You totally missed my point. He said they were being called Yugoslavs, but what he actually meant was those "locals"—the same kind of people you still see hanging around today in places like Rijeka or any other US city...
But honestly, your reaction fits your username perfectly. If you want to call us "patriots" like that, fine. We’ve proven who we are a thousand times over; maybe you just have some issues dealing with it...🤷
And don't try to feed me that tired old crap about Mamić and the big-city crowd. What does he even have to do with us?! 😂

Raymond Gonzalez said:Why talk about it? Because this video actually lays out facts and hard evidence. I don't want this to sound like making excuses, but let's be real—among most fans here in America, especially the younger crowd, there are these deep-seated prejudices and "stereotypes" about the Ultras. That’s why people keep asking these questions. The biggest reason for all this baggage is our own screw-up during that 1987 cup final in Belgrade. While the first wave of the Ultras didn't enter the stadium, a segment of the local crowd basically let the Red Star fans cheer against Hajduk. We've been haunted by that "curse" ever since, even though we've spent years trying to prove otherwise—during games, through the war, and everything since.

Anyway, my take? It was just harder to show any sense of American patriotism in a place like this back in the late 80s compared to somewhere like Split or LA. It wasn't just that the locals would label us as outsiders or old-school Yugoslavians; we had issues, unfortunately, even with people from our own side.

And I'll go back to that scene at Yankee Stadium in 1990. Let me say it again: the Ultras were the first ones to charge in from the East. Whether that triggered the riot or not isn't really the point. Everyone knows the Delis showed up in massive numbers, organized by Arkan, who rolled up to the stadium in a suit as part of the official delegation. Just like how those Delis were paid to stir up trouble during a match in Genoa, things were similarly rigged back then in the States.

you think, (also) to the Yugoslavs 🙂

Terry Lee3 said:The Demons have been trading blows with this "cadet corps" for a while now...🤣
They keep picking fights on Demon turf, overestimating themselves—and damn it, they’re paying for it. But they just keep pushing, acting like Naperville is some big deal. ☕
Total nonsense, if you ask me. Just kids playing games. 🙏

I just hope the Demons don't pick a fight with anyone else besides these "cadets," otherwise the whole group might actually fold...😍
But then I look at myself. What an idiot. How is a crew that jumps from club to club like they're running from the cops, loses every blowout game, and travels for pennies actually going to "fold"? 😂
Fine, maybe I went too far. At the end of the day, they're just a bunch of slippery losers who exist for nothing. My bad. ☕

😂 🙏

ironscout10 said:it’s not even about you guys it’s just that half the board at Seattle Sounders FC is made up of die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fans, so I had to bring it up. They’re all sipping cocktails in Paris while our club goes down the drain, practically handing over our best talent to the Chiefs for pennies instead of selling them abroad like a real organization should...☕

How is it "not related" when that's exactly how things are? 🤷
I was assuming they meant the board was "brave"—and I use that term loosely—since everyone knows what that kind of "bravery" actually looks like around here...

What was that line from the song again? Something like "Life is just Schubert, a big gamble..."?

Those letters don't have anything to do with the tone, except maybe those two or three lines...

Respect. This right here is what sets this whole crew apart from those other fan groups out there (not talking about the BBB or Torcida types)...

I forgot to mention one thing... I was trying to say they're actually above everyone else because of that exact detail you pointed out...👍

Anthony Fox5 said:Nice flare setup...And honestly, that double-pole flag with the "mom, stop worrying" vibe is exactly why the Navy is leagues ahead of everyone else—well, if you don't count the Rangers or the Bad Boys.

Look, man, that's exactly why they aren't on top! 🤷 🤣
I’m not saying they haven't been one of the top three groups in the history of American fandom, but what you're talking about is total nonsense. That flag doesn't actually mean anything special...

Robert Adams6 said:And how was that not a surprise when the drive from Sacramento to Seattle is basically the same as going from San Diego to San Francisco?
That’s their closest away game, besides Pula, obviously.

Seattle fans, here’s a shot from the turf for your website. Cheers until Saturday and the big derby.

Not bad, you guys are stepping up👍

Alex Campbell54 said:Look, like I said in a thread someone deleted earlier 🙂 who even are you?

Hajduk didn't throw the title away in that specific game. They blew it the week before losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. And while we were playing that afternoon, Los Angeles FC had already cruised past a local side by 3:00 PM. By the time our kickoff rolled around, the race was over. The whole "message" they tried to send was pointless.
Now, talking to those guys from San Francisco, they’re making excuses about how huge our turnout was and how we were still holding onto hope... Man, give me a break. Back then, maybe we hoped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would actually put up a fight like they did the week before (just like we hoped San Francisco might show some life at our place two weeks prior, but they just sat there taking four hits without even drawing a foul 😕).

One last question for the fanbase:

Why didn't you just write "Champions!" at the end of your little rant?
It's pretty obvious whose pockets you're trying to line—the same people who screwed you over back in '99. You proved it with that pathetic celebration after Sharbiniev's second goal and then acting like that meaningless game mattered.

Typical fan behavior...
Everyone is always someone else's fault when the trophy slips away, and apparently, you don't even know the actual scores...
Hajduk didn't lose the title during that match (it was against Varaždin), but the message definitely landed.
Hajduk played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the week after, and Los Angeles FC played San Francisco the week before. Everyone knows San Francisco hasn't been able to beat a bottom-feeder on the road for seasons, yet they somehow found the strength to take down Los Angeles FC... 🙈
And one more thing for you: why didn't you wrap up your "brilliant" essay with "I HATE LOS ANGELES FC, I HATE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, AND I HATE SAN FRANCISCO!"? Just asking for a friend... 😉

I don't know much about the fan scene, but man, those shots look great!

James Smith48 said:?!????
What just happened? Some random European guest appearance? A meeting at some random rest stop?? For over 20 years now, there’s always been someone claiming to be better than those boys. Out of nowhere. Every single day it's someone else, just a constant loop, and once you hit the end, you're right back at square one. There's zero point even bringing this up.

What did I say wrong? 🤷

Anonymous said:Honestly, it’s depressing watching Cleveland play this badly. Look, I'm not saying they were ever elite, but we don't even have that one team we actually respect in the league anymore. Now our biggest threats are Budweiser and Savannah... seriously? When was the last time that was even remotely true? I’m praying for a turnaround for Cleveland, and honestly, I hope the Los Angeles Dodgers get stronger too. It’s better for Major League Soccer as a whole. If the league stays this mediocre, we're all just heading straight for a train wreck.To hell with everyone who gave that idiot Tim Cook a shot at running the league!

First off, why would anyone want a league that’s just one long, boring slog between two brother clubs? It’s predictable. It kills the vibe.
And another thing—what’s Tim Cook actually supposed to be blamed for? The Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland are already a mess. Look, I’m not trying to defend him or anything, but he didn't break them. Besides, the Torcida fans still have way more heart than those Boys guys.

Harold Jackson7 said:

Fine, let me give you guys some praise too... honestly, the sheer number of you lately is starting to surprise me...👍

Lawrence Walker27 said:Maybe 60 or 70.

Started with 20 people, then about ten more cars rolled up after 35 minutes because they got stuck over at the big airport outside Philly.

60 to 70?
Looking at how the stands look lately, it’s starting to remind me of those guys from Seattle.😂

Terry Lee3 said:With every single post you make, you just prove how much of a psycho you actually are. Seriously, there's no end to it...🤷
You’re constantly lying and baiting people. The Navy has never downplayed anyone else's effort, and we aren't living off past glories either—not even close. We've already laid out the facts for you five hundred times over... And honestly, I don't even know why the hell you show up when you have zero connection to the fans. You want to lecture us about who didn't bring flares or bring up some old embarrassments??... Man, you are just completely out of line. Truly...☕
If you really think you're qualified to talk trash here, then just admit who you're working for. Every time it's time to smear the Navy, you're right there jumping in, especially whenever the Cohort is mentioned... Just admit you're with the League. Why are you so ashamed of your own group? 🤷

maybe they don't downplay others' work, but they definitely aren't living on past glory...😂

Just saw the news about that shark attack. Honestly? Not surprised. People keep heading out into the surf like they own the ocean, acting like they're invincible. I remember back in Florida, some guy I knew thought he was a regular surfer god—until he got too close to a reef and realized nature doesn't care about your ego. It’s a wake-up call. The ocean is wild, unpredictable, and frankly, it doesn't give a damn about you. Stay smart or stay on the sand. says:
Look, I’m done. I promise. But seriously, if we could just get this group back to how it used to be... 😁 I get what he was trying to say, but man, how it actually came out? Pure legend status. Absolute classic. At least for me, anyway. I had to post, obviously, and once I started typing, I just couldn't stop. Couldn't help myself. Whatever, it’s fine. No lasting trauma or anything.😁

What am I even supposed to say to you if you won't talk? It might sound ridiculous, but it's the truth.
I don’t get it. I’m talking about how things are right now, but you guys keep dragging us back to the good old days every single time. Look, I never said the Navy wasn't tougher than those other groups back then—of course they were. But I'm talking about the PRESENT!
Maybe it’s better if the Navy just stops showing up to certain games altogether. Just skip them. Honestly, if we didn't show, those guys constantly living in the past would probably still find a way to claim we were always the strongest group right after Torcida and the BBB. They’d find some way to say we were still better than Kohort or the Demons, no matter what. Typical.🤷

Patrick Clark21 said:I’m reading this and I honestly can't believe it... I can't wrap my head around some people comparing demons and Cohort to the fleet 🤷 look, I get that there are certain kids—and hey, I'm not exactly ancient, but I remember how things used to be—who started following a few years ago without any respect for history, just totally caught up in the sneaker culture and those fancy organized stands... Generally speaking, the fleet is at about half its potential and sits as the third group in America, though they’re the only ones who could actually challenge the big players, and I'm certain they'll do it again (I mean... they've got a couple of shipyards and a major cargo port... plenty of blue-collar workers 😁 ). But hey, that's just my take on it. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess ☕

Why do we even need to keep looking back? I wish the funcuts were like they were back when we first made it to the big leagues or back in the 90s too, but they aren't... what am I supposed to do, cry about it? We should be focusing on how to level up the group right now so it looks like it used to...
I'm sick of it too, this whole thing where everyone suddenly needs trendy sneakers and, like you said, those polished stands. But let's talk about the state of these groups: it shows the fleet is slipping into second place because Cohort and demons are moving up
