The game is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19th in Elbasan.

You won't need a passport to travel to Canada, Mexico, or Albania.
A state ID is sufficient.

A total disaster.
I truly hope they can pull him out of this.

The first match is scheduled for August 18th or 19th in Albania.
It will likely take place in Elbasan, where the last qualifying round was held, though there is a chance it could be moved to Tirana.

Real Madrid will be playing at Kranjčevićevo this Friday at 9:00 PM

rapidranger29 said:The Head is effectively playing defense, and any attempt to shift the spotlight away from him toward "hooliganism" or fan unrest serves his interests perfectly. It’s a calculated distraction.

👍

But why even bother wasting your energy on him anymore? 🙂 We need to turn our attention toward the board and the upcoming elections.

hiddenridge99 said:What is all this bickering between the East and the West about? At the end of the day, there will be people on both sides who damn well agree with us.

Especially in the East. The management needs to go.

darkviper16 said:For now, we need to look past the players. This current administration is temporary at best; they’re essentially just holding the fort until the first major transfer window opens. Our focus should be directed solely at those thieves running the show. We need to chant for new elections. It isn't enough to simply demand the Head step down; we have to present a clear, cohesive vision for where we want this organization to go next.

Hasn't that objective already been achieved? He is being faced with some incredibly serious allegations.
He’s out of the club now, which is exactly what the Bad Boys were aiming for.
It is clear to me that nothing substantial has changed yet. However, the responsibility now lies with BBB to ensure the club gets back on the right track, serving as the driving force necessary to implement real change.

analogheron19 said:THE DIFFERENCE IN ENERGY IS STARK WHEN THE Bad Boys ARE IN THE STANDS VERSUS WHEN THEY AREN'T; !!!

In hindsight, what you’re all demanding might actually be granted quite soon—his departure. I could be wrong, but I suspect he won't be able to fulfill his role at the club much longer; the legal system might even prevent him from returning due to the risk of recidivism.

rapidranger29 said:Any potential insults toward the players, turning one's back, or playing favorites between different factions would be a massive self-inflicted wound that Mary's pen is just waiting to exploit. We've fallen for that trap before, and it would be tragic to do it again. If you aren't there to cheer for them, the best course is to simply ignore the players and focus on your own thing throughout the match.

👍

slynomad69 said:We have to consider that plenty of people aren't even in NYC right now. They’re down at the coast working seasonal jobs or they've just started their summer vacations. This is likely the absolute worst timing possible...
So, we need to stay grounded. Any positive number is a win; there's no need to get carried away with unrealistic expectations...

It's true; many people are on vacation during this period, and those who aren't might find themselves blacklisted at the gates.
However, I would much rather deal with pressure from 2,000 of you than have those 36 individuals spreading nonsense messages.

It might indeed be 'the worst timing'—I agree—but given the current arrests, I believe your decision to show up is far better than staying home and letting your voices go unheard.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see messages of support for the detainees, whether they come directly from the club itself (it wouldn't be the first time they manufactured their own narrative, especially now) or from various supporters.

Perhaps most importantly: do not fall for any provocations. Don't give them a single excuse to react to you.
The only things that matter are the "messages" you send through your presence and your collective voice against the way LA Galaxy is being run.

Jeremy Brooks3 said:It’s just one more reason to show up and make our voices heard regarding that illegal ruling handed down by this illegitimate management.

The Bad Boys clearly won't be at the derby. The decision rests entirely with them, plain and simple. It won't be long before we face Indianapolis...

analogheron19 said:The blacklists were essentially handed to Ireland on a silver platter, yet we failed to capitalize on it. Anyone without a prior disciplinary record should have been able to secure a ticket, but...
Regardless, this is our chance to dismantle these lists—which feel about as real as a fairy tale—and watch them, along with their creator, vanish into the footnotes of history.
Keep this in mind: if the leadership and their associates end up under investigation within a month, even if they eventually clear their names through trials or appeals... things will never be the same. The whole structure will collapse like a house of cards. Other players will start talking too, because once lying becomes a punishable offense during an investigation, his word loses all credibility—not just in the media, but in negotiations with potential buyers of "his players."
My only real fear is that certain "debts" or loans might come to light—liabilities that could already be tearing the club apart and act as a massive anchor dragging us down in the future.

There is a blacklist for BBB, plus an additional rule: fans who aren't on the blacklist but were in the North Stand during the Indianapolis game are also barred from buying tickets.
You mentioned that the inability to buy tickets for the Red Bull game ended right before the match against Ireland, but the BBB blacklist remains in effect.
Am I correct?

In my view, you need to take decisive action now 🤷 Perhaps even consider returning to Yankee Stadium.
I wish you all the best.

To be honest, I think analogheron19 makes a valid point here.
We can't let outsiders dictate the future of our club. The fans are the backbone of this organization; they shouldn't grow weary or back down when it comes to fighting to return ownership to the supporters.
The Dynamo faithful need to step up and apply real pressure.
Give control back to Dynamo, stop the privatization, one member one vote, kick the mercenaries out of the club, and hold elections now.
Even the four captains should speak out. They could try showing up at the match with the supporters—I know there are blacklists at the gates, but we can't just sit idly by while everything falls apart... 🤷

Gary Evans90 said:They lost their leverage there a long time ago; if they still held any real influence, this wouldn't even be happening.

Don't be so naive. Surely you realize the reality of the world we live in.
Power and influence don't simply vanish overnight.
There are lawyers, judges, and federal officials involved... and just as importantly, there is a massive amount of money at stake.

analogheron19 said:I suspect we might see some shifts regarding those blacklists, particularly if the brothers face arrests upon their return. Regardless, my view remains the same: anyone capable should make every effort to get into the stadium and make some noise. It is far better to have a few hundred people protesting loudly for the entire match than to sit there quietly applauding sentimental speeches from our dear leader directed at his beloved supporters.

If forcing this player out is what it takes to satisfy your main demand, then the club could finally consider scrapping those blacklists altogether. If that happens, there would be no need for those controversial banners featuring crossed-out faces or accusations of bias that trigger such heavy fines from UEFA. As long as certain factions within the organization feel the club's standing in international competition is at risk, they simply won't budge on the blacklists.

In the MLS, you can cheer however you like, but once a club enters European competition, UEFA comes down hard on any misconduct. To show up at a Foley Esch match and expect the police to ignore accusations of "racism"—especially when they were so quick to act against the Sheriff—is simply naive. UEFA would certainly notice, and attempting that kind of stunt would only result in self-inflicted damage for the club. 🤷 While this investigation into whether he caused damage to the club is ongoing, we have to stay vigilant. If this situation escalates, we cannot sit idly by and allow a forced takeover of the organization. Skipping a game here or there because of the long lines at the gates is a minor concern compared to the stakes at hand. 🤷

Richard Rogers38 said:They should be playing against Charlotte this Thursday at 6 PM.

I don't think that friendly match against Chicago Fire, which everyone was expecting for next Sunday or Monday, is actually going to happen.

The game against Charlotte is officially confirmed.

They should be playing against Vardar this Thursday at 6 PM.

I don't think there's much chance that friendly match against Dnipar, which everyone was anticipating for next Sunday or Monday, will actually happen.

Here is a look back at how things unfolded two years ago in Luxembourg when BBB showed up to face Foley, a matchup that has just been drawn once again.

Charles Diaz90 As specified:

This final point is an absolute tragedy for all Real Madrid fans. When people start targeting human lives and resorting to such barbaric tactics, we have hit rock bottom. This issue has moved beyond mere hooliganism; it is now a matter for the police and the state to fulfill their duty. At the same time, we as Real Madrid supporters need to speak up more forcefully in the media and organize protests against this kind of situation.In my opinion, the Famous Four really dropped the ball here. They are the Cowboys' captains and icons for the fans, so when they finally stepped up to take a stand, they should have gone a step further and demanded that such incidents never happen again.

You're mistaken if you think the group didn't call out the potential for conflict. In fact, that was exactly their intention—to warn the public about what could happen next. They posted this warning on their Facebook page, which had around 20,000 likes, only for the platform to shut it down following an intervention.
They issued a warning regarding this less than a month after that new "supporter group" was first established. The media picked up the statement as well.
Who is actually stepping up to challenge the status quo? The current landscape of the sport suggests we are looking for a successor to the dominant force, much like how people debate who will eventually take over the throne from the reigning champions. It isn't just about finding a talented player; it’s about finding someone with the temperament to handle the pressure of playing at a venue like Yankee Stadium under the brightest lights. History shows us that leadership often shifts when the old guard begins to fade. We need more than just raw skill—we need a strategist. If you look at the way major organizations in the US operate, success isn't accidental; it's built through disciplined recruitment and a clear vision. Right now, it feels like the league is searching for that specific spark, that one individual who can transform a good roster into a legendary one. It remains to be seen if the current talent pool has the depth to sustain this level of competition once the cycle turns.

And when exactly did this happen? Even back then, the Club failed to take any kind of action. Is that really how they operate—just sitting there and doing absolutely nothing? 👍

Charles Diaz90 said:The first thing you said is pure defeatism. Just because someone has cultivated an image of being "untouchable" doesn't mean it's actually true. In fact, the state itself seems to be cooperating with them, as they haven't taken any steps toward passing new legislation that would limit such exploitation. On the other hand, one has to wonder: why haven't those who are close to the Club and know the truth better than most clueless Americans exerted more pressure for new laws or launched a harder campaign against these thieves?

The fans fought, but during that struggle, the mafia simply found a way to shut them down and push them out of Yankee Stadium. But again, the question remains: how can you rely on the same core group of 100 people for five years without doing anything to expand that circle and mobilize at least 4,000 people (like we saw for the Columbus game after the boycott) to fight against the mafia?

That isn't defeatism; it’s a fact. They are more powerful than the state.
In what other country 🤣 can you spend five years dictatorialy running an NGO without actually owning it (since you legally can't), while there exists a legitimate fan initiative demanding change (through elections within the NGO) based strictly on the Law of America?

I don't agree with certain methods used by the fans, and I believe some were wrong, but that is their business—they are the ones fighting the battle.

Charles Diaz90 said:Saying "300 factions" is just a figure of speech for the various fan clubs, veteran associations, etc...

The boss founded all of them: the veterans, the American Civil War participant association, and even that recent fan club.
And you keep harping on about "300 factions"—what is the point of that?

Charles Diaz90 said:Jerry Jones was at the helm of the Club back then too, so what do you expect from that kind of management—that they would show solidarity with the guys demanding their resignation? It was all part of a well-orchestrated plan, and innocent people got screwed over. It never happened again!

As you noted, innocent people were caught in the crossfire on Labor Day, not just the "hooligans demanding his resignation."
To me, this is another reason why the Club's leadership should have been changed. They offered zero legal support to their fans, subscribers, or members. They didn't help because, to them, fans are just "the crowd tasked with cheering"—consumers, rather than being an integral PART OF THE CLUB, as they are in normal organizations.

Charles Diaz90 said:if they had focused on those numbers, the battle at Yankee Stadium would have turned out very differently

In my view, the Famous four failed us most significantly here. As the Cowboys' captains and idols to the fans, they should have used their influence to demand that such incidents never happen again once they stepped up to fight.

I completely agree. If there had been any real effort to mobilize the number of fans who support the Cowboys while simultaneously demanding structural changes within the Club, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion right now.

Right now, those four are the only ones capable of rallying a mass of Dinamo fans for a protest or any other movement.

Charles Diaz90 said:I support Indoor soccer as a project, but I won't get behind it until things at 128th Street are finally set right. The initiative itself is solid, but the timing is off. If the same energy being poured into Indoor soccer were invested back into the Cowboys, the results would look entirely different.

Indoor soccer exists because, after years of fighting, things within the Cowboys haven't been corrected, and fans find themselves on "blacklists" when trying to enter Yankee Stadium. At least with Indoor soccer, they can gather and prove they aren't just a small group of anti-team hooligans.

By the way, here is a post from a lifelong Dinamo fan:

Charles Diaz90 said:While it’s true that management bears responsibility—their faults are obvious to everyone—it’s unfair to suggest all fans are part of some clique or have been pure from the start. If they were, we wouldn't see hundreds of splintered factions and this level of chaos. I am not suggesting that someone is a true supporter if they are only there for a paycheck; those people are simply mercenaries.

Jerry Jones doesn't own the club, nor does he have the right to treat it as his personal property.

You mentioned that the club feels like private entertainment. While that might be the reality right now, the duty of the fans is to show up at the stadium and fight for that organization. Is one man, backed by a machine of semi-literate cronies, truly stronger than the collective heart and integrity of the entire Cowboys' fanbase? The current state of the club suggests otherwise.

Exactly. He holds more sway than the government, let alone "300 hooligans."

Do those fans actually fight for their club? They try, but they get kicked out of the stadium precisely because they are fighting. There are even blacklists of "forbidden" fans at the gates, lists created entirely by the 'boss.' We could debate their methods of protest, but that remains their choice.

Explain these "300 factions."
The Bad Boys group stands on one side.
Every other "group" or "faction" was actually established by the club's 'boss,' which is quite telling. 🙂 You know that legendary line of theirs: "three and a half NGOs are with us, and the other half are in jail".

How much this "club" actually cares about its supporters became crystal clear following the riots during the Labor Day holiday five years ago.

And did this "club" do anything after those axe and knife attacks in Lithuania? Absolutely nothing. It was treated as if it never even happened.

Lest we forget... Labor Day 2010. 👎

Charles Diaz90 said:By "artificial," I meant they didn't build this from the ground up, which would have been more honorable. Instead, they took an existing club and changed its name.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a club member, 🤣

It isn't fair 🙂 players were brought in from other clubs just to play for Real Madrid🙂 🤣

Cleveland Montrose was founded in 2012. The first president was John Doe, and the coach was John Doe.
In their inaugural season (2012/2013), the club competed in the North Side 2nd Division and secured second place. This was followed by a one-year hiatus for the senior team, while the youth divisions continued to compete.

analogheron19 said:It’s a shame more people didn't show up yesterday. If the arena had been filled to capacity, I highly doubt we would have seen this final score.

I didn't see any real call to action for fans to attend that game, not even on the MPS Dinamo Facebook page. 🤷 Furthermore, does the Fusio centar even have proper seating, and what is its actual capacity?
If there had been a concerted effort to rally the Dinamo faithful to the Fusio centar, the level of support would undoubtedly have been at its peak.

Jacob Price23 said:Sunday, 6 PM, United Center!

Tickets for the match go on sale starting Wednesday for $8.25!

Arthur Flores2 said:Regarding what's being counted here, Washington, D.C. realistically has about a million people. And that’s without counting the surrounding metro area—not including towns like Ivanic, Kravarsko, Annapolis, Boulder, and so on.

Let's stick to the facts rather than relying on vague estimates.🥱
Washington, D.C. has a population of approximately 750,000 to 800,000.
