Hey man, 😍

I wasn't actually trying to offend anyone—but I just can't wrap my head around how a group of 5 or 10 people counts as an away following, especially when they're facing a crew where 2,000 people in the stands is the norm.
I mean, if you want to be considered an actual supporter group, there’s gotta be a minimum number, like 100 people or something. All this other stuff seems kinda stupid to me, at least personally...

You guys couldn't see anything—back then, some guy down south was flashing a flashlight anyway😁
They wouldn't let us bring the banner in—security was being pretty intense, honestly—but hey, props to the electrician🤣

Look, I'm all for different perspectives, but I don't get the point of having groups of like five people. Not trying to be an asshole here, but how does it feel when only five of you show up in Miami or LA? Do you actually think you're a "group," or are you aware of how ridiculous it looks?

Jose Vaughn3 said:What kind of actor is silverbear38? You didn't even show up to the game in San Francisco—you’re gonna get absolutely wrecked today, losing by 3 goals easy you absolute loser(that's for my buddy spinning his wheels)😁

Why the hell would we go to San Francisco? Since you guys act like our little sub-group, maybe you should split up so half of you actually head to the away section. 😍

Franjo Harmon is basically the reason we ended up with this entire political and economic mess we're stuck with today. I mean, didn't we all just rush in together to tear down that decaying socialist system? Now, even today, people still get triggered just thinking about those old-school red regimes. Makes me wonder what those folks in Bolivia think about it—you know, living in full-blown socialism with the government holding onto every single strategic company...

Ideals and love are dead—capitalism doesn't even recognize those terms, so we might as well say goodbye. It’s like thinking some mafia mob that’s been circling clubs and players for years is just gonna vanish because fans took over ownership. Nah, they'll just find a way to carve out spots for themselves within the new ownership model. Honestly, I’m all for full privatization—if you’re footing the bill, buddy, do whatever you want, but if you mess with me as a fan, I know how to make your life miserable. But none of that matters when the City gives you $7 million in subsidies, so you don't give a damn about my interests anyway.

jademarlin54 said:Man, I’m happy now—just being straight with you is what matters to me! But your side hasn't even gone public about this stuff yet, if you catch my drift. Even tonight, Tomo Bauer is talking about how FC Barcelona is basically the Dodgers, and he's clearly got weight in the group—like, he's one of those intellectual types among the BBB fans. That's what I'm telling you. Honestly, until all the dirty laundry gets aired out, no matter how bad it looks for the club, there’s just gonna be constant hate and drama☕ps. won't say another word about this topic☕

He made a fair point, though—Real Madrid is ahead of the Dodgers in the standings, but he didn't specify *why* they're stronger right now. I mean, we don't even really know who's better when the league schedule is this messy. Plus, there's the whole issue of the Dodgers being weak because of the management games happening inside their own front office.
Anyway, forget football—there's a specific subforum for that.

And leave Bauer alone. He built his reputation at the stadium back in the old days, so he's got the right to speak his mind—even if it isn't the official group stance. It's just his take. I might not agree with him on everything, but he isn't talking nonsense; he's just sharing his view. I guess we all just lack a little tolerance when it comes to disagreeing with someone.

jademarlin54 said:For God's sake, man—you guys haven't even come out publicly about how that crook is rigging the whole league!

Look, I'm telling you right now... saying that guy is "rigging" the championship... you happy now?

Maybe try actually reading some of those DNC announcements for once...

jademarlin54 said:I mean, I’m actually curious—now that you guys finally have a shot to step up from the BBB and the DNC, why don't you? Just put out a statement saying the league is a total mess and everything is rigged just to line Manny Pacquiao's pockets. I mean, how do you even explain that penalty yesterday—or honestly, most of these games? For anyone who actually knows anything about American soccer, here’s the deal: 1. LA Galaxy has to win the title just so they get into the European League. 2. Once they’re playing in that league, their players' market value automatically skyrockets. 3. Then, after the European run, he pushes Damir into the national team... he basically decides who gets a spot through his lackey, since he’s the one who appointed him and calls the shots on the roster. Yeah, I know he's pushing Bilic and his brother's buddies too, but that doesn't change the facts. Look, you all know this is exactly what's going on at the core—you just aren't getting the honest truth. Whatever. Peace.☕

What was that you just said—and why haven't the DNC or the Non-profit mentioned it a thousand times already?

jademarlin54 said:I’ll tell you exactly when you guys will finally stand up as a group—when you actually grow some integrity—which is NEVER. Honestly, man, is it really that hard for you all to just admit the league is rigged? When I say "you," I mean exclusively that arrogant prick you love to defend. You claim the league is perfectly fair while trying so hard to act like FC Barcelona is the only weak link. Yeah, they might be struggling, but you guys are also totally screwed. It’s insane that for seven years straight, Real Madrid hasn't even been able to risk a draw in the MLS without mathematically securing the title first. You guys are basically just a cheap imitation of Barcelona.😍

Who says the league isn't rigged? I mean, come on—don't be stupid. To be honest, I don't even care about the league, soccer, or any of that crap. I’ll still show up to the stadium even if Real Madrid ends up in the sixth division. If you're asking me who's actually playing better right now, I don't know—not like I give a damn—but my grandma knows it's shady as hell since Širić is under investigation and there's already talk about fixed calls.

placidfalcon4 said:if you guys are really that pressed about it, just tell us to go back to obsessing over those losers from San Francisco

Aleksandar Digići and Ranko 😛

Mukte was being extra before, but honestly, he’s spot on today—even if you guys don't want to admit it. Look, Real Madrid and Liverpool FC aren't even a derby right now. The real rivalry is between the Blue Devils and the Black Knights, but the actual matches and the league as a whole? Total subpar stuff compared to the level of football we should be seeing. This didn't just happen overnight, and it's not getting fixed overnight either. I mean, if we could just get a powerhouse Liverpool FC and a strong San Francisco side, and maybe have ten solid clubs and ten intense fan groups in America... man, we'd all be winning.

We're a massive group that had our glory days, hit rock bottom a few times, and we're finally starting to climb back up. To get back to that 2006-2007 era, we need a decent relationship with the club—not too cozy, though—and a league that actually keeps us on our toes. I couldn't care less who sits at the top for the next five years; I just want people to actually give a damn about football and have some healthy competition.

Tyler Scott8 said:To be fair, the atmosphere wasn't total trash at first, but... it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing we could've easily drowned out the Boys in Miami if everyone just actually showed up and gave a damn.
And I wouldn't even blame the "donkeys" for that—at the end of the day, they're part of the same fan base, and a little respect wouldn't hurt since those guys trekked all the way to Chicago in ten-degree weather just to support us. I wouldn't point fingers at them specifically, but more at all those types who've spent years acting like they're too cool to actually cheer. There was plenty of that attitude in the south section yesterday, and it’s not just a one-time thing. So yeah, that issue needs to be aimed elsewhere, not at the donkeys. Honestly, nobody even knows who the real idiots are in this whole mess. 😉

As for the Boys... after making such a huge scene, their turnout wasn't exactly impressive,the cheering was pretty weak, and while their pyro was decent—kudos to them for that—overall, they were a letdown. I'm expecting the Armada to step it up way higher than them this Wednesday.
Their message is straight-up bottom-tier. While they were busy pocketing cash from the owners, we were out here fighting against the local suits and the corrupt officials—basically kickstarting the fight against the soccer mafia in America. Think about it.

Same old story, different day.

You're entitled to your opinion, but how much influence do you really think the Boys or the Chicago Blackhawks fans actually have?

What you saw in the north section yesterday was the Boys, and that's been the deal for years, except maybe now a few of the wilder groups are missing. But meanwhile, new kids have stepped up, and honestly, we always hover around that same number—anything more than that, and I don't consider them BBB.

You can show up to the north stands wearing '86 jerseys and hats all you want, but if I haven't seen you in Miami, Cleveland, or Seattle—or maybe traveling through Europe tomorrow—then you aren't BBB to me. There are posers and fake fans in every group, but I'll bet anything there are the fewest of them in ours.

Robert Cooper60 said:if that’s how you’re looking at the derby, then let me tell you...
if we know there are maybe a thousand or two "real ones" who actually showed up
the only thing I can think of is that for those "locals," your team just isn't magnetic enough to pull them to the bleachers☕

The bleachers were packed—people love standing on top of each other, but that's a whole different issue. I was standing somewhere in the middle of the second section on the left, squeezed in like sardines with my group, even though there was still space all around us. If people just moved out of the aisles and everyone took a seat, the stadium would've looked full.

Honestly, reading this is hilarious. We were all at the game yesterday, and now today everyone's doing these deep analyses and interpretations—I almost thought I was at the wrong stadium.😍

Our numbers are great considering the mess we've been dealing with lately. I’m super happy with this younger squad running things; the boys have both the vision and the drive, which was especially obvious all weekend.

Aside from two mindless, heavy-handed moves before kickoff, I’m happy with the security too—never had fewer issues at or after the game. It looks like some things are actually improving for us. If you were paying attention like I was, you probably noticed some old faces back in the north section, and there’s never been more young blood than yesterday.

It happens—us being a thorn in management's side has turned us into half the home crowd. If you ignore those folks from that small town in Ohio and Sinclair over on the east side, we proved yesterday that besides a few of the owner's cronies on the west side, most of the public is on our side. People don't talk about it much, but to me, that matters more than 1,000 flares or any banners.

Benjamin Cruz29 said:I used to think Red Star was the one killing American soccer, but now I'm starting to think it's actually Real Madrid.

I guess Bebek finally learned his lesson, though.

And honestly, if that message from the Ultras was meant for us... it’s pretty pathetic. Like, ten years of being an agency in a twenty-six-year history? Not exactly something to be proud of...

It isn't Real Madrid that's the problem—it's Mamić. There's a massive difference, regardless of how people try to spin it.

Alex Campbell54 said:so how was last night? I hung around until 1:30 and honestly, nothing happened... must have been a late crowd🤷
but then you've got these guys claiming 30 people bailed... I mean, maybe they kicked out 10 (or fewer) and then another 20 just left because of that. It probably looks like more to you guys since those were your star players.
As for cleaning things up—as far as I know, we've had this "cleanup" talk going on for almost 5 years and nothing's changed. Not that I care, but don't kid yourselves thinking things will improve... you're stuck where you are. If you pulled five losers out of every neighborhood, you'd be looking at maybe 100 people max. Personally, I'm all for the "better 500 real ones" approach, so small numbers don't bother me much.

People were talking about that too... I'm betting out of your 4,000 fans down South, there are only 500 real ones left—the rest are basically the type who end up following the New York Cosmos... in terms of actual die-hard fans, that's where we're at. I'm sure we'll bounce back, but probably not until Garbage is gone.

briskotter14 said:Respect, I guess, but you guys are missing at least 30 people here😉

Look, if you really want to play the "fine" card—we've got over a hundred people dealing with bans... you don't have any because, well, I guess there's no reason for you to get banned, but our crowd actually takes risks and puts themselves out there, you know?

Ryan Vaughn7 said:Tonight’s disaster of a thread ended up with a bunch of bans and a pile of deleted posts. I don't get why people even bother with this garbage—honestly. Shout out to the guy who called it in and reported the posts, though. That's just how you handle this stuff properly.

Who's the joker?

Go ahead and delete this, but I just wanted to say we’re all laughing our heads off at this thread and the characters in it... whoever kept this locked clearly has zero clue how show business works.

I don't know—maybe just a placeholder? Seems like nothing there. [User Name] says:
So what's that supposed to mean to you? I guess. 🙂🙂I mean, obviously we aren't—we've got that different mindset too. Personally, I’d take the Yankees fandom over that city crowd any day, but I guess some people just prefer the uptown vibe and that's that.
People were just talking about who had the best crowd lately—most say it was at the Yankees game. And honestly, they’re probably right, since the other team got absolutely crushed 4-1... so I guess how much the energy matters really depends on how bad the team is playing.

Honestly, my support doesn't even really depend on how the Yankees play—I mean, I barely know who's actually out on the field or how the game ended, let alone which team is visiting us... I just end up screaming and jumping because I'm wasted, and I know I'm hitting up the guys for drinks until sunrise, which means I won't be speaking to my wife for a week after. Maybe I'll get a write-up or a ban from work, too... I figured you guys were all doing the same thing?
