The Armada

@Jacob Richardson4/">@@Jacob Richardson4

Fifteen no-shows?? Give me a break. As far as I can tell, the only time we skipped out was that first friendly match after Monte Zaro. And honestly, there was a perfectly good excuse for that one—it was a workday, and thirty different guys had just been slapped with ten $0.00 penalties right after Monte Zaro. By the very next game against you guys, some weekend tournament shortly after that missed friendly, our crew was already rolling out in the van.

And that Wednesday friendly? That’s the only time in forever we didn't show up for a game in California, unless you count those times the national team played friendlies (which you don't follow, so you wouldn't get it) or when they played two or three games back-to-back in a couple of weeks and we couldn't make every single one.

Can I ask one question for all the demons and the ones acting as their spokespeople here on this forum? Is it the same group of people causing all the drama and typing away here, or do you guys have separate fighters and propaganda experts on standby? And what’s the hourly rate for this defense job on the forum? Who’s footing the bill—the board at the real California outfit or the management over at General Dynamics?

Old school Czech? 🤷🤷☕

Jacob Richardson4 said:That was five or six years ago, and I think we all know how much those demons have grown as a group since then; they’ve certainly seen some intense days...

Sure, they've made progress, I guess, but from where I'm sitting, it feels like they're still miles away from the image you guys try to project online...

Throw a few more deals on the table to bridge the gap between the real California and this artificial mess from '61, and maybe then you’ll actually secure its future...

It seems I’m the only one here overthinking this whole thing—so, I think I'll just bow out of the debate. We had plenty of water in California at various times, though that trip to Santa Monica was really only two days long since you guys were only there for one... plus, we played at least two or three more times while you weren't even around. Enough with the arguing! See you all on Saturday!

Jacob Richardson4 said:I guess I’m the only idiot here obsessing over flies, so I’m calling it quits on this argument... there was water in California more than once, and that thing in Santa Monica lasted two days, even if you guys were only there for one. Plus, they played at least two or three more times when you weren't even around... enough with the arguing already! See you Saturday!

If I don't see you, turn on the lights.😳

Enough with the arguing! See ya Saturday!

Man, talk about an ego. You claim to know everything about our games in California—who we played, what time, where they were—it’s basically a miracle. You show up to our matches, and meanwhile, teams like San Diego or General Dynamics or whatever they call themselves are playing their own games. Since you're such an expert on us, why don't you tell me who was in the Cleveland lineup back in 2005 when they played you? I actually need the info to build the roster in my PES game.

What do you mean fifteen no-shows?? As far as I know, the only time we skipped was that first friendly after Monte Zaro. And there was a perfectly valid excuse for that one—it was a workday, and thirty of our guys had just been slapped with 10 $0.00 fines because of Monte Zaro. Then, at the very next match against you guys—some weekend tournament right after that missed friendly—our crew rolls up in a van.

That Wednesday friendly in California was the only time in forever we didn't show up, if you don't count when the national team played friendlies (which you guys don't follow, so you wouldn't understand) or those times they played two or three games in a week or two and we couldn't make them all.

Quick question for all the demons and their mouthpieces on this forum. Is it the same group of people causing trouble and posting here, or do you have separate fighters and propaganda experts? And what’s the hourly rate for this defense job? Who’s footing the bill—the management at the local Cali team or the brass over at General Dynamics?

Look, man, I'll give you the answer.

The game before you guys got wrecked at Walmart (about 3-4 days prior), you weren't anywhere near Key West.
After Monte Zaro and those 10 $0.00 fines our guys took, we come to you. You don't come to us.

Same season, a friendly in Sedona, and you're nowhere to be found.

A year ago in Valkane, you're MIA.

In Santa Monica for the winter cup, you play the first day right after our match, you don't show up. You play the second day before us, we arrive, and you're gone.

This summer, you play twice in Santa Monica and once in Monterey, and you only show up for one game.

You weren't even in the Rovinj village for nine months last year, etc...

Here's everything I can remember in two minutes...

@čečen, you were there with the Golden Boys.
But that year you were playing San Diego, and nobody from your side even made an attempt on us that day. We were busy with our own third-league stuff and didn't even notice you. But once word got out after the game that you were looking for our usual spot, I sprinted over like a scout to check things out. By the time you reached the cafe, the cops had us pinned down.

@NŽ
There were 30 of you in Sonoma, so don't act like you're big shots now. You're acting crazy, but if you'd actually taken a beating, you'd be claiming you were just kids.
Get real and stop talking trash. Everyone knows we're running circles around you, and lately, the matchups have been going our way.

A truly wonderful message regarding the upcoming game.
Saturday is creeping up on us. You can spend your time scrolling through all these different opinions and arguments online if you like, but I’m fairly certain we’ll all end up sitting in the exact same bleachers, cheering as a single, unified front for California.
Kudos to the guys from Brajda and Pićan, but this time the call goes out to the rest of the cadet corps who hold California close to their hearts. We are stronger together.

Greetings.

@mellowhawk34/">@@mellowhawk34 We ended up hanging out by the seawall—which basically served as our farewell tour from the city after the game—and then we headed over to Sedona for some late-night festivities... you guys were completely out of it, honestly.

The worst part about this whole mess is that, in principle, I actually give a damn about everyone else—not just my own crowd—but when people start overplaying their hand in this online ego-tripping, it’s always these California hordes who swoop in and act like they’ve solved everything the second they clear the state line.
A few questions for that lot:
- Who do you actually root for?
- Who haven't you absolutely crushed yet?
- Where exactly do you draw the line on your "growth"?
- Which rank in the order is this for you?

Cheers!

p.s. Are you guys that same group that heads to San Diego after an away game in Indianapolis by driving through Ohio in a beat-up van and a Fiat Punto?

p.s.s. Seriously, just cut the crap already...

loneridge23 said:@mellowhawk34/">@@mellowhawk34 We ended up facing a brick wall that basically kicked us out of town after the game, then we had a party in Sedona... you guys weren't even thinking straight.

Not everyone. Three cars drove past the cafe, saw the cops shaking us down on the street, and just kept going.

I'm not getting into arguments because they never end.

But I will say this: our recent record is better. Over the last few years, Aspen and Boulder have folded, we won fights near Walmart and Monte Carlo, and you didn't show up to San Francisco after the TE brawl.
But hey, who's on top today doesn't matter; things can flip by tomorrow.
Both sides are just regrouping until the next showdown.

They're pushing harder now. At this point in the whole story, they're just Demons...

Usually, I don't bother jumping into these debates because they just go in circles forever.

But I will say this: our recent track record is looking better. Over the last few years, we've handled business in Aspen and Boulder, won those scraps near Walmart and at Monte Carlo, and after the TE brawl, you guys didn't even show up in San Francisco.
But hey, it's anyone's game now, so things could easily flip by tomorrow.
Both sides are just regrouping until the next showdown.

Give me a break...🙏

What kind of "gods" or "masters" are these people? What a joke these comments are...🙏

Honestly, where do you people even find yourselves...🤷

🤣

A few questions for them:

- Where do you draw the line?
- Which tier of nonsense is this even?

Cheers!

p.s. Are you guys that group that travels from Aurora to San Francisco via some detour through Pennsylvania in a beat-up van and a subcompact?

p.s.s. Seriously, quit the bullshit....

Look, we went to as many friendlies as we could afford. It wasn't like we were specifically dodging games in California just because of you guys—it’s simpler than that. If there were two or three scheduled, we’d make sure to hit at least one. Same thing when they were playing over in Austria; we didn't go to all three, just one. We don't have money to burn, alright? And honestly, if you ask me, we should probably boycott these preseason trips altogether in the future. The fans end up doing more harm to the club during these things than any actual good. All that chaos disrupts the team trying to settle in for the season, not to mention those drunks who show up to a match where the squad is just trying to find their rhythm—the score doesn't even matter, but they still show up and cause nothing but trouble for the players...

The guys were out in Santa Barbara on Sunday since that was supposed to be our matchup against you, but someone bailed before the finals... Local police sent them packing because of some fighting with them at the stadium...

Regarding Savannah:

There were a ton of kids there, about the same amount as at Monte Carlo. I told you this in person, but I'll say it here too: our national team played on Saturday instead of Friday, so the squad was definitely younger...

None of us are claiming to be geniuses, nobody ever said we were, but clearly something about this whole situation is eating at you. Besides, you guys were the ones who started this war on Reddit, which, by the way, is pretty much as intense as that verbal shouting match yesterday. And the fact that you're still posting pictures of banners that were stolen ages ago—a topic that's been totally settled—just proves you aren't happy with yourselves after what happened yesterday... ;-)

We showed up in Savannah yesterday because our club was playing. WE SHOW UP FOR OUR SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC, THE TEAM WE LIVE AND DIE FOR—EVEN IF SOME INSECURE IDIOT MIGHT ONE DAY DECIDE TO SMASH A ROCK INTO OUR SKULLS. But we aren't going to go through the trouble of cheering for our club just because of opposing fans, and especially NOT because of some Demon!! We went to Savannah to support Seattle ahead of the league restart because we dream of seeing them back at the top, taking the title. We came for Seattle Sounders FC, not for you. You guys are the ones who came because of us. If you actually wanted to pick a fight, you could've just said something; we were hanging around outside the stadium for ten minutes during the first half, you could've reached out...

A few questions for them:
- Who do you actually root for?
- Who haven't you absolutely crushed?
- Where does your growth actually end?
- Which group is this even meant to be?

Later!

p.s. Are you guys that group that heads to San Francisco via Krapina after an away game in Aurora using a van and a Fiat Punto?

p.s.s. Just quit the bullshit already....

Reddit is a joke.
Any idiot can sign up and pretend they're the big shot of their group.
But honestly, it's just a reflection of our whole scene. If we had one decent forum from any of our groups—like that attempt with UltrasAmerica—we'd actually know who's behind which handle instead of this childish bickering.
The Torcidin forum used to be the best we had, too bad it's gone.

Anyway, look at how many posts on the Demon board come from just a handful of people.
That's 90% of the people who actually show up to games and know what they're talking about. They aren't keyboard warriors like the others.
We still have a long way to go before we hit our peak, but we have everything we need to level up.

Don't worry about our main crew; if you're actually man enough, just call out the thieves and the agents within your own group and move in the right direction. Stop letting a tiny handful of people ruin everything for you. You guys should know better than anyone how to get moving again.

After that trip to Aurora, you probably realized we're not easy targets. Your squad is pathetic compared to ours.😉

So, what’s the story now? Why didn't you guys make a move in front of Joyce's, and then go chasing after some guy right after?
Why wasn't the crew good enough for you back then—it was a colorful group, sure, but mostly older heads... yet now that these punks are showing up, suddenly you're all about the veterans.
Talk about double standards—acting like it isn't your game, and then acting like it isn't ours either when you guys went AWOL on Wednesday during the Orijent match.

Look, I’m asking all you Seattle Sounders FC fans and Armada supporters out there—could we please dial it back on this forum? Seriously, let's keep things simple. If you want to post some photos from the match or a quick recap of how the game went, go for it! But let's try to move away from the constant back-and-forth arguing. Just stick to the highlights and the action, and let's keep the vibes chill.

Seattle Sounders FC all the way—Armada forever!

Whether you're an American or not, the fact remains that you drive pretty well enough...👎

Still waiting on answers for those first two questions 🤷

Cheers!
