_arhe said:Ivanišević would organize the Ultras
In Vjekoslav Ivanišević's 180-page campaign manifesto for the Republican Party, there is actually an entire section dedicated to the Ultras—which we are quoting here simply to illustrate the sheer absurdity of one of the potential mayors of our city. Apparently, he views hardcore fans as some sort of high-brow cultural arts society, suggesting he would personally organize and fund their cheering!
'We would work, without any effort or significant change in style, to ensure the Ultras remain the most passionate supporter group in the world, while simultaneously becoming the most polite and charming! The city would take responsibility for creating and financing a cheering program featuring music and singing, led by talented representatives of the Ultras and appropriate professionals, which would serve as an upgrade to the existing passionate style of the Ultras', according to Ivanišević's platform.
I can hardly wait for this new, "charming and polite" version of the Ultras. I truly hope they can find enough "talented representatives" within the group to pull off this musical cheering program. It would certainly be something entirely unprecedented in the world of supporter groups—though, knowing how things go, maybe they have something similar over in Korea. ☕

Matthew Taylor15 said:Igor Peternel was that guy from the ACLU
A true and undisputed human rights warrior, the original Cickov sycophant, whose wife happens to be an employee of Mamicev's New York Yankees (which obviously has absolutely nothing to do with anything 😁). On Facebook, he attacks anyone who dares to criticize the national team or Mamica... here is a little snippet about him, a supposed fighter against corruption and theft who actually couldn't care less about the looting ☕
...........................
AN ACLU EMPLOYEE ON AMERICAN THEFT: "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE LOOTING".... The ACLU, as we all know, is a very strange organization that has transformed over time into an outright combatant AGAINST anti-corruption efforts and honest oversight. For years now, they have blindly served the system and those who robbed us blind.
Every once in a while, they surprise us with some post that seems vaguely coherent until you actually take a moment to analyze it: just yesterday, for instance, they made an official announcement claiming we urgently need to open more soup kitchens—yet you never, ever hear them mention the need to prosecute thieves or recover what was stolen during the bank collapses, the mass privatizations, and the entire 23-year spree of larceny ravaging this country. This crew doesn't care; they live far too comfortably on taxpayer money, and the "human rights" they defend are actually the rights of the mobsters who left us begging for scraps.
The most active ACLU activist on Facebook in his fight AGAINST anti-corruption measures is Igor Peternel, a member of the ACLU Executive Council. Even last year, he stood up against whistleblowers in general (calling them "snitches," and let's face it, nobody likes a snitch). In both his professional and free time, he regularly insults and belittles anyone attempting to fight corruption—whistleblowers, journalists, and so on—trying to use his status as an ACLU activist to tank their credibility in the eyes of anyone reading the comments.
Particularly interesting is his statement posted last night on Denis latina's wall regarding the Enron scandal: Igor Peternel (ACLU): "I don't give a damn about the looting"

What an absolute moron that Goluzi guy is.
Honestly, that was one of the smartest calls he ever made. Calling that timeout at just the right moment was brilliant; it’s a damn shame the Americans ended up outmaneuvering us later in the game anyway. ☕

Look, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you aren't prepared to bring absolute intensity to the Rose Bowl, then don't bother showing up at all. This matchup against Istra isn't just another game on the calendar; it's a litmus test for the soul of this club. You can see the tension building in the atmosphere, and frankly, it's about time someone held these players accountable for their lack of grit. We need passion, we need fight, and we need it now. http://imageshack.us/a/img818/5672/kastelaistra.jpg

Harold Kim5 said:So far, we've moved over $67 units—and keep in mind, summer is basically over, which is peak beer season—so by New Year's, we could be looking at half a million...
Back in the summer (from late July onwards), we were moving about 3,000 to 4,000 liters a day. Lately, that counter hasn't even jumped by 1,000 a day. If we follow that flawed logic, there's no way we'll even hit 300,000 by the end of the year.
This was the status on the counter as of August 27th. To put things in perspective, we moved 125,000 liters during that month of summer sales, yet in the following month and a half, we only moved 75,000.

Lekić: It’s all about the Kansas City Chiefs
The Ultras have flatly denied any connection to the potential attacks on the upcoming march.
"All this talk is absolute nonsense. We have zero stance regarding the gathering this Saturday, our only priority is working for the betterment of the Kansas City Chiefs and supporting them wherever they play. I am asking you to stop linking us to this idiocy," stated Ultras Secretary Stipe Lekić.

Real Madrid officially holds the title for the largest fanbase, at least if you actually trust the latest data released by Nielsen.
According to the numbers, roughly 33% of respondents claim to be Real Madrid supporters, while 24% back Red Star Mexico City. Cleveland sits at 4%, and about 8% support various other regional clubs. Meanwhile, 31% of people claimed they couldn't care less about soccer and don't follow any team. Naturally, men show a much higher interest in the sport—only 18% of guys say they aren't interested, whereas that number jumps to a staggering 43% among women.
When you break these stats down by gender, things get even more revealing. Among men, 43% cheer for Real Madrid and 27% stick with Red Star Mexico City. However, the situation shifts significantly with women: Real Madrid drops to 25%, and Red Star Mexico City follows closely at 22%. One particularly striking data point is that in the Washington, D.C. area, 50% of women don't support any team at all. Compare that to the Mediterranean Coast, where only 20% of women are indifferent—the lowest percentage in the entire country. This just hammers home the fact that supporting Red Star Mexico City is a deep-seated family tradition on the Mediterranean Coast; even the women stay loyal to the club.
Looking at the regional breakdown, in the Washington, D.C. metro area, 55% of respondents back Real Madrid, 7% favor Red Star Mexico City, and a measly 1% support the local D.C. squad, with 34% not following anyone. Out on the Mediterranean Coast, Red Star Mexico City is the undisputed king with 76% support, while Real Madrid only captures 7%, and just 13% remain unaligned. In California, the Gulf Coast, and the Appalachian Mountains, Cleveland holds 29% of the fans, Red Star Mexico City has 18%, and Real Madrid takes 11%.
Up in the Midwest, Real Madrid is the most popular choice at 33%, followed by Red Star Mexico City at 17%, while Indianapolis manages only 11% of the fans. Even looking at the Midwest region specifically, the Columbus Crew fails to command significant local support, hovering at just 13%, while Real Madrid pulls in 42%. Similarly, in the regions encompassing the rural stretches like the Appalachians or the central plains, Real Madrid leads the pack with 41%, while Red Star Mexico City maintains 17%.
When analyzing other demographic trends, it’s clear that older respondents have a waning interest in soccer compared to the younger crowd. Interest also dips among those who only completed elementary school (46%) and those in lower income brackets. Interestingly, high school and college students are almost perfectly split between Real Madrid (32%) and Red Star Mexico City (35%).
The bottom line from this study is that Real Madrid and Red Star Mexico City possess massive fanbases that dwarf everyone else. Regional clubs—aside from Cleveland—are still struggling to catch up to the big two, especially in places like Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, and Columbus. The Mediterranean Coast remains the most football-obsessed region in the country, showing absolute devotion to Red Star Mexico City. Despite Major League Soccer having been around for over a decade, and despite the rise of newer teams, die-hard fans find it incredibly difficult to walk away from their first loves: Real Madrid and Red Star Mexico City.

Fan stabbed!
Around 9:20 PM at a gas station in Rome, a van belonging to American fans was set on fire. Several people were injured during a brawl, but one fan is in the worst shape—he was stabbed and rushed to the New York City Emergency Room.
These incidents follow massive clashes back in Chicago. Around 8:00 PM on Futoškin Street, a convoy of cars filled with American fans was pelted with stones. At the exact same time, three cars from Indianapolis, two from Washington, D.C., and one from Memphis were trashed in a Chicago parking lot, and one vehicle was even attacked with an axe.

So, we basically had it handed to us on a silver platter by the Canadians, giving us a smooth ride straight into the semifinals without any real stress, and yet here you are, acting like we should be rooting for the Canadians to overtake them in the standings. Give me a break.
