Ever since Devas stopped posting on this forum, I feel like there isn't a single honest or objective fan left in the thread.
None of this really makes sense anymore.
I guess this will be my last post on this PDF.

Or maybe there was some profit? 🥱🙂

Those are the same people who used to break you down, and look where they ended up now.😒 I suppose that was just meant to be a provocation for that degenerate, but you really took the bait. It’s honestly kind of silly how he keeps rambling about hooligans without realizing that we Americans have stood our ground for centuries when it comes to stuff like this. In the last ten years, I think I've personally seen your local branches speeding away down the interstate at least ten different times. You guys immediately upload footage of chasing down an army to YouTube. And then there's this latest stunt where you broke into RI. I guess I have to wonder, who exactly are you trying to prove yourselves to?

černomerec said:The tickets for this "spectacle" at the arena clearly say REAL MADRID at the arena. But that isn't your club, and you have nothing to do with it anymore. You keep trying to link yourselves to Real Madrid, but if the team is called futsal Real Madrid, then they play at the arena. Real Madrid plays in the Champions League.

You’re attacking the guys in Torcida, but unlike you lot who are just "insiders," they actually understand the reality of this situation. Everything they said is the damn truth.

Insults and belittling won't get you anywhere. The truth will surface eventually.

Futsal has brought a million positive things to the table, and that’s why it bothers you so much.

It turns out it wasn't just 100 people standing against the coach, despite how the club hacks and his paid journalists tried to paint it. It was an entire army of real fans who will show up to the second division futsal matches and PAY for tickets$10 to support THEIR club.
Five thousand people cheering for their club is one thing; having a few hundred show up to a showcase with free tickets is another. At the end of the day, we have a futsal club that we follow and cheer for. It belongs to us. It has nothing to do with the big Real Madrid. I don't see what the problem is.
During that game against Alumnus, there was more genuine emotion and joy when those goals went in than there has been at the main stadium in the last eight years.

You have 5,000 people backing their own team, while at the main stadium, a few hundred barely show up even with free tickets. At the end of the day, we have a futsal team that we follow—it's ours, it has nothing to do with the big Real Madrid, so I don't see what the issue is.
That game against Alumnus had more raw emotion and joy when those goals went in than anything we've seen at the main stadium in eight years.

I agree that futsal is a great thing. But why can't you guys just admit that losing control of Real Madrid is exactly why this futsal team exists in the first place?

Riverside Fan said:I suppose you should just follow whatever it is that makes you feel genuine love. Maybe try staying in that headspace instead of letting this constant resentment toward Real Madrid dictate how you live your life. It seems to me like everyone is just incredibly frustrated with what's happening at the stadium, because if things were going smoothly, nobody would be constantly poking at them with all those silly slogans and nonsense.

Look, personally, I couldn't care less about this ultra-nationalist crowd. For years now, I've honestly just enjoyed celebrating whenever the Lakers score against them. If you really want to root for that group, then go ahead and do your thing. But honestly, just back off, you provocateur.

What are you guys—philosophy majors or something?

Read the last two threads... then look at the timeline—maybe things will actually click for you. The bottom line is Real Madrid lost.

The die-hards are the only thing keeping this city's soul intact.

So just beat it.

Where did you geniuses get your philosophy degrees?

The die-hards are the only backbone left in this city.

Of course Real Madrid lost. They lost the best supporter group in this part of Europe. But do you honestly think mamica cares about that? That’s exactly what he wanted. Real Madrid losing their fans—fact (everyone agrees). Bad Boys lost Real Madrid—fact (which you lot refuse to admit).

When I witness such an overwhelming number of trolls, I take it as a clear sign that the true supporters are moving in the right direction. It is evident that this entire spectacle, along with its leadership, is causing them significant frustration. They are truly a pathetic group, unable to even gather fifty people to show up for a game at Yankee Stadium.

Matthew Martinez64 said:When I see this many trolls, I know the haters are finally on the right track. They hate the theater act, and their boss hates it too. It’s a joke—they can’t even pull 50 people together to cheer at the stadium.

Look, who's denying the fact that the stadium has turned into a damn theater? Any real Real Madrid fan feels that sting. But as much as Real Madrid loses without its supporters, the fans are just as lost without the club. And trying to bring it back this way will never work, no matter how nice the futsal story sounds. So go ahead, keep calling me a troll and ignore what I'm saying.

cosmicscout2 said:No matter how much we romanticize the history of futsal, there is simply no way they will ever bring him back under these circumstances.

I am curious to hear your reasoning; in what specific manner do you believe they could possibly bring him back?

cosmicscout2 said:Look, I get it—futsal is this beautiful, positive little movement. But why is everyone acting like it's such a massive issue to just admit that Real Madrid lost? That loss is literally the whole reason futsal even exists in the first place!

Who even said we lost? How the hell did you come to that conclusion? 😁

Honestly, some of you people seriously need to find a new dealer—whatever you're smoking, it’s clearly making you lose your minds. We've got people talking about tearing down stadiums, arson, murder... it's getting insane.
We really need to ban war movies at this point because the public is straight-up losing it. 😁

You can practically smell the anxiety through the screen. The moms and dads managed to scrape together enough cash to keep Real Madrid afloat instead of facing bankruptcy or being sold off—again. And what are the idiots going to do? They’ll probably flock back to watch Real Madrid in the Champions League just like they always do.
I have nothing but respect for this crowd; I know you guys have been through the absolute wringer. But honestly, I’ve been saying for ages that there’s only one real way out of this mess: we need a radical move. We need to get Real Madrid banned from European competition entirely. I mean, look at a stadium like SoFi Stadium—there are enough cameras there to monitor every single muscle twitch in real time. How on earth does anyone manage to shut down a US National Team match? Thankfully, history gave us some dark lessons on how things can go sideways, which makes the job easier, but seriously, you all need to find a solution. Wishing you the best of luck. SUZAVAC 🎉

You're wrong.
The meetup was set for two hours before kickoff, but two hours before kickoff, nobody showed up.
It was just classic American lack of discipline and punctuality where people agree on 7:00 but show up at 7:45, 8:00, or 8:15... they grab a beer first and then roll up to the meeting spot thirty minutes before the game expecting everyone to have a perfect plan ready to go.
Most people didn't even have tickets because they were being "smart" and waiting to see how things played out, so the line was long as hell, like a massive traffic jam on I-95.
People can talk all the trash they want now that the dust has settled, but in the moment, from what I saw, making a call wasn't easy. Opinions were split, people were arguing, and we ultimately decided it was better to skip it than to let 300 people rush the stands.
If all those geniuses who showed up late—which is basically life, isn't it? Late for school, late for work... that's why we are where we are—had actually been on time, there would've been enough time to buy tickets, check the blacklist, and we could've had a crowd of maybe 1,000 to 1,200 people in the North Stand.

From what I managed to see and hear, deciding not to go was the least bad option available.
Maybe this should be a lesson for the future: if we say 7:00 PM at the pub, that doesn't mean showing up at 7:59 at Starbucks, Dunkin', or wherever... you show up at 7:00, or maybe half an hour early.
Anyone seeing conspiracy theories or some deep plot in this is just hallucinating.
Next time, everyone just shows up on time and we'll see how it goes.

What happened was a classic case of chronic American lack of punctuality and organization. People agree to meet at 7:00, then they drift in at 7:45, 8:00, or 8:15... They sit in a bar first, and then show up at the designated meeting spot thirty minutes before the game starts expecting someone else to have a perfectly executed plan ready to go.
Most people didn't even have tickets because they were being "smart" and waiting to see how things played out, so the line was as long as a stretch of I-95.
People can play armchair quarterback all they want now that the battle is over, but from what I saw, making a call wasn't easy. Opinions were split, debates broke out, and we ultimately decided it was better to stay back than to let 300 disorganized people flood the stands.
If all those geniuses who were running late—which seems to be a way of life, honestly; people are late to school, late to work... which explains exactly why this country is where it is—had actually arrived on time, there would have been enough time to buy tickets, check the blacklist, and we could have had a decent crowd of maybe 1,000 to 1,200 people in the North stands.

From my perspective, the decision to pull back was the least bad option available.
Perhaps this situation should serve as a lesson for the future: when we say 7:00 PM at the diner, that doesn't mean showing up at 7:59 PM at Starbucks, Dunkin', or whatever... It means being there at 7:00, or at the very latest, half an hour before the meeting time.
Anyone seeing conspiracy theories or some deep-seated ulterior motive in this is clearly hallucinating.
Next time, if everyone actually shows up on time, we'll see how it goes.

I believe that’s the truth, everything you just said, but again, I maintain that there's no need to lie to people for no reason. Personally, I found it incredibly frustrating.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the only people getting sidelined during these national team matches are the fans, whether they're at home or traveling. Does that sound familiar?
I don't know how anyone imagined that UEFA, working hand-in-hand with major corporate sponsors, would ever care about anything other than catering to the demands of the anti-fan activists.
