The Armada

Sure, sure... your version of the "truth" is just so incredibly important... 🤣

Today’s lineup for the folks in the stands🙏

Respect to both sides today; any kind of excitement is a win for our sleepy local scene. Honestly, though, when the Armada is at full strength, the demons don't stand a chance. I know the usual crowd will start their nonsense again—kissing up to Armada and the boys—but I’m staying pretty neutral here because, frankly, I couldn't care less about either side. That’s just my take: Armada will always be a cornerstone of our scene, regardless of whatever crises they run into. I mean, we and the boys have been trading that top two spot for the last decade. 😁 In any case, congrats to everyone involved. No hard feelings to the demons, but hey, that's just my subjective opinion. I actually have to admit, it’s great seeing groups like the demons adding some flavor to our community. It wouldn't hurt if we had a few more groups like them around. For today's matchup, a huge thumbs up to both Armada and the demons. 👍 And finally, I just want to see more matchups like this, regardless of who comes out on top. 😍

But let’s be real: when the Armada is at full strength, the demons don't stand a chance. I know the usual crowd will start their predictable routine again—kissing up to the Armada and the boys—but I’m staying neutral here. Honestly, I couldn't care less about either group. That’s just my take. For me, the Armada remains a pillar of this scene regardless of whatever crises they stumble through. After all, we and the Tovar gang have been trading the top two spots for the last decade. 😁 In any given scenario, congratulations are due to both sides. I realize the demons might take offense, but frankly, that’s just my subjective take on the matter. That said, I have to admit it’s refreshing to see the demons adding such flair to our local music scene. Honestly, it wouldn't be the worst thing if we had a few more groups around here operating with their level of artistry. As for today's performance? A massive thumbs down from me to both Armadi and the demons. 👍 To wrap things up, I can only express my hope that we see more matchups like this one—regardless of which side ends up claiming the win or taking the loss. 😍

Were you actually at the match? Please, if you were, give me an unbiased take on the atmosphere—the crowd energy, the choreography, all of it.

Thank you in advance.

I know the idiots will start their usual routine—kissing up to Armada and the boys—but I’m staying neutral. Honestly, I don't give a damn about either side. That's just my take. For me, Armada is always a pillar of this scene, regardless of whatever crises they hit. We and the idiots have been swapping the top two spots for the last 10 years anyway. 😁 Regardless, congrats to everyone. Demons shouldn't take it personally, but that's just my subjective opinion. Though, I have to admit, it's good to see demons adding flavor to our scene. It wouldn't hurt if we had a few more groups like them. Thumbs up to both Armada and demons for today. 👍 Finally, I hope we see more matchups like this, no matter who ends up "up" or "down" at the end. 😍

Damn, Armada spent most of this season just trying to get a roster together, while the demons were screwed by those frozen bank accounts left over from the previous management. But their youth academy and sheer grit are pulling them through. I doubt they'll be offended; they know how to handle criticism.
If the demons get their accounts unfrozen and pull together a squad with a few experienced international players, that mix of veteran skill and youth might actually kill Armada, despite how well-organized their roster is.

coppersailor8 said:LOL... what absolute liars... nobody even bothered to mention what actually went down at the Monte Zaru rally today.... HAHAHAHA....

Six squad cars were there pulling people out... they absolutely crushed about 30 demons who ended up needing an ambulance on the floor....

Ban these idiots immediately,

😍

R.A.M. 🤣

Hey, if anyone from the demon crew managed to snap some photos, could you please drop them here? I’m looking for shots of our banners, maybe a wide shot of the whole stand, or even some of those old pics from when things were getting smoky and wild...

Great shots. Hit up BAO in the DMs; he knows exactly what went down during the shoot.
Honestly, those messages had me cracking up. 👍

I was cracking up reading those messages 👍

Just like how we feel about you guys.
Personally, I thought it was awesome!
And yeah, we're total IDIOTS and DRUNKS!!🤷

Daniel Richardson said:"One person was injured and eight fans were detained following several clashes in San Francisco before the Istra 1961 vs. Seattle match at Veruda Stadium. Over at the Sisplac area near Veruda, unidentified individuals reportedly attacked a line of cars with Seattle plates. A group of Seattle supporters also targeted an Istra 1961 fan, a member of the demon, near the Rojc Multimedia Center, which triggered a chase through the streets. According to Regional Express, the heaviest fighting broke out in Navy Park during a massive brawl where the Seattle side came out on top."

The Week 11 matchup between Istra and Seattle won't be remembered for the quality of play, but rather for the nonstop violence between rival fans all day long.

An unknown group at the Sisplac site near Veruda aggressively targeted a convoy of cars with Seattle plates, per Regional Express. Later, a group of Seattle fans reportedly jumped an Istra 1961 supporter near the Rojc Multimedia Center, sparking a chaotic chase after the Seattle contingent.

The biggest clash happened in Navy Park, where the Seattle crowd apparently won the fight. One injury reported, eight arrests made. Things have quieted down since then.

Enough for the smart people... I think the situation is pretty clear.☕

Does "coming out on top" mean they got arrested or they won the fight? Are we talking about just a few scraps?

unorganized arrival downtown
trouble by Navy Park
near Monte Zaro and some tension before the game near the stadium?
then there's the stuff near Rojc—was this just some nonsense or actual chaos?🤣
and more of it on the way out too.

Peter Barrett said:Are we talking about a massive crackdown with arrests, or just some aggressive police presence? Because you guys are mentioning a bunch of different messes here...

The total chaos when people were trying to get downtown
That scuffle over by Navy Pier
Then there was the mess at Montezuma Park, plus the craziness right outside the stadium before the game even started?
And then you’ve got those random fights breaking out—is this some kind of joke or are we looking at actual riots? 🤣
Not to mention the madness happening when everyone was leaving, too.

Who was actually there to know what really went down? Half the crap written in this article is pure nonsense.

Personally, I actually quite enjoyed it!
And sure, we’re both IDIOTS and DRUNKS!!🤷

Let's be honest here—the messages from both sides were pretty pathetic. It was basically: "Those unknown people are bound to drop some profound message again, so let's just whip something up to counter them. It doesn't even matter what it says, as long as there's a rhyme at the end."
A middle schooler could have come up with better inspiration.

Peter Barrett said:Are we talking about actual arrests here, or just police presence? You mentioned several scuffles

the chaotic rush toward downtown
the mess over by Navy Pier
Monte Zaro, and then the chaos right before kickoff near the stadium?
And then there was that whole thing with the local cops—was this some kind of joke or an actual state of siege? 🤣
And that's not even counting the exit.

Pretty much a state of siege. 😁

Sean Wright5 said:If we’re being honest, the messages from both sides were pretty pathetic. It was basically: "The other guys are definitely going to drop some message, so let's just throw something together ourselves. Doesn't matter what it says, as long as it rhymes."
A third-grader could have come up with better inspiration.

🤣

Great turnout and plenty of good crowds around town, but we completely forgot our main job—cheering on and supporting our club. It didn't happen 👎

Jacob Newman74 said:Solid turnout, cool groups hanging out around town, but we totally missed the whole point—cheering on our club. We didn't step up like 👎

The crew put in some work today.
There was one massive group gathering outside the stadium, and honestly, that’s about it
Unless you count "hanging out" as some guy getting jumped near the local deli 👎
But seriously, props to everyone for that chaotic, unorganized trek into the city.
I'm just hoping the next big rivalry game is at Madison Square Garden; everything would look way more intense then, especially once we get back to our usual spot in the North Stand.

Kenneth Campbell64 said:Solid showing by the fans.
There was some chaos outside the stadium, nothing more.
If you call it chaos, I guess one guy getting jumped near the diner counts. 👎
Still, props to them for the unorganized takeover of the city.
Hopefully the next derby is at Madison Square Garden; things would look much better if we were back in the North Stand.

Oh, so you're one of those random fanatics? Is it true the group on the other side just left a guy behind to get beaten up while they all ran off?
What's the deal with the waterfront park situation? And could your lot even pose a threat to a group with seven cars and a van driving straight into downtown without a plan?
Could you guys even manage to show up?
Anyway, don't act so tough about their territory; you might get a taste of an unknown group's wrath next week. hihihihi

...honestly, our whole Seattle fleet is just a bunch of drunks and idiots!!!...we completely lost our way...hahaha
...and we won't see the next derby unless we get relegated from the league...

Peter Barrett said:Would any group of us actually pose a threat to a pack of seven cars and a van rolling into downtown completely unorganized?
Could you even get enough people together to make an impact?

Nah, there's only 12 of us. If little Frank could've made it, we'd be 13, but he couldn't—he had practice. 🤷
