Lawrence Walker27 said:Exactly. There were maybe 5 or 6 cars involved, and those guys jumped us when there were only two cars on the scene. Then, as soon as three or four more showed up, they pulled that tactical retreat move and just bolted.😂
And those seven cars plus the van? They headed straight for downtown and stayed out of the fight entirely—nobody even targeted them.
Go watch the video and then tell me if that actually looked like some "tactical retreat" to you.
Look at the photos... we practically had you cornered in the gray zone, so don't give me that crap about us retreating.
With the gear you guys were packing, you should've wiped us out instead of ending up face-down on the pavement.
Jacob Newman74 said:Solid turnout, cool groups hanging out around town, but we totally missed the whole point—cheering on our club. We didn't step up like 👎
The crew put in some work today.
There was one massive group gathering outside the stadium, and honestly, that’s about it
Unless you count "hanging out" as some guy getting jumped near the local deli 👎
But seriously, props to everyone for that chaotic, unorganized trek into the city.
I'm just hoping the next big rivalry game is at Madison Square Garden; everything would look way more intense then, especially once we get back to our usual spot in the North Stand.
Peter Barrett said:Are we talking about a massive crackdown with arrests, or just some aggressive police presence? Because you guys are mentioning a bunch of different messes here...
The total chaos when people were trying to get downtown
That scuffle over by Navy Pier
Then there was the mess at Montezuma Park, plus the craziness right outside the stadium before the game even started?
And then you’ve got those random fights breaking out—is this some kind of joke or are we looking at actual riots? 🤣
Not to mention the madness happening when everyone was leaving, too.
Who was actually there to know what really went down? Half the crap written in this article is pure nonsense.
Great shots. Hit up BAO in the DMs; he knows exactly what went down during the shoot.
Honestly, those messages had me cracking up. 👍
coppersailor8 said:LOL... what absolute liars... nobody even bothered to mention what actually went down at the Monte Zaru rally today.... HAHAHAHA....
Six squad cars were there pulling people out... they absolutely crushed about 30 demons who ended up needing an ambulance on the floor....
Ban these idiots immediately,
Raymond King47 said:Honestly, I’m sick to death of these brainless arguments about The Armada and all you idiots constantly trying to defend them. I don't give a damn about either side, but I seriously can't believe how zero objectivity there is in this thread. And specifically regarding Aurora? You guys are talking the most shit out of everyone. That’s it. I'm done. The bottom line is we showed up in numbers just as big as yours, and you didn't back down. You basically left one van at our mercy while the rest of the crew and the car headed off toward the suburbs. It was a stroke of luck they actually had a driver who was too terrified to actually run someone over. So, if you were even remotely present there—Kenneth Campbell64 and Benjamin Hall3—then shut the hell up and stop posting this garbage about what happened.☕☕
Read what we’re actually saying here. We’re out here giving props to the whole operation and the crew, and yeah, we're even giving a shout-out to the driver who headed your way—and the other guy who absolutely trashed the front end of that Octavia. The squad you guys brought was fucking incredible, and if anyone has a problem with me saying that, then they can go ahead and deal with it. I don't care.
Look, I’m positive we weren't ignoring you guys on purpose. It was just that whole mess during the period when the cops were cracking down on the group because of those clashes over in San Francisco. A few people ended up in holding, and honestly, the police were basically threatening to shut the whole group down if we didn't quit messing around. So, come on, don't give me that crap—we all know exactly who started that shit over by the Kroger. Anyway, see you guys Saturday. Hey, Jesse Campbell, hit me up for coffee at Starbucks and bring the usual crew. We could even meet up out in some field to deal with those idiots ourselves.
The absolute nonsense is starting up again on the forums.
The fact that you guys got your asses handed to you over by Kroger, or that at Mote Zar you acted like total cowards attacking the US-Norway crew only to get knocked out way past the damn limit—can anyone actually deny that? You can try to sell me that pathetic excuse about how there was some "younger crowd" at Mote Zar, but save it for someone who gives a damn. We have the full list: names, surnames, addresses, birth dates... we know exactly everyone who was there, including those who ended up in the hospital and the ones from YOUR group who were crying like little babies in the hallway just to avoid getting hit. Your group, which starts throwing everything in sight once panic sets in! (And yeah, I know exactly who I’m talking about)
You’re acting like some kind of big shot, but what are you even playing at? Nobody was even calling you out because we were busy away on an away game in MLS! Show up now with the exact same crew and we’ll "honestly" find each other for a coffee, just so we can laugh at these stories about your "tough older" Armada that’s nothing but smoke and mirrors and never actually shows up!!! Go read for yourself how many away games you missed; Benjamin Hall already listed them all!
How can you even mention Naperville with any shred of dignity after that embarrassment? You showed up looking like a bunch of toddlers, arriving incredibly late!!!! We were literally laughing at you because of what kind of squad you brought; it was a joke, plain and simple. Risking a stadium ban for a crew like yours would be pure insanity, because then it would just be more excuses about how they were "too young"... honestly, seeing your panicked reaction just from us showing up was enough for us.
Aurora, hats off to the action and the crew running Cobra 11, you guys put up a hell of a fight, but after all the talk, you’re still the ones who took the bigger hit than we did. 😍
Just show up in Key West and try not to act like you did against Zilin😍
Terry Lee3 said:The whole grandstand holds 3,000, plus maybe another 800 in the corner (sectors D3-D4).
Yeah, just keep it up. At this rate, the Armada is gonna be unstoppable this season.👍
500 - 700 people? Seriously? What the hell is the actual capacity of the bleachers?
Too damn good, seriously, props to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
mellowhawk34 said:We were just kids back then, mostly listening to the older guys. A few people actually pushed for keeping things civil, but in the end, the aggressive crowd always took over.😁
Kenneth Campbell64, if I remember correctly, you even managed to score a goal, didn't you?😉
Facts. I definitely showed everyone what I could do on the pitch.🤣
Call a guy. Seriously. said:Where did it all go wrong? Seriously, what happened?🤷😁
The Millwall hooligans have finally lost their damn minds. 🤣 Look, the old-timers in the fan club already know exactly what I’m talking about. This whole "friendship" thing was basically forced on us because of some personal connections certain guys had. It wasn't organic. It all started right after that friendly match between General Dynamics and Cleveland. That was the first real clash between the fan club and the demons.
So, we had another one of those get-togethers with the fan club right before the local sports club kicked off their season. We were all out strutting through the streets of Cleveland, decked out in our California gear—jerseys, scarves, the whole nine yards—just marching along with the fan club trailing behind us. Then we hit up that neighborhood for some drinks, just tearing it up together, before heading over to the neighborhood where the Bear was already waiting for us with the rest of the crew. 🤣☕
I bet Mike Tyson and the bank still have those nights burned into their memories. ☕

back when we actually played soccer
Down in Laguna, there was this friendly match between the Demons and the Navy, ended 3-1 our way if I recall correctly👍
Was any of you guys at the stadium for that one? Man, look how young I look in this photo☕
jadestag20 said:😕
I gotta say, you guys are doing a real good job playing the "neutral observer" card to blind everyone. 👍
Brady couldn't have even theoretically dropped it, because anyone with half a brain knows you only bring the heavy hitters on away games... so you tell me... ☕
What, should we just shut this whole group down since Pike went down? What's your take?
🤣🤣🤣
Why don't you just pad those numbers a bit more? It's not like it matters. 😁 😁 And you aren't even gonna mention how you guys heroically jumped him? 😁 😁
Honestly, I can't even bring myself to talk to fans who basically abandoned their own club when they got kicked out of the third division just so they could run wild in the MLS. And don't even get me started on how they swap out main banners like they're changing socks. Does anyone actually have a copy of the main banner in case this guy drops it again?
jadestag20Pike was taken without any fight 31 miles by the San Diego crew, and Brady fell too—it wasn't stolen. If you want to know about that, go ask the people who actually lost it; you won't find the truth on the internet.
jadestag20, you guys are never gonna grab a single one of our banners, especially not the main ones, so quit stressing over stupid stuff.
Don't jump down my throat immediately. I'm talking about the era right after Isre dropped out of the top tier back in MLS 2000, when this generation really took charge in the Demon. From the very first clash
—you know, that massive showdown—all the way through the Walmart and Monte-Zara incidents , there isn't a single moment where you can claim you beat us in a fight. jadestag20, one more time... and don't get worked up for no reason...
Terry Scott65 said:Can someone actually make sense of this "schizophrenia" message?? Seriously, what are we even looking at here?🤷
Look, I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen, just boiling over, trying to figure out how we even got to this point. This whole epidemic situation? It’s absolute madness. Seriously, what are we actually doing? Are we all just collectively losing our minds, or is there some kind of twisted joke being played on us that I’m too dim to get? It feels like every single day there’s some new rule, some new panic, some new way for people to look at you sideways if you don't act exactly how they want you to. It’s exhausting. You can't catch a break without someone breathing down your neck about "safety" or whatever buzzword they're using this week to control the narrative. And don't even get me started on the sheer level of hysteria. You walk down the street and it's like everyone is living in a paranoid thriller movie. Does anyone actually feel safe? Because from where I’m sitting, everything feels more chaotic than ever. We're supposed to be fixing things, right? Instead, we're just spinning our wheels in the mud while the world burns around us. Is anyone else feeling this? Or am I just shouting into the void here? It feels like common sense went out the window somewhere along the line, and nobody's bothered to go looking for it. Just a complete and total mess. All I can do is vent, because honestly, what else is there to do?
bluewalker92 said:Regarding Brady, someone from the Demons basically waited for us to get caught up in the euphoria at the end of that last Cleveland-Browns game (back in August, after the Sharvin thing went down), and then they snatched Brady’s banner right off the fence. It was hanging way over on the right side near the north end, right by where the police squad was stationed on the F-10 stairs. 🙄
They haven't even shown up to Santa Monica all season to support their own club, yet somehow they find the time to wander into our games just waiting for a chance to steal something...
Man, I thought you were being serious. What kind of conspiracy theories are you cooking up now? 🤣
Go ask the people who actually saw it fall—how it happened. The internet definitely isn't the place to be explaining stuff like that.
jadestag20 😍

Look, I don't have the energy to go through every single thing, but I absolutely have to address this comparison regarding those "impactful" banners. Okay, fine, you guys did a decent job, and the fact remains that in your own miserable way, you managed to produce a few banners comparable to ours over the last decade. But comparing a banner that stood behind you at every away game before it got snatched, to one of our side projects? That’s just moronic. Especially considering yours got taken during a direct clash between the top crews. And if you want proof of how "impactful" that San Francisco Armada banner actually was, just look at the fact that none of our guys even noticed you hadn't returned it amidst all the other crap you stole by breaking into our headquarters... which you only gave back after we made a threatening call, and then you waited ten years before you even dared to show it again...
All in all, sure, you might have scored a point in this specific match, but one lucky break doesn't make a season. The Armada moves forward, and we have people here who will make sure that in the future, we can still say that at no point in the history of the American scene were the Pulsu Demons ever better than the San Francisco Armada...
Dominance on the fan scene isn't earned by stealing banners, and just like that, two or three scraps of cloth aren't going to change history or the future!!
Buddy, if we're talking about impactful stuff, ours was practically stolen right off the bus while nobody was even inside. You claim it was a direct clash between the main crews? There were only 18 people at that away game—props to everyone who showed up, but that is a far cry from an elite crew. It's obvious why we carry more weight; you guys were barely present at a handful of games.
Those two stolen banners are the legacy of the previous generation; Picante and Brady fell.
Now you can also demand they be returned 😍 ,
The wait lasted ten years because that's exactly how long it took for the next official California vs. San Francisco game to happen.
Nobody's even bothering to argue about who came out on top, and honestly? Good for them. Both sides put on a hell of a show, and you can only hope the next big rivalry matchups are even more intense than this one.👍
Benjamin Hall3 said:Look, I gotta set the record straight here. We played them on Saturday, and then just five days later, there was that game at the pier where absolutely nobody from the Seattle crew showed up.
The correction stands. That was the game where we were sending out messages to honor the legend Milton Flagg.👍
Just setting the record straight for our local fans who seem a bit lost or confused... 👍
The derby takeaway? Absolutely crushed it. I was honestly expecting a bigger turnout from the armada, maybe even hoping they’d try to storm downtown without security, but man, they were loud the entire match. Message received loud and clear.
The Demons showed up in force—solid numbers, that flag choreography was killer, and those armada banners sent a massive statement. It’s just a damn shame we got hit with so much pyrotechnics from the other side.
Mad respect to us and the armada. Seriously, I’ll say it again: for a weekday game, that was one hell of a derby. 👍
