The Armada

They weren't trampling this guy. Whoever you're thinking of must have been someone else. 😁 Similarly, this one wasn't really putting on a show; he was mostly lying horizontally. 😁 This guy went in intending to lift a sign from the fence under the bleachers. I doubt he was surprised when ten guys from the supposedly "peaceful" North Stand jumped the fence in a heartbeat and caught him. He didn't put on much of a show. I bet after the first kick he took, he regretted trying to act tough at the stadium. This isn't the same game I described before; there was actually more going on. 🤣🤣

Well, damn... we made a hell of a lot of noise and caused plenty of chaos, but who's actually going to keep tabs on all this mess?😁

What really stuck with me was that absolute disaster of a job they did on the fence 🙏
I mean, what the hell were they even thinking... 🤣

I mean, what the hell 🤣

🤣🤣
Needs a little more...😂

Terry Lee3 said:jebiga... we were loud, we caused a mess, who's even going to track all this...😁

I agree. You're right; I got lost in all those intense images myself.👍

man, that was the goddamn Armada era... if they actually made a comeback soon, the whole US scene would be so much damn stronger

"My city, my club," "city slickers," "it’s all about downtown"... what else have you pathetic little white stones managed to snatch away?

Oh look, here we go again. The "all-mighty" ultras are supposedly the greatest group to ever exist, and God forbid they actually admit anyone else holds a candle to them... they’re always, forever, the undisputed kings and nobody can touch them...

Yeah, I’ll admit they made a killing in the Gulf Coast😁 look😁

Man, just look at those bloodthirsty animals behind the fence (check out the guy in the white smiley shirt 🤣🤣). I’m telling you, this is an American stadium under the bleachers with a supposedly "peaceful" crowd. I don't even want to imagine what would happen to that kid if he somehow made his way toward the West. He’d be unrecognizable to his own mother. Just play it smart and stay behind the railing 🤣

Ethan Moore56 said:yeah, I admit they took over the Gulf Coast😁 exactly😁

🤣🤣 No way. This guy’s gonna claim these aren't even die-hard fans in the photos, just some casual Raiders supporters.

Let me repeat: this is the section under the bleachers, filled with a supposedly "peaceful" crowd. I don't even want to imagine what would've happened to that kid if he'd somehow wandered toward the West. Honestly, his own mother probably wouldn't have recognized him. So yeah, just be smart and stay on your side of the railing 🤣

jebiga, I get where they're coming from... that crowd (unlike the guys down by the clock tower) hasn't spent much time dealing with people who act like total jackasses... so, uh, "let's meet and exchange some standard spikes"... alright, we can pretty much ignore the whole thing about helping toss him into unconsciousness for now...😁

Ethan Moore56 said:"My city, my club," "city elites," "neighborhood pride"... what else have you miserable white stones taken from us?

The first one fell back then. There was no real chaos that time. They're still the White Angels. 😁 Our guy simply walked up to the East Stand and tore them down from the fence. As for those other banners you mentioned, I’m not even sure if they were ever in our hands to begin with. Either way, they learned their lesson—don't show up to a stadium with banners unless you want to lose them. After that game at the stadium, whether it was against the Lakers or the Celtics, every single banner on the East Stand had been moved to the inside of the fence. Coincidence or fear? That's the question.

Seattle Sounders vs. LA Galaxy 2-1, December 13, 1998

"It’s getting intense—the Seattle fans are closing in on the goal, right near the section where the local ultras are fuming. Suddenly, about ten of them storm the pitch to clash with the traveling supporters from LA. Meanwhile, the rest of the home crowd is practically kicking and punching at the perimeter fence, trying to tear the whole thing down (it's actually easier for the LA crew to jump the field since their section doesn't have that heavy-duty barbed wire blocking the East Stand). Eventually, about 30 riot police show up and force the LA group back toward the stands. About 15 minutes after the final whistle, almost everyone has cleared out of the stadium, except for the locals who are still waiting for security to let them leave. At one point, one guy leaps over the fence and sprints toward the West Stand, where the LA fans snatch two banners off the railing, before he turns around and hurls them back toward the East side..."

Are these photos from that November 2nd, 2002 game? Is this the one where those guys from the local gang beat that kid from the rival supporters group to death?

The visitors will soon approach the goal, right near the Torcida section, which is absolutely livid. About ten of them charge onto the pitch to clash with the Armada supporters. Meanwhile, the rest of the Torcida fans are kicking and pounding at the fencing like they’re trying to tear the whole thing down—it's actually easier for the Armada crowd to storm the field since their side doesn't have that barbed wire setup like the East stands do. Eventually, about 30 SWAT officers step in and force the Armada guys back into the stands. Fifteen minutes after the final whistle, almost everyone has cleared out, except for Torcida, who are just waiting for the gates to open so they can leave. One guy leaps over the fence and sprints toward the West stand, where the Armada crew snatches two banners from the railing, before he turns around and hurls those same banners back toward the East.

Tifo number 27.

What have you been up to? Don't tell me you were digging through your closet looking for old Tifo jerseys. Well, a real fan doesn't lie.
Tell me where exactly you see a barricade here. This is what the special units looked like back then. The Armada retreated once they hit the east fence; they still had to clear the perimeter to reach the stands. As for those banners, some phantom supporter snatched them down around 9:00 PM—no one saw a thing, and nobody heard a thing. You say that fan was acting crazy? Well, the Ultras were going absolutely mental, throwing everything they had at the Armada to start a fight. Looking at these photos, though, my guys look pretty static to me.

Pictures can be deceptive. Anything is possible when you're dealing with an unstoppable fan force like that. 😁

I mean, you can clearly see at least 300 Armada members out there in one of the photos. So, what exactly did they accomplish? Did they manage to take down a single local beat cop? I don't know—do you just not see the massive crowd draped over the fence? Can you not see the barbed wire? Where even is the fan club? Maybe they'll show up later during the Fourth of July parade while they're making a run for it.

Just a stupid little squabble, really—the Armada rushed onto the field right in front of the Torcida fans, but they didn't actually accomplish anything. A few Torcida guys were banging on the fences, and honestly, if anyone had tried a solo charge onto the pitch, things probably wouldn't have ended well for them—though maybe there were more than just a couple of them out there, who knows? Just the usual chaos...

And tell me, please, those 30 or so special forces guys—are they the ones in the blue uniforms or the red ones?

You're missing the point. Armada did what they had to do.
The mindset here is unbelievable. I'm done. 🤣🤣🙂
