Does anyone know if there’s an English sportsbook out there that would actually let you place a bet on certain USSF matches being called off early?

We should have a decision tomorrow on whether they’re even going to play this Saturday.🙂🙂

cosmicbear15 said:Alright, let's say I agree with you for a second, but I have one question for you and everyone else here.
Do you honestly believe the Kansas City Chiefs have any kind of future with their current business model? Do you think they can actually produce results on the field? More importantly, do you really think the Chiefs—as they operate today following that privatization deal—can survive without declaring bankruptcy in the near future?

Of course they do!

If you spent even a little time reading through the soccer corner, I could probably send you some deep-dive analyses from other forums showing exactly how the Chiefs can turn a profit every single year. Without relying on player sales, and considering the marketing situation is currently a disaster that still needs to get off the ground, the club is pulling in about 50 million a year. Finally putting turnstiles at the stadium—which is really just a way to stop certain individuals within the club from skimming off the top—is just one step in a series of moves that will definitely pay off (not to mention all the money lost from selling duplicate tickets for European matches and big derbies). I don't want to spend the whole time talking about the Black Knights on a thread dedicated to the Chiefs' current struggles, but if the "Our Chiefs" project hadn't happened, bankruptcy would be the only logical outcome given how funds were mismanaged after privatization under government protection. Besides, cities like Savannah are fighting for similar models that work for plenty of clubs across Europe.

So, did any of you actually join the "Our Chiefs" initiative? 😁

God, some nonsense gets posted here... maybe we should just start a separate thread for this stuff... hmmm 😍

Harold Kim5 said:In my view, the Kansas City Chiefs needs to undergo full privatization to wrap up what was started, plus the city should hold a 26% stake. Any new owner would have to respect certain unique aspects of the club—specifically, that the fans get to elect at least 40% of the board, while the private owner takes 50% and the city keeps 10%. I honestly think you could strike a deal like that with someone like Andabak, who has actually shown he cares about and understands the club. As things stand, the team isn't truly civic, isn't fan-owned, and isn't fully private, which just doesn't work in a capitalist system. Some parts of the Black Knights advocate for a German-style model like Bayern Munich, but they seem to forget that Bayern hasn't been systematically looted; we need to get back to zero first. That said, the recent decision by the Torcidin group to influence the board selection was a fantastic move and something we must preserve, because we finally have people there who love the club rather than using it for their own agendas, which is a huge win that any future owner should respect.

I wonder what kind of owner would actually agree to let a fan-elected board make the heavy-hitting decisions, bless her heart. 😍

Everyone keeps talking about finding some big-shot owner, but the reality is that in the last few years, not a single tycoon has stepped up with the cash needed to take over the Kansas City Chiefs. Andabak could have surfaced ages ago, and the city would probably sell him the team tomorrow if he could maintain a controlling interest.

We can start debating this once an actual patron willing to invest shows up, otherwise, aren't we just wasting our breath? When people try to claim that shady dealings are what's destroying our Kansas City Chiefs, it’s just old-school corruption at work.

Michael Gray94 said:Look, if you ask me, I don't think fans would ever actually want the power to make the big calls, but honestly, just forget everything said here; it's all way too broad for a forum debate where we're basically just spinning our wheels. Kudos to everyone putting in the effort and caring, though—time will tell how it all plays out.

this American forum is easily the best place to hang out and mess around for an hour
long live 🙂

But we actually do have a say in things right now, and I'm not sure what more a fan could possibly ask for from a club—maybe a private owner? Hmm. Well, the day some billionaire sheikh decides to buy the Kansas City Chiefs, that’s when we should probably start a boycott 😍...because that's exactly how you lose the soul of what the team represents. To me, the Chiefs will always be a club of the people, born from the fans and belonging to them. It's a different story that there hasn't been enough honest leadership running things lately, but that won't last forever either. I'm just hoping those days are behind us. Anyway, let's stop overthinking this and move on to something else...😉 😍

Michael Gray94 said:You just don't get it, man, and honestly, I don't even have the energy to break it down for you. Just try to look at the bigger picture instead of picking a fight over every little detail; you really need to grasp how this whole thing works.

So, here we are, two of us who are completely lost, and I say that without being arrogant or acting superior. I’m genuinely asking: do you actually consider the suggestions being made on this thread—or even on this forum in general—to be serious? We’ve got people out here spending their precious free time chasing ideals, trying to help our Red Sox, and finally, we’re seeing some actual movement. Fans should have a say in how things are run, and frankly, all those bureaucrats will eventually fall like dominoes.😉

Besides, why does it feel like there's such an urgent need to protest right this second? There’s nothing wrong with being part of the minority, though maybe it’ll be more honorable to stand our ground next year when our kids are playing with a fraction of the sponsorship money the current teams enjoy. Is something truly revolutionary happening within the US Soccer Federation that hasn't happened in the last twenty years? If not, then all this talk of boycotts feels like nothing more than posturing from people who never actually step up to do anything.

Better late than never, I suppose... 😍

Tomorrow we’ve got the big matchup against Cibalie at noon, and man, I think the heat is going to be absolutely brutal today...

So, is everyone getting ready for the river trip, or is it just me feeling like I'm stuck in a rut today? Did you all manage to grab a coffee this afternoon, or what's the word?
Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters in Fans ·
Honestly, how many idiots are we dealing with here? mjućilavakomhawk, what’s the deal with these games getting interrupted lately? I mean, what happens when the pitch actually gets swarmed by flares... an interruption is probably for the best... isn't it?

jademarlin54 said:To be honest, my sleep schedule is actually decent, but everything else is a mess. I’ll head out early in the morning thinking I'm among the first ones out the door, only to end up trailing along with the very last group. It just goes to show how much room I have left to improve, I guess. Honestly, it feels like something new is going wrong every fifteen minutes.☕

So, we’re sticking to the old ways—meet me tomorrow around noon at the pier, and we'll grab some photos to post on Meta. 😍

Is that even a question? I mean, obviously. We can definitely make this work. 😕Honestly, I’m just feeling pretty exhausted by all this. ☕

Don't mess this up. 😉

cosmicbear15 said:Well, I suppose it all comes down to whether those things are actually flares—because if they’re the heavy-duty kind, they’ll definitely pack a bigger punch than anything else out there. 🤣

The keys are just broken... plus/minus... they're shot. 😕

jademarlin54 said:It looks like half a bus and one car are heading our way.🙂Hehe, let's not go giving away our numbers just yet. That’s exactly what they’re dying to know, isn't it? I can only imagine the look on their faces when they finally see how many of us there actually are—though, honestly, they might not even realize what hit them until tomorrow. We'll just have to be patient and let them wonder.🙂

😍 👍

jademarlin54, how many flares do you think it takes to get all the way to Chicago? Just looking for a rough average... 😍

Keith Brown80 said:It’s all just noise, honestly. Why didn't they go after that first group back in St. Petersburg?

I actually have photos from when we were just hanging out in a plaza there, totally unarmed, just posing with some scarves, and they didn't even bat an eye.

It’s a complete joke, really—you'd think we were talking about aliens or something.

If there hadn't been such a massive police presence in Miami, things would have gone south fast, and everyone knows it.

Well... everyone has their pros and cons. If anyone is actually interested in the details regarding those Russians, they can just hit up their own forums or use Google Translate to realize it isn't the world-ending threat people make it out to be, and that's that.😁

Besides, we've got our own responsibilities here at home now.😛

Anyway, Peća is over here training while Darth Vader is having dinner with me, haha. Honestly, there's nothing quite like sitting down for a coffee when you're feeling this good.😁

Benjamin Cruz29 said:I’ve never been much for these modern, superficial friendships... they just don't do it for me. But this bond with NNB is different; it happened naturally and we've been standing together for twenty years now (freedom for America), so I don't see any valid reason why people keep trying to discredit us or tear that friendship apart. And honestly, as far as those attacks go, hats off to them... especially when they're coming from our own side.

As for the clashes... man, they act like they come from a massive metropolis like New York City and think they have more hooligans than the entire United States combined. In reality, our NFL Ultras are nowhere near their level... not even close (at least when things get physical).

Blood, sweat, and tears... that's what it takes to get things done.

analogheron19 said:it's because you went ahead and quoted that whole moronic, threatening, insulting mess in your own post...

It’s all good 😉

I guess now those idiots can just go back to hurting themselves directly, the absolute morons.

analogheron19 said:Guys, let’s dial it back a notch. For now, they’re just scrubbing posts, but if everyone keeps acting like this, things might get a lot uglier...

I’d love to know exactly what you deleted from my post, because honestly, it seemed pretty reasonable—just a call for everyone to chill out so the idiots don't keep running wild. Go ahead, explain it to me, I'm all ears...🤷

Here’s how the schedule looks for our next three matchups:

Round 22: March 17, 2012 – Saturday DINAMO vs. HAJDUK 6:00 PM

Round 18: March 21, 2012 – Wednesday SEATTLE vs. HAJDUK TBD

We're going to absolutely steamroll Dinamo, Seattle, and Chicago; honestly, I'd give my life standing right in the middle of the North Stand for Hajduk.🙂

So, let's get everyone together who plans on grabbing coffee all day long.😁
