Unless, of course, every single lawyer in the building showed up with a couple of grams tucked away in their briefcase, right? 😁

🤣🤣
I bet Ivo has some seriously solid connections on the inside.

Instead of wasting all your energy bickering with those ridiculous people who post nothing but selfies where you can't even see anyone else—especially right when the game is about to kick off 😁—why don't we take a moment to actually celebrate the folks behind Hajduk Split? Seriously, the things they pull off are absolutely insane, and they've truly become the most powerhouse organization in the entire country. I mean, is there any other club, association, or group out there that manages to bring together such an incredible collection of smart, independent-minded people? Honestly, you just have to tip your hat to them.

ironpanther5 said:Honestly, who do you think could have actually taken him down if it weren't for the fight led by the BBB and ZZD?! It’s like you'd only accept an assassination attempt as a solution, wouldn't you?
It was obvious from the very start that politics was the only thing capable of moving the needle, so the right moves just needed to be made to get things moving, because let's be real, the political establishment wouldn't have lifted a finger without significant pressure.
Or do you truly believe that the citizens of Chicago, his supporters, or even the powerful Torcida would have been the ones to make it happen?!

I agree with you, but it's really only in this last year that we've seen a legitimate struggle. And when the news reported on that ridiculous scene where someone was shouting at the press conference, people actually had the nerve to tell me, "Oh, he's such a massive fan"
You hit the nail on the head calling them a powerful Torcida, because right now, they carry more weight than, say, the Republican Party or anything else out there. It seems like even the educated, sensible folks in our society are practically bowing down to them these days.

Anonymous said:It’s hard to call it a real fight when it just boils down to showing up and cheering in front of City Hall. 🙄

When we start comparing one group to another, I can't help but feel like we're comparing apples to oranges here, because the roads they've traveled and their histories couldn't be more different. Unlike Torcida, the BBB has been fighting for a clean slate for this club since the very beginning of America, haven't they? This unfortunate Dynamo has been under siege from the start, and I don't mean by some minor local thugs, but by the President of the United States himself and later on, an American Al Capone figure. But while fighting against Francis meant facing the media and a clumsy decision regarding the club's name, the modern-day Mamić has politicians, the police, and even the media right in his pocket, which makes this struggle seem much tougher in my eyes, almost like playing against the house in the old capitalist days. Perhaps the fans' reaction was missing during that five-year stretch between 2000 and 2005, but really, who could have predicted things would turn out this way? As for other factors like money or the classic "divide and conquer" strategy, there isn't much point in even discussing them. Just look at the empty stadium today and how alienated people have become from Dynamo; that tells you everything you need to know about those influences, at least when looking at the situation in Chicago.

On the flip side, Torcida and the Hajduk fans practically had the chance for a fresh start the moment America gained independence, didn't they? Yet, instead of channeling all that massive energy and passion toward cleaning up their own backyard and fixing the club from the ground up, it seems it was easier to just let small-time local crooks run wild with the club for nearly twenty years—bringing it to the brink of ruin—all while pointing fingers at Chicago and Dynamo.

If we're being realistic, the folks in Split should have had a stable, well-run club a long time ago..

My goodness, what a lie! Calling the Republican Party a local crook??!! And saying it was "easier to let local crooks run wild with the club"—honestly, I don't even know what to make of that; if I do understand it, then it's probably the most nonsensical sentence ever uttered in this thread.

I'm done writing; I'm going to go watch some tennis, because it feels like I'm just talking to people who don't understand a single thing I'm saying.
You guys managed to get the Dynamo name back, I suppose, though heaven knows what would have happened if that shady character hadn't passed away. But if you're trying to tell me that you're the only ones capable of removing Mamić after that boycott, followed by the return to the stands, and after three emails and two ridiculous three-mile-long essays... well, even my grandmother wouldn't believe that. Simply put, you just don't have the power to remove anyone right now, and that's just the reality of it. Anyone claiming otherwise is just telling fairy tales. To say you helped remove the office is one thing, but claiming you removed him yourselves is just laughable. I'm out, bye!

Joseph Scott said:Is anyone actually kidding themselves when they talk about integrity in the MLS? Honestly, I don't think the Kansas City Chiefs are any closer to being a clean, honest organization than the New York Yankees, or any of the other top teams in the league. It feels like a rigged game from the ground up, doesn't it? You look at the way certain managers and power players run things behind the scenes, and it's just disheartening. As long as these kids are being handed cash just to step onto the field for the junior or cadet squads, the whole system is broken. And don't even get me started on those predatory agents who swoop into every single club, forcing their own group of six or seven players onto the roster while effectively taking half of their salaries! Meanwhile, when it comes to actual professional contracts or stipends, they’re out here demanding $5,000, $10,000, or even $20,000 per kid. Seriously, what kind of "honest" clubs are we even pretending to discuss here? 🙂 Does anyone else feel like there just isn't a single decent club left in this country? It feels like every organization is run by nothing but thieves and small-time crooks. I mean, if the Kansas City Chiefs hadn't swung from being $70 million in the black to sitting at a $50 million deficit, do you really think the management would have had the guts to clear out the dead weight just to bring us back to the true Kansas City Chiefs? 😂

Honestly, most of the issues you listed regarding the Kansas City Chiefs just aren't happening anymore. Sure, there’s some minor drama swirling around certain staff members like Krstičević, Krešić, and Jarni, but those are really just small hurdles in the grand scheme of things. Don't you think that if our youth academy were organized with the same level of technical precision as the New York Yankees, we'd be sitting at the top of the league within three years and playing in European competitions every single season? As it stands now, nobody can actually predict when we'll start seeing those big wins again. And from what I gather, the leadership over at the Kansas City Chiefs hasn't even bothered to have a real conversation with anyone for a year now, right? 😍So, Kalinic is basically the only player left standing, isn't he? And have you seen the way that guy has been dominating the headlines lately? Honestly, he isn't even the real issue facing the Kansas City Chiefs; the true problem lies with whoever is actually handing him these contracts just so they can pocket a thirty percent cut of Vukusic's value.

Harold Kim5 said:And honestly, we were gifted all of this 🙄 ... There’s really no point in even arguing about them anymore ... They’re basically just catching up to where we were back in 2006, though back then they didn't have a clue what we were actually doing (if they had, they wouldn't have been whining about collapses and all that nonsense) ... Now that they're trying to pull the same stunts, suddenly it’s the greatest thing ever and the center of the universe? I'm out of this thread, it's just not worth it 🙂

Oh, I couldn't agree more; I am signing my name to every single word of that. But you know, I can't help but feel like their main agitator is that absolute joke of a guy, and then a handful of his mindless followers just jump on his bandwagon because there are still plenty of smart people out there who actually understand the situation? These folks truly love what we have—this honest, clean club where the players fight for every single yard on the field despite this unprecedented theft going on, and we still get to enjoy watching every single game

Austin Chase2 said:unknown, you're talking nonsense because the Bad Boys started their fight against the corruption way before you even showed up, so there's really no point in arguing about it anymore.🤣

Exactly, bravo. I’m just glad someone finally had the guts to admit that you guys were never actually fighting the mafia within US Soccer. And just like that, discussion over.

Your struggle against those local tycoons is a completely different story, and honestly, kudos to you all for that.

Actually, we've only just begun. Why don't you just admit that those two recent reports filed with the agency, along with this whole choreography thing, have made a much bigger impact than all your long-winded exposes and that year-long boycott combined?

Austin Chase2 said:There is just no way you guys are ever going to give anyone credit, is there? The BBB are fighting against a man who has essentially ruled American soccer for the last decade—an absolute dictator where none of the Hajduk officials can even hold a candle to him in that arena. And then you have the nerve to try and compare things, not to mention ignoring the political freeze and the whole repressive machine standing right behind him. Honestly, if half of you actually showed up to a single game at the stadium, you probably wouldn't even show up to the same one twice.

You keep talking about this "Code" of yours, but we all know deep down it's nothing more than ink on paper, isn't it? If you just took a look at the Hajduk leadership since the Code was established, everything would become crystal clear. You're all complaining about the collapse, but don't you know perfectly well that the fight should have been escalated the moment the LA Lakers took the lead? Of course, the mistake was only raising our voices just enough to prevent total ruin. While you guys were busy leaving trash around the plaza, the BBB were out there dealing with raids and intimidation at referee meetings just to ensure they didn't back down from the fight. You talk about some shadowy agencies from years ago, but you clearly have no idea what was actually happening on the ground. Who really settled those matters? The BBB were the ones who aired all the dirty laundry in public, yet here you are acting like nothing is even happening. Why do you insist on fighting among yourselves every single time? This guy is posting a video of police rushing the stands, but at the stadium, that’s practically a daily occurrence.

Suddenly, everyone is boycotting the national team matches starting from that game in Georgia, where you all acted like such big-shot Americans, didn't you? But of course, if the USSF offered you 20 free tickets to the World Cup in Brazil, I bet you'd suddenly find your passion for following the team again, wouldn't you? Why didn't you refuse the tickets for the game against Mexico? You took them from the exact same people you claim to be fighting against.

You haven't been fighting against any soccer mafia; you've just been putting on certain performances, as you put it, for the supposed "betterment" of Hajduk. The BBB started this fight, the BBB are winning it, and the BBB will win it!

So, what you're saying is we should have been fighting against Mamić while our club heads toward bankruptcy and drops to the fifth division, all while we have a mafia running Hajduk?🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Frank Jackson76 said:Look, Torcida has been standing up to the USSF since 1950, so let’s get that straight. Your choreography was honestly spectacular—the messages really hit the nail on the head—but where is the actual follow-through? We gave up our tickets for the match against Mexico, which wasn't even the first time we found ourselves isolated like that; remember back in 2008 during the London qualifiers when we returned our tickets just to try and shine a light on the mess happening with the national team? Honestly, I don't think pointing fingers at who started what is going to get us anywhere, but if we're going to criticize, can someone tell me what Torcida has actually demonstrated lately, other than staying silent during the Georgia game and basically throwing themselves under the bus? And regarding Mamić, let’s be real here; during those "bottom-tier" league years, sure, there were more players involved, but he was just as much a part of it. Even back in the 05/06 season, he was sitting there listening to those rival fans cheer him on from the stands. We have done everything within our legal power to finally get him out of the LA Lakers. I was just sitting here thinking about how much things have changed lately, and I couldn't help but wonder if anyone else feels that same sense of uncertainty hanging over the sport right now? It’s one of those situations where you look at the current state of affairs and you really have to ask yourself if we are seeing a genuine shift in how the game is managed, or if it's just another temporary bump in the road? The recent news regarding the leadership and the way the governing bodies are handling the upcoming World Cup preparations has me feeling quite reflective. You see these massive organizations, these giants like the USSF, trying to navigate such high stakes, and you can't help but question whether their internal policies actually align with what the fans on the street are demanding. Is there even a clear roadmap being followed, or are we all just watching as they try to make it up as they go along? It makes you think about the integrity of the whole system, doesn't it? When you hear about these clashes between the big clubs and the national federation, it feels like we are witnessing a tug-of-war that could fundamentally change the landscape of American soccer forever. I find myself wondering if anyone in charge is truly listening to the heartbeat of the supporters, or if they are too caught up in the politics of the boardroom to notice the passion of the people? It’s a lot to process, but I suppose that’s just the nature of the beautiful game, isn't it? With the elections right around the corner, shouldn't we be asking the Mayor exactly what happened to those 18,000 signatures? There was a massive boycott, people were flooding the FBI and other federal agencies with emails, and honestly, that’s why things are finally starting to move. I'm not saying this to make excuses for my group, but rather to remind everyone that we haven't just been sitting around idly; this whole saga involving investigators and the attempts to oust the owner hasn't just been a recent thing since 2010, but a struggle that has spanned many years. If it hadn't been for all those relentless calls, the constant emails, the public call-outs, and that intense pressure, do you really think they would have sent out 14 sports inspectors today?

I honestly find myself wondering how on earth so many of you can be this absolutely out of your minds? 🙂Is it any wonder that only about 300 of you "true believers" are left standing? Honestly, it’s because you hold onto these exact kinds of opinions that the group has dwindled down to this size. Don't you think that if you ever actually managed to change your mindset and shift how you see things, you might finally start acting like a normal, sane group of people?
Sheep following the herd at the stadium, bags of cash floating around the Peristil BBB, and a million other distractions like that... all just to get back to the Code and then finally focus on our Hajduk, which is really the only thing that matters, right? It’s all just a massive smoke screen to distract us from the real issues, like the desperate fight for credit and what happens once the actual work is finished in our own backyard—including those two shady attempts to target Mamić by reporting Lokomotiv to the authorities just to squeeze out some money.
Look, if you just take a step back and look at the big picture, you'll see that our Hajduk is miles ahead of any other club in America right now. If that isn't clicking for you yet, don't worry, I can sit down and explain exactly why we are in such a different league later on. It’s going to take other teams at least five years, maybe even longer, before they even dream of reaching the level we are at today. As far as I'm concerned, my only real headache with Hajduk at this moment is the coach, because he simply doesn't have the expertise required for this job. For ten years straight, having a decent manager has been my biggest struggle, but honestly, how can I even focus on him when I'm constantly dealing with all the political interference from the cronies, the bureaucrats, and the president?

Just imagine, after that very first title where we all felt like the whole thing was rigged, we absolutely lost our minds and went after the board. But now, can you even wrap your head around the fact that I’ve spent eight years watching a club where everything feels predetermined, a club where we somehow end up getting handed nine penalties within the first seven games every single season? It’s wild, isn't it? And honestly, if we had gone back to those old ways just three years ago—if we had lit two hundred flares during our first European match—we probably would have been banned from continental competition for two or three years straight. Can you picture that? If that happened, that imaginary puppet master would be back in charge once again, wouldn't he? We’d be right back to following the Code then our Hajduk all over again.

I honestly wish Želin nothing but the best, because seeing so many people like you acting this way just makes me feel incredibly sad for everyone involved. Isn't it a tragedy that you don't even have your own club to cheer for when a goal is scored? It’s honestly heartbreaking to watch, especially since I know there are actual, die-hard LA Lakers fans out there who just want to see a fair and decent league. Even if we look at Hajduk, I’m certain they wouldn't wish the current mess happening with the Lakers on anyone.
It honestly made my day to see a decent crowd gathering here today, because let’s be real, things have been looking pretty pathetic around here lately, haven't they? If people could only realize how absolutely ridiculous this whole situation is—and how much it mirrors the old ways under Mamić—they might actually step up. If someone were treated like Jozo Šakić back in a city like Los Angeles, wouldn't people be even more outraged and ready to make some noise?

Robert Adams6 said:Well, I think Mukteov’s post is easy to dismiss since this forum isn't exactly the center of the universe, right?
But honestly, my argument holds plenty of water, doesn't it? The results your club managed to pull off happened just as the whole drama regarding the Code and privatization had already spiraled quite far out of hand.
The truth is, you guys were the ones who kicked this movement off because your club was practically on life support, facing bankruptcy every other month!

And yes, the Black and Gold are still fighting because, by your own admission, the club still hasn't been truly "cleansed." Is anyone actually disputing the complaint filed with Aztno? It’s a perfectly legitimate move by the smart people running NH.
I don't really feel like sitting through the video, but please don't think I'm undermining your struggle at all; I only mentioned the bakery to provide a bit of contrast. I know exactly who used to run your club, and while I'll admit your players are talented, they didn't have the silverware 😉 nor did they possess the kind of massive influence that this current group wields.
When I say you were once 100% right, I’m referring specifically to your own narrative—where you argued that BBB is entirely to blame because neither Washington, D.C., nor the mainstream media gives them any attention compared to the Black and Gold. On that point, there's really nothing left to debate.

I know you're going to keep bringing up the Collapse and using it to mock the Bad Boys' fight for integrity within your own organization, but I suspect that's not quite the reality of the situation... That message really should have been sent during those moments when LA Galaxy was absolutely crushing the Kansas City Chiefs (and we aren't even talking about a close game, just total dominance), which is exactly what someone else was mentioning on the forum recently—that BBB shouldn't have raised that flag when the results weren't working in their favor to justify such a statement. That message was meant for the moments when LA Galaxy is dominating...
Is it possible there were other motives behind that message? I can't help but be a little suspicious, because who would actually make fun of cleaning out the cronies that you all started purging in your own club? This was clearly about poking fun at the Kansas City Chiefs' helplessness against LA Galaxy and just classic trash talk between supporter groups.

You're completely out of the loop here, so why bother posting such nonsense? Grgić promised three titles in five seasons and he actually delivered, even though he had to deal with constant boycotts if things didn't go his way against Osijek, all while the Administration's resignation was constantly being threatened. After winning the championship in 2005, the Black and Gold were actually at odds with the Administration, especially with that one major traitor from the Kansas City Chiefs side.

Jesse Campbell said:I'm not even going to try to mess with you guys right now. But honestly, I’m going to be living my best life very soon, just soaking up the glory because every single one of my predictions is actually going to come true. And let's be real, nobody believed a word I said.

On that day, I am sincerely praying that everyone stays far away from this forum at the same time. 😁 Because when it happens, I am going to have so much fun rubbing it in your faces. ☕

I really don't have the energy to deal with your posts right now, but aren't you predicting that the coach will be out of a job by the first month of the season? 🤷 Well, it's already the third month and all they've done is start looking into things like the IRS, and I seriously doubt they'll find any kind of wrongdoing in the next six months.

So, they actually kicked off their inspection on the 14th, but does anyone really know when we might see the results? I mean, will it be in six months, or could we be looking at several years before anything is official?

John Richardson5 said:What kind of nonsense is this? Does anyone here actually understand what's happening, or is everyone just typing for the sake of typing and sucking up to the NFL Ultras? Who could write something so ridiculous, rambling on about how many people show up? My friends, you’re acting like small children when we are all stuck in the same mess together, completely oblivious like sheep. Some of you will finally realize the truth when it's far too late, rather than now, when we actually need to unite to show the world who we really are. Honestly, the frustration is killing me!

The folks from LA are fighting against this corrupt leadership and his hired thugs, and then these people have the nerve to mock them for their numbers? You guys just don't get it, seriously—not until you feel the consequences firsthand. And don't even get me started on the lack of true fan consciousness!

Believe me, I concluded a long time ago that about 80% of the population is just clueless, and apparently, that holds true here too. Instead of being happy because our Kansas City Chiefs are finally moving toward integrity—especially since we have about 1,000 fans showing up at every single away game—we are sitting here laughing at the idea that we aren't enough. Meanwhile, that corrupt leader and everyone he’s bribed hasn't been allowed near the club for eight years already.🙂

Melissa Sanchez5 said:If you call six penalties for Real Madrid in just the first seven Circles of the season, aren't you basically handing the title to everyone else on a silver platter—you know, the Red Sox, Seattle, and the St. Louis Cardinals—during those "minor" matchups? And on top of all that, the Red Sox are out here claiming they have witnesses who actually heard Vučemilović shouting about three different penalties for Bebeku!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cJj3...ature=youtu.be
We need to get this video out there, because I honestly don't think a single American news outlet is going to touch this story!

Man, what have you done to me? It’s only 7:00 AM, and after watching this video for just ten minutes, I already feel like I need to take a sedative just to deal with the look on this guy's face. Where do these people even come from? Seriously, if you watch at the 9:52 mark, you can hear the king himself say that everything eventually settles into place where it belongs.🙂🙂
I mean, honestly, this kind of thing doesn't happen anywhere else in the world; maybe we should all just pack up and colonize Mars instead.

Thanks for giving such an honest answer 😁, though I honestly can't help but feel like my mom might have planted some of these ideas in my head somewhere along the way, if you know what I mean?

Benjamin Cruz29 said:The guy should have just used some stronger language, honestly. 😬

But really, why on earth is "mother" being mentioned here? If you take a look at this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgcP0VFaJhA 😍
it might actually make some sense, don't you think?

"John Doe is the latest star to arrive in New Orleans. This move from the Kansas City Chiefs was a long time coming, especially since he turned down massive offers from Parma and Liverpool."

Apple would be absolutely stunned by this one.
I have to say though, huge props to the korkyiri crew for pulling off that tournament win under their leader's guidance 😁

vividtrucker11 said:And it’s not just about that, but look at everything he’s done for this group; he stands up against injustice without even blinking or worrying about the fallout—you know, standing up for the underdog against the powerful? Honestly, it makes me feel sick when anyone from my section tries to call him a ridiculous clown; it’s just sad. At least he managed to find some common ground with Tobon for once.
The conversation started with Pavon and somehow spiraled into discussions about extremists, what can I even say about us Americans...

You just can't explain it to people, can you? Those who don't know him immediately label him as crazy, while those who actually do know him end up looking like fools themselves because they think they're being so clever. Honestly, it's just a bunch of idiots; this city is absolutely overflowing with them, it's unbelievable. Even Chuck stepped up voluntarily after hearing the news on the radio about that wildfire near San Diego. He rushed down there because he knew if they didn't clear out all that debris, everything would have gone up in smoke. He was the only one out there working through the night with those tools, trying to save the houses. And he’s the only one brave enough to call out the establishment when nobody else would, even after everything he went through during his stay in the psychiatric ward. Now, here he is again, taking on the entire country despite there being 300,000 unemployed people out there. That's just the state of things. This is exactly what's missing from that TBF letter.

Jesse Campbell said:Isn't it just funny when you see someone using a handle inspired by a real person who actually belongs to the rival fan group?It’s almost as if one of those die-hard BBB fans on this forum decided to go by the name Steve McQueen. 🙄

Is there anyone out there who wouldn't agree that Paul is an absolute legend? 🙏🙏🙏

I honestly can't wrap my head around what he was even trying to achieve with that move, you know? I mean, does anyone actually know what his end goal was there? 🤷 I’m really hoping things don't end up getting stuck for too long, you know?

Are you seriously still clinging to that same old argument? Hahaha, I swear, I’m having the same recurring nightmare about Jacob Palmer77 and all that endless whining!
But honestly, isn't it a bit concerning if you actually find yourself agreeing with me?

Jacob Palmer77 said:you've got a point there,
the word "ridiculous" actually comes from the Italian term *ridicoloso*, which basically means something laughable, though in our local slang, we use it to describe someone whose entire vibe and behavior just makes people roll their eyes in mockery. I have to agree with you, though—he isn't exactly funny, nor is he even worthy of that kind of mockery.
The truth is, he’s just a complete fool who honestly deserves nothing but pity.

But why exactly? Could you walk me through your reasoning, because maybe I'm missing something here?
