If Seattle was more dominant, it would be better for everyone involved!

Without competition, there’s no progress!😉

John Perez13 said:It’s not just a recent thing—their fan club has been gunning for us more than they have for the boys since day one. As a fan myself, I actually love it because it means we matter more than anyone else!
I don't get why everyone gets so worked up over their graffiti or keeps dragging out these endless debates about "inferiority complexes" on this forum (honestly, we should probably ban that word altogether).

Anyway, I feel bad for Seattle losing in Luxembourg to a club that just grabbed its first win in thirty years; that pretty much sums up the state of our club football.
As for the armadillo traveling for the away game, I was genuinely shocked by how many of them showed up...

Cheers

It’s not true that you guys matter more than us, considering we’ve absolutely crushed you countless times. Our fan club might have a slightly less intense relationship with them than you do, but don't think for a second we're buddies like you seem to claim. Like I said before, there are plenty of Los Angeles FC fans living in Seattle, so naturally, it bugs them to have so many rivals right in their own backyard. I'm certain that’s a huge part of why they hate you so much. On the flip side, you guys have always been prone to whining, so that plays a role too. 👍

We’re the BBB, and things are getting wild—we'll take down anyone who doesn't love Dinamo! 😉

Our fan club might have a slightly less intense vibe with them compared to how you lot act, but don't think for a second we're out there kissing their asses like you claim. And honestly, I'll say it again—Seattle is packed with Los Angeles FC supporters, so obviously they’re going to be pissed that there's such a huge presence of rivals right in their own backyard. I'm pretty sure that's a massive part of why they hate you guys so much. Plus, let's be real, you guys have always been nothing but a bunch of whiners, which doesn't help matters. 👍

As for us, being BBB, things get wild—we're ready to tear apart anyone who isn't down with Dinamo! 😉

God...

Our group might have a slightly less intense rivalry with them than you do, but don't be under any illusions—we aren't exactly playing nice either. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of fans for the local rivals living right here in our city, and naturally, it bugs them to see so many supporters of their team roaming our streets. I am convinced that is a major driving force behind their resentment toward you. On top of that, let's face it: you guys have always been prone to complaining, which doesn't help matters. 👍

As for us, we represent the true spirit of the hardcore fans, and things get wild; anyone who isn't behind the home team is going to have a very bad day! 😉

Perhaps you should consider typing a little less? It is often better to remain silent than to clutter the thread with such nonsense...

I can't believe I'm actually looking at this again.

It’s just one of those things where you look at the evidence and realize everything we were told was a complete joke. http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8...frijeka102.jpg

Honestly, if you squint hard enough, the pattern becomes pretty obvious. It's almost funny how little people pay attention. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7...frijeka103.jpg

Maybe dial it back a bit? Honestly, saying nothing is better than just spewing nonsense...

Oh yeah? Why don't you tell me exactly where I'm being stupid, you keyboard warrior. Don't even try lecturing me on how to live my life; you big-city types always act so high and mighty on these forums. So why don't you just back off? You and your little metropolitan crowd acting all tough while pretending you're something special.

He’s gonna come after me, asking about what's going on in Cincinnati and why the fans there hate the Celtics more than the Bulls. Obviously, that last part was just a joke, but you really need a brain to get that!

So what... nobody’s saying a damn word about our version of Luxembourg, blah blah, right? You all just dodge the topic. Honestly, you’re all just trolls. Not one of you can actually come up with a single counterargument to anything I say. My grandmother used to say that, and she heard it straight from the heavens...

urbanhawk10 said:I’m gonna address this too, since you’re playing both sides—first you claim we’ve got some massive inferiority complex regarding you guys, then you turn around and say you don’t even know what we’re supposedly obsessed with. Look, seriously, we have never once been intimidated or obsessed with you people. And as for age? Man, I’ve been a die-hard fan for 15 years now. If God wills it, I’ll be hitting the road for away games with my own kids one day, but honestly, I don't give a damn about age gaps. It’s about the arguments, the debate, and just loving the club. That’s why I’ll travel with guys ten years younger than me or hang out with old-timers on the stands who are twenty years older. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, I already answered that guy from your group above, so I'm not gonna waste my breath repeating myself twice...

bluewalker92 said:Why wouldn't I look down on them? What’s the point of talking to some kid who’s gonna show up to a few games for a year or two and then grow out of it to go chase something else?

But fine, let me set the record straight...

I honestly don't get the insults. We throw provocations at you, you throw them at us. You guys have spent a thousand times more time using those ethnic slurs and all that nonsense, plus those banners you carry around. We’ve had our share of banners and messages against you too. For instance, remember those choreographies where you guys were basically saying, “yesterday USA, today Yugoslavia,” or “you can’t buy this sun”? You’re the ones suffering from that "I am the center of the world" complex.

And about that graffiti? It happened in our city. Some guy lost his mind and did it. It wasn't some massive 30 by 2-meter mural either; it was tiny, a fraction of the size of the banners we’ve both been waving around for years...

I've got this gut feeling we're gonna be freaking awesome this season, even if our club management is absolute trash...

Paul Taylor2 said:Man, you must’ve taken a serious beating from those hardcore ultras if you’re this worked up about us... chill out, dude—take a breath...


We've been ambushed plenty of times, and we always stood our ground—never once backed down from a banner or a scarf.

And don't even get me started on how much we were looking for a fight—mostly in your territory. I remember one time in San Diego when we jumped out of the van and waited for you guys on the street, but you all bolted at light speed—leaving maybe two or three of your guys bruised up. Another time, someone actually ended up in the ocean—but hey, who’s counting? Then there's the river, littered with your scarves and jerseys, or that time in Miami where people were getting patched up... honestly, where does it end?

And I can’t tell you how many times we were bracing for a fight, only for you lot to scatter like cowards the second we stepped out of the van in downtown Chicago. A few of us took hits, sure. Another time, someone ended up in the water—but let's not even go there. Meanwhile, your banners and jerseys are all over the river, and your people were getting patched up in hospitals from Ophelia to Savannah... honestly, where does it end?

It looks like Simmons' obsession has finally pushed you over the edge. What's the matter? Are you one of his little followers?🤣😂

Exactly—tell him straight up that he’s a pathological liar. What does he have to gain by lying to you? In your entire 22-year history, you guys haven't even been touched by the Rangers—never once held up a banner, never lost a single game. When we head out to Lambeau Field, we actually have to call for an escort right after leaving San Diego just to stay safe; the idea of storming your city is nothing more than a pipe dream for us. - Hans Christian Andersen crew 1987 -

I honestly don't get why you guys are always so obsessed with picking on the armada. It’s basic math: a smaller group with way fewer supporters across the country isn't going to go toe-to-toe with a massive fanbase like ours. It just makes sense—we have much more momentum and sheer numbers. It’s the same story with all the smaller groups; it’s easy to act tough and try to look cool by taking shots at them. I feel like people spend way too much time on this forum just trying to be snarky instead of actually posting something logical or intelligent.

A smaller group of supporters simply isn't going to match the sheer scale of a massive fanbase like ours. It’s just logic. When you have that kind of numbers, you have that kind of presence. I think it's the same for all the smaller groups out there; it’s always easiest to pick on them just to make yourselves look bigger than you actually are. I honestly feel like people spend way too much time on this forum trying to be snarky instead of contributing something logical or meaningful.

It’s good that you can be self-critical.😉

Man, don't make me come over there and start shouting—you're asking for trouble. I’m already on edge because those guys from the local tech hub really got me fired up today to go out and hunt down some college students. 🤣
