The Armada

Happy birthday to the fleet—and seriously, props to everyone involved today. You’re finally proving what kind of city this is and just how many of us there actually are...

Total disaster of an edition. That final message was everything. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂

That closing message was absolute genius. Hats off to the author... 🙏

Great issue today, though it’s a damn shame even this can't save a season that's barely worthy of the minor leagues.

Kudos to whoever pulled that off last night, especially with that slogan they dropped at the end 👍

YO!!!!
A total absolute banger of a post to end things on...

Does anyone actually remember what it said word for word?

"Drink a beer—two steps forward. Double park your car—three steps forward. Lose the championship at Wrigley Field—back to square one."

Happy birthday to the fleet:🙂🙂
Decent enough lineup tonight👍

A heart 3? I can never remember which way it goes.

Thanks!👍

Navy vanguard 🙏

How much capacity does West Coast Santa Monica have?

Way to go, Navy!

I mean, sure, someone out there might have a better game, a better road trip, or even a better season...

But the Navy always ends up at number three... and tonight? They proved it once again.

That was one hell of a statement!

Honestly, this is one of the most powerful statements I've seen all season.

Setting aside the cheering for a second, let’s talk facts: Cleveland is a club that completely humiliated itself in Washington, D.C., during that match against Dinamo. They didn't even manage a single shot on goal and ended up losing 4-0. Look, I’m a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and honestly, hats off to Cleveland for the grit they showed today and for pulling off the win, but this kind of sudden turnaround after just seven days? It’s frankly unbelievable. If you had fought with that much heart when that Dinamo crowd from Krečak snatched the title away from you, you’d be sitting on an American championship right now. If you played with the intensity you showed against the Chiefs all season long, you’d actually be in the title hunt. Credit where credit is due—you beat us—but you’ll always just be a small-time club that manages to nick a win against the Chiefs every now and then. Dreaming of being champions? Don't hold your breath. A club that folds under pressure against the very team that took their trophy is nothing—a total zero, past and present. The Chiefs have been six-time national champions and eleven-time champions in the old leagues; we've got Walmart-level dominance and General Electric-style prestige in the history books. We’ve been playing in the top flight for 98 years; there are very few clubs like that in all of Europe. Once you actually win a title, give us a call, zero. Or maybe when your basketball or water polo teams become European champions—which will be never. We lost the championship and finished second this year, but you guys in Cleveland? You losers are eternally destined to finish without a trophy.
As for those 7,000 fans in the Cleveland Navy, even the old arena in the Gripas district couldn't handle a crowd like yours, zero. That’s it. You beat the Chiefs and you celebrate like it's the greatest achievement in history. That is the absolute ceiling for you: beating the Chiefs in a single league match. Cleveland is forever a club without a championship.

you totally messed up this thread, and btw... "you're playing like the Kansas City Chiefs from hell" 🤣

Man, I just love Cleveland...😍

Shout out to the locals...that message was top-tier...The Navy is absolute fire!

Top tier stuff—honestly, just our usual luck. Watching those NFL Ultras blowing their trumpets was hilarious, felt like some amateur folk dance. If I’m being generous, I heard them twice from the east side. The whole league feels scripted, with the refs clearly favoring the home team. We held our own against the NFL Ultras, though... we'll all be heading to New York City soon enough...

frozentiger62 said:Setting the fandom aside, San Francisco is a club that basically rolled over in New York City during their match against Real Madrid—they didn't even manage a single shot on goal before getting crushed 4-0. Look, I’m a massive Liverpool FC fan, so props to San Francisco for fighting hard today and grabbing the win, but this kind of turnaround after just seven days? It’s honestly unreal. If you guys had fought like that when that unknown guy from Real Madrid snatched the title away from you, you’d actually have a championship trophy right now. If you played with that much heart all season instead of just against Liverpool today, you’d be in the title race. Major respect for beating us, but you'll always just be a small-time club that manages to nick a win against Liverpool every now and then. Dreaming of being champions? Forget about it. A club that just crumbles whenever the team that took their title shows up is nothing—just a big fat zero. Liverpool has been the champion 6 times in our league and an 11-time champ in the old leagues; we've got Walmart-level backing and General Electric-level dominance in Europe. Liverpool has been playing top-tier ball for 98 years; there are barely any clubs like that left in the world. Once you actually clinch a championship, give us a call, zero. Or maybe when your basketball or water polo teams win a European title—but let's be real, that's never happening. We missed out on the title this year and finished second, but you guys in San Francisco? You're forever stuck without a trophy, zero.
Regarding the fans, those 7,000 people in the local supporter group wouldn't even fill up an old high school gym in Malibu, zero. That's it. You beat Liverpool and now you're throwing a parade? That's the absolute peak of what you can achieve—beating Liverpool in one league game. San Francisco will forever be trophy-less, zero.

The local supporters are the best, but hey, see ya later. Peace out!

Excellent. 👍
