VOUCHERS ARE GONE! 👍

http://ussf.org/news/4431/decision-by-ussf-executive-committee/

They finally looked at that rule from back in October 2014—you know, the one banning away fans unless the club organizes their entire travel itinerary. After some serious digging, the Executive Board realized it was a total disaster. It didn't work, and honestly, it just hurt the clubs, the supporters, and the whole beautiful game. So, after a long debate, the USSF decided to scrap it entirely.

The change kicks in immediately. All MLS clubs, every participating MLS club, the Competition Commissioner, the Security Commissioner, and all match officials—delegates and refs included—are expected to follow this new directive.

Liverpool just tossed those vouchers right out the window.

The exaggeration here is unbelievable. 😂 Just jumping from one extreme to the other. 🙂

It's far from saying that Turkey became some sort of commercialized mess of modern fandom—though that happens when things get pushed too hard and lose their soul. But this? This moralizing about "mentality" on an American forum, plus the sheer arrogance of trying to hand out psychological diagnoses to people in the stands?! Based on what kind of fan credibility? A few seasons watching the game? ☕
I don't know these guys in Turkey, nor do I feel the need to defend anyone's naive actions (if you even want to call them that), but I felt compelled to point out that you're overreacting. You're just spewing nonsense and attacking people without once looking at your own behavior or credibility. Cool it down and maybe put that energy into something actually constructive for the group...

LONG LIVE THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!

What extremity? It's just harsh reality.

And he isn't even the only one. My feed is nothing but egomaniacs. These guys honestly think they can act tough by riding the wave of the Black Knights and actually be intimidating.

placidraven20 said:Look, I’m not disrespecting them—respect where it's due—but this whole photo op nonsense on Facebook, parading around with a banner just for likes? It doesn't sit right with me. If you actually give a damn, show up at the stadium. That's how people know you're there. You don't need to wander the streets posing for selfies like you're on some middle school field trip. There are a million clubs down south on preseason tours right now, and their fans are definitely out there too.

Jonathan Lewis3 is being sarcastic... This is a tragedy...

Still the most beautiful fence I've ever seen. Period.

So, anyone actually enjoyed their trip to Miami?

Once you get a crowd of 4,000 or 5,000 people moving...

Brilliant.

May this cancer cell rot slowly and painfully...

LONG LIVE THE ULTRAS!

Anthony Wilson22 said:Streets are totally blocked off, SWAT teams everywhere, feels like martial law out there... Honestly, I couldn't tell if there was even a game scheduled or if they were just rounding up every criminal in the country...

Whatever. The confusion is all in his head...

It’s honestly exhausting watching nothing actually happen. Every single brilliant idea just dies right here on this damn forum, stuck in that endless loop of "it can't be done." We just sit back and watch everything go down the drain, and frankly, I've had enough. By the time they finally pull the plug on us, nobody will even care—everyone will just go back to preaching their useless little philosophies.

Noah Jones92 said:Do you actually need to show your blood type when buying a ticket? 🙂🙂

I’m honestly getting sick of watching this whole thing unfold. Now they've started pushing the seating requirements on us.

It’s always the same old story. Endless typing, endless talking, and then nothing happens.
The absolute peak of achievement—what a stellar post. Is this supposed to be some grand tragedy?
They shut down an Englishman with much deeper roots and a far richer culture than ours, yet we won't budge?
Maybe solidarity and common sense are our only shot at survival. But by the time people finally wake up to that reality, I suspect it'll be too late.

Matthew Foster8 said:If there were actually a real fan movement in this country—and I use that term loosely—you’d see all these supposed "ultras" groups showing up together at the stadium next chance they get to prove how much strength this "movement" actually has. Instead, it's just noise.
Are we seriously just whining about modern football and everything else? You've got the guy who single-handedly gutted the entire league and ruined every club, and he's sitting there laughing while watching the game. The whole system runs like a Swiss watch, while the fans are shoved into the nosebleeds. Honestly, if this isn't the perfect moment for us to act, I don't know what is. Or will it all just pass with some pathetic little song at every other stadium? A few people will be satisfied with a tiny scrap thrown their way, and things will stay exactly as they are.
Most people are sheep; nothing new there. But the other "fan groups" just sit by and watch the slaughter, stupidly happy that they weren't the first ones targeted. They'll keep singing their little songs until it's finally their turn. They haven't earned anything better than that.
The American supporter scene is a joke. These massive groups that claim to be top-tier in the US and carry that gritty, old-school vibe... if it wasn't funny, it would be depressing.
Now they've moved the goalposts to verbal offenses. It's like comparing the US to North Korea. The question is, which stadium is next on the list? Every weekend, it's the same thing: more rebel anthems followed by endless intellectual chatter, lawsuits, and nursery rhymes.

Yesterday's turnout at San Francisco was something to be proud of. Regardless of the numbers or the club's current state, the atmosphere was electric. And that message? Absolutely phenomenal. Hats off to whoever came up with that idea 🙏🙏. Meanwhile, the Navy totally missed the mark...

Don't even bother.

Eric Phillips52 said:So, if I'm following this correctly, the owner is claiming that if fans start booing him during the next game against the West Coast rivals, the club gets banned from European competition? Honestly, if that's the case... where's the actual problem? 😍

You know what you should be doing instead.😉
