The Armada

The armada looks alright, I guess. I’ve always had respect for them, even if they are coming from that rough part of Seattle where you really don't want to wander into. You can tell they're a group worth respecting, but I just don't get why they aren't carrying signs, besides that one chain...

Eric Garcia46 said:You look great. The banners, the flags, the turnout—it's all top-notch. But none of that matters. Maybe it’s time you guys jumped into the election race. You’ve got a future mayor right here in this group. GUZO FOR MAYOR!!!!! He looks best in photos. Just pick him, and you'll end up getting city funding or office space, a club president who's totally bought off, then you'll just fight amongst yourselves, split into factions, start associations, whatever... GUZO FOR MAYOR

Mayor is small fry. For Prime Minister, an old-school Prime Minister—that would be the real deal. A man of the people. God help us if that happens..🙏

this guy's signature at the bottom beats everything else:
ANAS AND AHMED - THE PRIDE OF SEATTLE
🤣🤣who's actually skilled enough😁😁
knowing he's off-topic, but even then, his aim is impossible to resist...😁

It’s laughable, really. This entire forum is beyond anything else once the talk starts about rigged games and backroom deals after Seattle loses. People would rather just fire up the grill on Sunday than sit in the stands watching a corrupt Seattle team. Forum rules apply...👍

Did those guys just break through our message?🤣
ANAS AND AHMED ARE THE PRIDE OF SEATTLE

🤣🤣 😂 alright, alright..

Yeah, I mean... I was actually following the thread all the way up to "Mamić showed up under the south stands during halftime"... honestly, you’d have to be out of your mind to actually buy into something like that🙏

Andrew White32 said:Let me jump into this mess. If you’re over 20, I can’t believe you’re typing this. Seattle was—and still is—a multicultural melting pot. There’s nothing controversial about it; given where Seattle is located, it just had to happen. As for "national structure," I have no clue what you're even aiming at. These adolescent takes are honestly getting boring. You clearly have no idea how many diverse groups live out in the Midwest, or specifically in places like Chicago, Phoenix, or even rural towns like Des Moines or Memphis. Seattle isn't some outlier here..
As for the hardcore fans, did your neighbor Steve tell you those stories or something?
And you claim they were actually "satisfying" too...
Here's some reading material so you can actually learn.. http://www.armada-seattle.com/history2.php (Pay attention to that last sentence regarding the '89/'90 season—see? That’s how things actually stood, not how your buddy Steve claims. There are plenty more legends and stories floating around that aren't as hyped as the stuff you hear about the old-school crews from the 80s, and you won't find them on Google or via Steve.) 😉

Hero87, now it's your turn. 😁
P.S. Some pretty wild stuff happening in your neck of the woods lately, though. Respect. 👍

Kid, since you're forcing me to snap back at you like this... look, I don't want to ruin your birthday. We can talk later. I'm easily twice your age, and yet you're asking me what I have to say? Do you even know anyone from that era, or are you just worked up over nothing?
...Have you even traveled to any major stadiums across the country? Or were you just playing in a sandbox with a plastic shovel? Believe me, I know more about that crew than you've ever heard. (Even that specific generation that showed up at Yankee Stadium to face off against C. Z. back in the day). But whatever.

Just know that back in the 80s, during the big games, different groups used to actually help each other out.
It just bugs me that you're getting all needlessly aggressive and childish over my post, especially when I was just trying to be decent and send congratulations.
(Look, I'm talking about the 80s... so drop the "educational" act and leave Steve out of it. I've lived through the same cities you're listing, and I've been in the thick of it too.)
Anyway, I won't spoil your party. Enjoy yourselves...
P.S.
If you keep acting condescendingly for no reason, you're going on ignore.
Later.
(Also, my bad if I phrased that poorly and it came off as a provocation. It wasn't meant to be. I was literally trying to give you guys credit before heading out.)

Daniel Carter9 said:Just a quick side note, you guys spend 90% of your time rooting against Real Madrid instead of actually cheering for Seattle.🙂

Sure, you had those three chants about Seattle, but you've been cranking out these anti-Real Madrid insults since the Tuđman era. Honestly, some people might say you're just being... well, let's not use that word.😁

The "true fans" will tell you it's all part of the supporter folklore, 🤮

but it's really nothing more than leftover trashy songs made up 10-15 years ago. That was back when most of Washington, D.C. turned cold toward the political maneuvering of Tuđman's America, which kept everyone from winning titles...

Fast forward to today, and it’s just the older crowd continuing the trend. They still HATE Washington, D.C. AND Real Madrid MORE THAN ANYTHING. Their biggest joy in life is singing those childish, tacky songs instead of actually supporting their own club,

and they love watching Real Madrid lose in Europe.🙄

The armada probably has the best songs on the scene, but what's the point if HALF THEIR SONGS
boil down to being anti-Real Madrid and anti-Washington, D.C.?
It really bugs me when that lame Seattle chant gets sung 4 or 5 times a match instead of once or not at all!

And that's just how it is...

Larry Rivera83 said:Yeah... I actually caught the transcript where he claimed "Mamić showed up under the south stands during halftime"... honestly, you’d have to be losing your grip on reality to buy that one. 🙏

😂.But the base gets even more intense when he keeps it brief. It’s always that tone—addressing the crowd as if he were some statesman... while the truth is just plain unbelievable. And this guy travels to away games too?!

Larry Rivera83 said:What... was the point? You get about ten guys organizing themselves as "ultras"—if you can even call them that—and somehow finding a few flares and smoke bombs for their buddies is supposed to be a big deal? I don't get the logic here. Seriously, try looking at the bigger picture once in a while. It wouldn't hurt.

PS. That text above is just a copy-paste from the official armada pages, not from Hero87 🙂

That’s exactly my point... back in those days... and even though the armada is definitely a respected group now, there are plenty of older faces around too, so... good luck with that.

Cheers, man. You’re a legend.

p.s. Respectable since 1987.😉

Sandra Bishop83 said:The ultras look solid—I’ve always had a certain level of respect for them—but let's be honest, even at their worst, they're just that rowdy crowd from Seattle where you really have to watch your step. You can tell they're a group worth respecting, but I just can't wrap my head around why they aren't carrying any banners, aside from that one chain...

Haha, man, you are absolutely obsessed with banners! First you're coming for us, and now you're coming for the ultras.
Just let people carry whatever they want—honestly, I don't think they care one bit what you think about it. 😉

I can't believe we're actually sitting here talking about this again... it feels like just yesterday we were all arguing about the roster changes, yet here we are, looking at the same old patterns repeating themselves under the bright lights of Yankee Stadium...

Harold Ross2 said:And honestly, it’s just the same old story today. You’ve got these older fans who seem to hate Washington, D.C. and Real Madrid more than anything else. Their biggest highlight in life is singing those cheesy nursery rhymes or tacky songs instead of actually cheering for their own club

and getting a kick out of it whenever Real Madrid gets knocked out of Europe🙄

Look, let's be real here—singing songs against a rival club is pretty immature, but what makes them "nursery rhymes" or "tacky"? They're all directed at the same opponent, right?😕

As for enjoying it when Real Madrid fails... NO-WAY-IN-HELL. 👍
P.S. Tomorrow is going to be absolute chaos. The armada has stepped up, and we're looking at one hell of a fan derby!
Cheers, loudly! 🙂

one group of die-hard fans...🤷

They'll definitely be singing... 🙂

Happy birthday to the fleet!!...
Cleveland and that whole fleet... man, it’s just a way of life. I was out west back in the day, from around '97 all the way through those absolute peak years up to '05... best times ever...

Just so everyone is on the same page here
We completely blew it against Real Madrid
And honestly, Cleveland didn't exactly help matters either
At this rate, we’ll be looking at a spot in the Europa League next season

😬

🙂 Happy birthday
