There seems to be significantly more tension and animosity directed toward the matches between the coastal teams or even those old battles against the teams from the Midwest—rather than toward the Eternal Derby itself.
It’s painfully obvious that the US Soccer Federation and the First Division Association couldn't care less about the fans or actual viewership levels. You really can experience just about anything these days—it's wild. But scheduling a match for professional First Division clubs at 3:00 PM on a weekday? Honestly, the level of amateurism is staggering—it's just ridiculous. And we aren't even talking about some meaningless friendly—this is a high-stakes match that could determine their path toward European competition. Good grief.
I am the one representing Mamu Buljan—not her brother, Mamu ŠČ. And I sincerely hope—truly, deeply hope—that most of my colleagues will join us, regardless of which team colors they wear.
I’m sitting here watching the game at a little cafe near the Marriott hotel. Instead of actually paying attention to the match, these old guys—real old-school types—are just nursing their beers and Rieslings and showing off their automatic transmissions. Even the waitress looks like she belongs in a different era entirely. It was much better yesterday; we were up 2-0 and they even brought out chips with the beer.
Is that Plenković sitting on the bench for the Šibenik squad? Where did they all go? — Honestly, I feel like I'm looking at an empty parking lot after a stadium event.
You’re probably out here rooting for the Dodgers—given how much you love Prodanović—yet you still insist on trolling them! Back in my day, families were split right down the middle—some were die-hard Yankees fans, others followed the Red Sox, and then there were the Mets people—all the way up until the 90s. We absolutely loathed the Giants from the bottom of our souls.

After those semifinals, everyone seems happy—some with the winners, others feeling like there was an outright invasion of our territory. In the finals, we’re likely looking at the Cup, which will be a total takeover by the Funkys—in every sense of the word. Grandpa's hungry for some old-school grit. With these two powerhouse clubs and all their trophies, everything feels perfectly balanced. Now that Mamić is out of the picture, we can finally have some lasting peace—a true dualistic League.
Gary Cooper3 said:This is just typical logic from the US Soccer Federation—which, honestly, isn't all that different from how UEFA operates... I recall once when UEFA had that Porto vs. Monaco final, and more than a few people were adamant that a matchup like that should never be allowed to happen again.
The USSF decided to rebrand the Cup, or so they claim. From what I can gather about these things, the finals are usually played in packed arenas—it’s always tense, high stakes, and frankly, a bit unpredictable. Now, just imagine the absolute disaster they’d face if the final came down to a matchup between teams like a mid-tier club from Des Moines and a side from Savannah... My gut tells me that kind of scenario is the last thing they want to deal with.
If you combine a city like Savannah with a town like Bloomington—we’re talking about maybe 54,000 people between them—you still can't find 3,000 folks to fill half of the Rujevića stadium... which makes me wonder—honestly—if we even need sports clubs at all. Who exactly are they even playing for? — I mean, seriously—it’s hard to tell lately.
Milardovicu—who used to play for Cibalia and a few other clubs in the top flight—is now coaching Čepin During the match between Čepin and Graničar Županja, the Graničar physiotherapist actually bit someone's finger off during a fight Now, those are some real topics
Check this out—if they’ve officially annexed those regions, then three of them currently have "occupiers" inside their borders In one instance, they even have an "occupied capital" under their control When do they actually plan on resolving this?
It is high time they provided some support for Russia—specifically for the two largest minorities, the Volga Tatars and the Bashkir Georgians. The Georgians and Armenians are fleeing through massive crowds at the border with Georgia—meanwhile, plenty of Azeris in Russia are likely looking for any way to break free.
