Heh...
Room for improvement..
Next time we’re dropping five grand on this...

Anyway, I'll be posting photos later today or tomorrow, so the crew can judge our look for themselves.
That’ll officially wrap up our season.
We’re going at it again next season, and let the haters keep barking—we aren't stopping!

Can someone dig up that photo of the trashed van after an away game? I’m pretty sure it was in the United Kingdom or Scotland and the whole thing was just overflowing with junk.

The wind shifted a bit more toward the port side....

Thanks for the reply. I figured there was some deeper reason behind it.

Great navy.
Just one question: why isn't the mast on both "ships" all the way up to the shark?

Solid turnout from the navy during an off-peak hour👍
Just the usual Navy standard. Good enough.👍

edit: easy there, Scott

Wow, okay... watch out for the drunks on the street. They're twice as dangerous as any fanatic..
you won't just be dealing with broken teeth then😉

Wishing a speedy recovery to everyone who got hurt.

But you still haven't answered my question about the Ultras.

The "Eating forward" song? I remember hearing that on TV back in the day, and the rhythm was totally off compared to ours. Our chants aren't some cheap imitation; we just shout two words for our club. Go Istra go!!
Send me a DM about those songs of yours and I'll try to figure them out myself.

@wiredfalcon2/">@@wiredfalcon2 we're talking about the Demon songs being supposedly ripped from Armadin, so it fits the topic perfectly.

Look, I still don't get which songs you're actually talking about. Just don't give me some vague title because I won't recognize it anyway. Either drop a video link or tell me exactly when one of those "plagiarized" tracks you're obsessed with plays on our channel.

A few messages, some flares, more people showing up. You were expecting a massive turnout, weren't you?
Thanks a lot. So, I guess you actually think highly of us when we "underperform."

. No confrontation happened, but I got a clear look and sound at them. There were about 250 demons, surprisingly packed with kids, which isn't much considering their trip was fully sponsored (travel and tickets $10 included). They were loud for the first few minutes (I actually thought they might drown out the Armada), stayed decent for a bit, then trailed off in the second half. The flares weren't bad, though—they had those ones that flash bright but die out after a few seconds. 90 percent of their songs are just covers of Armada chants; I didn't even realize that until yesterday.
The downside is that every single one of them arrived under police escort in four buses. I expected more from them. This is how the internet creates fake images; honestly, the guys from Memphis had a better showing in San Francisco than the demons did.

Armada was solid, choreography was great, two flare displays—the first was a warmup, the second was really good. Cheering was fine in the first half, mediocre in the second. In the center stands, both sides were barely audible by the second half.

What a tough guy you are, sitting in the center stands ready to attack some Benjamin Cruz if he celebrates a goal. You're a real genius. And I'm sure you're a "true supporter" with 120 away games under your belt, since instead of being in the thick of it, you're watching another group from the middle seats.
Everything was paid for—the trip, the ticket, insurance, everything. Now we're fighting for heated floors in the stadiums.
Every song is a rip-off. Every other weekend when Cleveland plays at home, one of us is there with a recorder capturing everything.
And yeah, we all rode in buses because we're cowards.
Watch out now, because the internet is creating such a "false image" and we're all just "internet fans," so don't let that keyboard hit you on the way out. Who knows, maybe one of the demons is a hacker or something.🙄

What an objective guy. Tell you what, next time there's a game in San Diego, why don't you come to the center stands too? You can measure the decibels, divide the average age by the number of seats, check the blood pressure of the old timers, count exactly how many flares versus strobes they used, and tell me what font was used for the banners.
PS. I'll pay for your ticket and meet you at the gate.

From a distance, the choreography looked way better.
You can't see all the details in this photo.

The navy was solid. I didn't catch the chanting since I couldn't hear them, but the choreography was top-tier. Serious props there.
The pyrotechnics were decent, and those flags were waving nonstop.
I won't guess at the navy's numbers because I'm terrible at estimating—we had about 250 of us, four buses packed tight.
I can't be objective about our own performance.
All I can say is I'm happy with how it went.

Let’s be real for a second... we’re finally looking at a legitimate local derby after years of nothing. You guys are talking about showing up in massive numbers, which is what I’m counting on. This whole regional rivalry feels like the first breath of fresh air we've had in a long time compared to those stale matchups we usually get.
You guys are on a roll right now, and honestly, there's no point even talking about how bad our situation is. Tomorrow, both sides are going to descend on Santa Monica to scream their lungs out. Let's see who actually walks away with the win... on the field and in the stands.

👍

That sounds like something from a different, slightly larger crowd. We don't deal in hunting stories around here, and both the navy and us actually own up to our losses.

That’s how a national team should work. It ought to be sacred, sitting way above any club interests. If you can't show that kind of loyalty, you shouldn't even lace up.
But when some amateur tries to lecture us, they need to be put in their place.
Regarding the national team, the navy is actually solid, but let's be real—there are idiots on both sides. We've had major clashes between your crowd and ours at least three times in the last two years alone.

@ER
You guys folded at Walmart and that was that. If you don't believe me, go ask the people who were actually there.

Lawrence Walker27 said:How can you even mention the national team playing in Cleveland when you guys always bolt out fifteen minutes early? We actually left fifteen minutes before the whistle ourselves and headed east, right as your van came flying past us in a total panic. Nobody even sent Aziz; he was stuck on the east side because he probably wasn't allowed on the west side back then.

And why the hell were you leaving fifteen minutes early?
If you wanted to come at us, you had your chance before the game, right after your reckless idiot M. faceplanted into the concrete because he couldn't stop acting like a complete moron.
But you weren't really feeling it, were you?
Probably because ten days earlier you were getting your asses handed to you during that friendly match in Medulin and that run-in over by Walmart.

How big was the Navy turnout in Washington, D.C.?

You can play around if you want, but five points is a massive gap...

I have to say, the Demons aren't even close to their peak right now. For real, we’ve only had one home game so far. You have no idea how much that kills the turnout on the road—we aren't bringing in any new blood or younger fans. And don't even get me started on these pathetic results. Once we finally open our own stadium and move back to our spot in the North Stand, then we'll actually see how much room there is to grow.
