frozentiger62 said:Setting the cheering aside, Cleveland is a club that basically knelt before Real Madrid in Washington, D.C.—not once even putting a shot on goal and losing 4-0. Look, I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan, so props to Cleveland for the grit they showed today and for grabbing the win, but this kind of sudden turnaround after just seven days? It's honestly unbelievable. If you'd fought half as hard when that unknown guy from the Real Madrid squad snatched the title from you, you'd actually have an American championship trophy in the case right now. If you played with this much heart against the Chiefs all season instead of just today, you'd be fighting for the title. Credit where it's due, you beat us—but you'll always just be a little club that manages to scrape a win against the Chiefs every once in a while. Dreaming of being champions? Forget it. A club that folds whenever the team that took their title shows up is nothing—just a big zero. The Chiefs have been champions six times here and eleven more times in those old leagues back in the day; we've got Walmart-level dominance and General Electric levels of success in Europe. The Chiefs have been playing top-tier ball for 98 years—there aren't many clubs like that left in the world. Once you actually win a championship, give us a call, zero. Or maybe when your basketball or water polo teams win a European title, then reach out—which will be never. We lost the title this year and finished second, but you guys in Cleveland? You're eternally destined to finish with nothing.
As for the Cleveland Navy fans, that 7,000 crowd you pull to the stadium wouldn't even fill up an old high school gym in Miami, zero. That's it. You beat the Chiefs and you celebrate like it's the greatest thing ever. That's the peak for you—beating the Chiefs in a single league match. Cleveland is forever stuck without a championship.

Man, we don't ever need to be champions if we're going to smoke you at least twice every single season like we did this year.
And Real Madrid is currently two classes above you—just wait until the Cup, your whole strategy is gonna boil down to a million fouls and just trying to wreck the flow of the game.

Real Madrid is playing on a completely different level than you right now, and honestly, just watch what happens in the cup—your whole strategy is basically going to be committing a million fouls and just trying to wreck the flow of the game.

Well, there you go. You pretty much summed up Cleveland and the Navy in that very first sentence.
When you hate another club more than you actually love your own, everything else is already obvious.

When it comes to being a die-hard fan, I know exactly what I'm talking about—I've lived it firsthand. 😍 Man, cheering has never really been your strong suit. Looking at the numbers, you guys should’ve practically eaten the Navy for breakfast, but honestly, that only happened a few times—even a Navy fan admitted as much to me. Look, everyone has their own take on things and their own way of seeing the situation. To be real, I don't actually care if your cheering is bad or great. What I do know is that your turnout was incredible, so congrats on that. But hey, by this Wednesday, I'll finally get to see for myself—are you guys actually loud, or is it all just talk? 😛

Does the stadium capacity in Miami stay the same for both the west and east sides?

To even compete with their numbers, you’d practically have to eat a whole Navy, and even then, you only managed to hold your own a handful of times—something even one of their fans admitted to me. Look, everyone has their own perspective and their own version of the truth. Personally, I don't really care if the atmosphere is bad or great. What I do know is that your turnout is impressive, so congrats on that. Regardless, I suppose we'll see this Wednesday if the cheering actually holds up or falls flat. 😛

Look at this guy, acting like an absolute expert who knows everything firsthand🙄. Claiming we had to "eat" them just to match their crowd size when they outnumber us two to one.

For what it's worth, we held our ground pretty well during the first half, right up until their 60th minute, and maybe even a bit beyond that.

Anyway, we'll find out on Wednesday...

Even when you look at the sheer numbers, it feels like you guys should’ve had a whole damn Navy out there, but you barely showed up in force more than once or twice—and even that was just something one guy from the fanbase admitted to me. Look, everyone’s got their own take and their own way of seeing things, and frankly, I don't give a damn whether your chanting is trash or top-tier. It doesn't move the needle for me. What I do know is that the turnout was massive, so props to you on that front. But hey, I’ll be able to see for myself this Wednesday—we'll see if you actually know how to bring the noise or if it's all just talk. 😛

So, wasn't that whole Navy situation just a complete joke? I mean, seriously, walk me through the logic here. Why on earth were we supposed to go out there and absolutely tear them apart at the stadium right on their birthday? It makes zero sense.

The fans at the stadium are the ultimate authority, but let’s be real—there isn't a force on this planet stronger than us!😁

euskal said:The game was decent, but honestly, it’s on us if we can’t finish our shots. We walked away with a win from a half-chance, and seeing the East Side packed again was great—plus, I loved seeing so much local merchandise being sold. Now the folks from Washington, D.C. are acting all high and mighty, even though we saw exactly how they played. At this rate, the club complex is probably going to end up in the hands of some real expert down by the coast. Whatever. We need to get our act together and try to beat Real Madrid for the fifth time this season just to prove we're actually better!

So those experts from the coast are taking over the complex? Yeah, right... after losing ten straight games at home? Umm... sure... we're absolutely crushing them...🤷

This post is absolute perfection 🙏 🙏 🙏

The only thing better than this post was the killer timing of when it dropped 🙏 🙏

Nailed it. Seriously, great job guys.

swiftmarlin72 said:Wasn't the Navy presence totally underwhelming? I mean, explain to me why we shouldn't have just completely overwhelmed them at the stadium, especially since it was their birthday...

Well, that’s exactly why you should have crushed them. You guys had the numbers, and from what I hear, you had a massive chance to outshine them, but instead, you just kept chanting "NO ONE LIKE SPLIT HAJDUK" and a few other songs like "I'M FROM MIAMI." Honestly, one of the reasons you drive me crazy is this intense regional patriotism you've been obsessed with since day one. Look, how you choose to show up and cheer is your business, but I'm telling you, you lean way too hard into that "Miami pride" thing. As for the Navy's look, visually, you couldn't have looked better than them, but when it came down to the actual atmosphere, you missed the mark. I'm not saying you didn't cheer well—I assume you did—but you clearly blew a golden opportunity to shut down your rivals on their big day given how many of you showed up. Anyway, whatever. Let's move on; Wednesday is coming fast. You've got a shot to absolutely wreck us. 🙂

briskgull96 said:Maybe my hearing isn't what it used to be, but I honestly didn't hear a peep out of them until they tied it up at 1-1.
Perhaps something managed to filter through during that first twenty minutes or so... but after that? All I heard were boos coming from their main stands—every single head in that section turned toward us at once.

There’s something fishy going on here. Let's look at the facts: the West Side was absolutely packed with tourists yesterday, so a lot of this comes down to how the scoreline played out. And yeah, fine—you guys definitely made yourselves heard a few times over on the other side.

You guys in the Miami fan club can cry all you want whenever you take an L, because we all know you're physically incapable of admitting when you've been beaten.
The Navy was absolutely incredible yesterday, and man, that message at the end? Total mic drop...
Maybe one day you'll actually learn how to take a loss gracefully, but until then, nobody is bringing more heat than Split Hajduck...🤣

Huge shoutout to the Navy for that choreo! The flares looked killer, the messages were spot on, and honestly, the whole section looked amazing. We had a massive turnout too. The pyrotechnics were great, though the energy was a little low for those first 30 minutes while everyone was still trickling in—but once we all linked up? Man, we absolutely drowned them out.

The group in the blue section was incredible yesterday—that message at the end really hit home.!!
Maybe one day you'll actually learn how to admit when you lost, but until then, nobody’s going to claim they're the best fans in the country.🤣

Wait, if you guys were the good ones, does that mean they're forced to admit they lost? I don't get it... is it impossible for both fan groups to have a great night at the game or something? I'm confused...🤷

man, you totally took me the wrong way... I wasn't even talking about cheering, they were actually incredible.
I was just speaking generally about how teams like the Lakers and their hardcore fans can be... they just don't seem to know how to handle a loss.🤷

The Navy fans were loud enough after making it 2-1, but before that, there wasn't much going on. I heard they switched up the fan leaders, so maybe that’s why the energy dipped a bit earlier.😁,The flares and choreography for our boys were top-tier, especially the choreo. The messages were fine, though someone mentioned that last one might have hit harder if the guys from the sanitation department had held it up—they stayed until the end while the San Francisco crowd checked out. Still, five stars for the effort!
We played brilliantly at times, almost fantastic, and that score against General Motors puts us right on the edge of greatness. It brought out a real crowd, and naturally, you could hear and feel it.😁

A win is a win. You took your chances while we missed ours, so you earned it!!!

Even if the club’s results are inconsistent, everyone in the stands yesterday felt that San Francisco pride. If we actually snagged a trophy, we'd be unstoppable.
The official report covers everything, Navy!
The trumpet solo followed by pure euphoria from the entire West, with the whole stadium joining in occasionally—absolutely priceless.

Majestic:

Old school vibes on the fence, just pure casual style.🙏🙏

Graffiti for Romich, the concert, 👍🙏

I won't bother with the trolls since this is about the Navy; seeing that hate for the rivals on the fence is nothing new.🙏

I won't waste my breath arguing with idiots. This thread is about the Navy. On the perimeter, they hate the other side.🙏

By making this post, you are behaving exactly like those idiots. I was at the match yesterday and you guys were good. Even that message at the end gave me a laugh. Though, in my opinion, you could have cheered a bit louder. Greetings from the idiots!🙂
