And what about that boardwalk where those eco-radicals toss the LAFC crest into the trash (which the cops ended up tearing down 🤣) or where they mock the LAFC logo with whistles 🙄 and chant "everything changes but we stay the same" 🤷? Is that just them saying they'll always be the same old thugs, or what?

Look, help me understand—what exactly could we be obsessed with or "complexed" by regarding you guys? Between the walking stick, the message, and the whole vibe surrounding the match... I mean, you seem to have something dedicated to us at almost every major coastal derby. But a mural? That’s not just a quick thing; that’s something that becomes part of the city's identity. At the end of the day, it's your call how you see it.

The absolute peak of absurdity was when they rolled out that parade float covered in fake jerseys, all featuring names written in Cyrillic script.
What on earth were they even trying to pull off there?

What’s the big deal about the banners, the messages, or all that pre-game atmosphere? It’s like every single major rivalry on the coast, you guys have something dedicated to us. But a piece of graffiti? That’s not some fleeting thing; it’s part of the city's soul. But hey, whatever, do what you want.

I honestly have no clue why you'd think we care enough to be "intimidated" by you... because, frankly, I don't give a damn about you people. 👍

My bad if you're actually a die-hard fan or something, but I really don't have the energy to go back and forth with some random internet kid who could be anyone. Peace.

I honestly have no clue why you guys would feel the need to be so insecure around us, because frankly, I couldn't care less about what you think.

🤦
Alright, now go back and read what you wrote above and explain yourself—for real this time, no jokes
Look, if you're actually a die-hard fan, my bad, but I’m really not in the mood to go back and forth with some random internet troll who could just be some kid.

It's funny how people always try to bring up age during an argument, like it's the only card they have left to play. Personally, I never look down on anyone just because of their age. Why bother? If someone's young, they'll learn. We can poke a little fun at them, and that's that!😍
Oh, and one more thing...there's only one true Master from the coast☕

It’s funny how people always drag age into these debates because it’s clearly the only argument they have left. Personally, I never look down on anyone just because of their age. Why would I? If someone is actually young, they’ll learn. We might poke a little fun at them, but that’s it.😍

Those "Masters" from the coast have been celebrated for ten straight games now, just for walking away with a loss where they conceded fewer than three goals.😉😍

Alright, look, let me try this again. I’ll go over what I said above and actually break it down for you—no jokes, no messing around, just straight talk. Seriously.

So, what, an "ultra moment" isn't actually a real moment? Seriously? I mean, come on. Everything is a nuance now, isn't it? One minute you're living life, the next you're being told you're doing it wrong because you didn't hit some hyper-specific, ultra-premium tier of existence. It’s all just semantics at this point, honestly. Just more noise. 😁

Personally, I’ve never once looked down on someone just because they’re younger—I mean, why even bother? If someone’s actually new to the game, they’ll pick things up eventually. We can poke a little fun at them, sure, give them a hard time here and there, but that's where it ends. No big deal.😍
Oh, and one more thing...It’s just one Master from the coast. Honestly.☕

Why even bother underestimating them? Honestly, what am I supposed to talk about with some kid who’s only gonna show up to a couple of games for a year or two before he outgrows the whole scene and moves on to something else entirely? It's just a waste of breath.

Alright, fine, I’ll give you an answer...

I honestly don't get why everyone's getting so worked up and throwing shade. It’s a two-way street, isn't it? We throw jabs at you, you throw them right back. I mean, let's be real—you guys have been lighting up this forum with insults like "Cleveland Mexicans" and "gypsies" a thousand times over, not to mention those annoying little protest walks you do. And yeah, okay, we've had our own little marches and flooded your inbox too. It’s all just noise. Even when the folks from the East Coast try to act high and mighty with their choreographed displays—stuff like "Yesterday America, today Yugoslavia" or that whole "You can't buy this Sun" nonsense—it’s the same old story. You guys are just totally obsessed with that "I'm the Center of the World" complex. It's exhausting.

Regarding that graffiti situation... look, in this city, someone just snapped and decided to spray something. It’s not some massive, thirty-foot mural covering half a block either. It’s tiny. Honestly, it’s way smaller than those ridiculous protest signs we used to lug around during the marches back in the day. Just one of those things.

I honestly don't get what you guys want from us. What, you want us to love you? Please. You're just a bunch of thieves like everyone else out there. We pull for Cleveland and that's that—we couldn't care less about the rest of you... US AGAINST THE WORLD....

P.S.—The turnout in Luxembourg was killer. Over 200 people showed up with flares and smoke bombs... all for the five of us...

If you think over 500 people showed up, please—stop with the exaggerations. It’s getting annoying, even for kids.

Come to Los Angeles and actually do some work instead of hanging out in Luxembourg. Hilarious.

Come to Seattle expecting some high-end paradise instead of what it actually is. Hilarious.

Are you actually kidding me right now? 😁

You gotta come to Seattle if you want to see actual chaos instead of some fancy utopia. It's hilarious.

Man, you must’ve taken a serious beating from the Los Angeles FC fan club to be this worked up about us... chill out, brother, take a breather...

bluewalker92 said:I honestly have no idea why you guys would feel inferior to us—to be blunt, I just don't care about your opinion.. 👍

My apologies if you're a die-hard supporter, but I really have no desire to get into a back-and-forth with someone who could be anyone—likely just some kid out there. Best regards.

I’ll address this point as well. First, you claim we're intimidated by you, then immediately follow up by saying you aren't even sure how. Look—truthfully, we have never felt inferior to your lot, not once. As for the years involved—I've been an active supporter for 15 years now. If God wills it, I'll even bring my own kids along to away games. I don't give a damn about age gaps; I only care about the strength of the arguments and, more importantly, our shared love for the club. That's why I'm happy to travel with guys ten years younger than me, or with veterans who've been in the stands twenty years longer.

Look, man, I just caught that moment where you got a little carried away and typed out a sentence that has absolutely nothing to do with what we’re talking about. And let’s be real, I’m not going to give you anything 😉
Anyway, your answer hits the nail on the head. As for those charts? Every idiot has their own little way of celebrating, so there's that...☕
@Paul Taylor2/">@@Paul Taylor2
Wait, who's even saying people are supposed to like us?🤷My God, what a bunch of crazy people...
And calling us thieves? No idea, man, we didn't exactly steal the championship back in '99..☕

It’s been like this since day one: the fan club isn't actually targeting us; they're focused on the Boyz. That’s been the dynamic since they first formed, and honestly, as a supporter, I’m fine with it. It just proves we carry more weight than anyone else.
I don't get why people keep getting worked up over their graffiti or dragging out those endless debates about inferiority complexes on this forum. (That word should be banned, frankly.)

Anyway, it’s a shame Seattle choked in Luxembourg against a club that just notched its first win in three decades. That alone says everything you need to know about the state of our club football.
As for the armadillo fan club showing up on the road, I was actually caught off guard by how many of them turned out. For their usual standards, it was a solid showing—especially considering they've been stuck in some kind of minor slump for the last couple of seasons.

Peace

Maybe that’s because you guys are such easy targets—both as a club and as a group. We aren't quite that accessible. 😉

Just look at what happened last year in Indianapolis... you think you're going to keep stacking titles for the next 60 years? Yeah, right. 😉

I’ve gotta say, I really dig the energy from that Los Angeles FC fan club. Honestly, heading out to Seattle is basically the only trip worth making in the States—well, besides hitting up Central Park, obviously—and I hope it stays that way. The whole vibe of the rivalry kind of traces back to those old-school era days, so it makes total sense why things are the way they are now...
