Kudos to the guys who stepped up... though it’s a shame they didn't go all the way and include the second half of the message too.😍

Sarah Stewart6 said:Nah, that’s not it—you guys are just the ones acting like total insecure complexes here. That’s the real deal. You’re all so wrapped up in this drama about nine losers and outcasts whose only sanctuary left is Mamić’s office that you can't do anything else besides play smartass on the internet. That's just reality. Every group has its share of people with complexes, and you guys are that little clique in our world.
Honestly, that crew doesn't even exist. There are maybe seven or eight of them, and the rest are just comic book characters under someone's protection—you know who I mean. It's a joke looking at them, but some of you kids are at such a level of brainlessness that outside of typing on the web, you don't know anything. You aren't capable of anything and have zero potential—basically, you're useless.
You can't handle making a graffiti tag, going out to protest somewhere, or coming up with a new slogan or an idea for the stands... nothing. You’re just products of this trend-driven idiocy that’s seeped into the fans, thinking you have to be informed about everything, knowing everyone and how they relate, just so you can brand yourselves. For you, the stands are just a passing phase because you don't actually get it. You’re just kids with smartphones and fancy Facebook profiles. It's because you live in this semi-virtual world instead of being out in the real world—at school, at the station, or just on the street.
And you spend all day staring at a monitor just to grab some piece of info. Because you're simply dim. Not to offend anyone, but that's just the simplest way to put it.

The Matchday 4 MLS clash played this Saturday, August 9, 2014, at City Garden at 9:00 PM, in front of about 4,000 fans—including roughly 400 members of the BBB (the hardcore supporters of Dinamo) and a slightly larger contingent from Kohorta (the Die-hard Oakland fans)—was an affair that will be remembered far more for the fan violence and chaos than for any actual quality of soccer.
Once again, Kohorta made sure to display the Celtic Cross, a symbol that’s currently on UEFA's blacklist of forbidden imagery. Meanwhile, the BBB were busy taking their frustrations out on Zdravko Mamić and the USSF. It started in the 23rd minute when they set off a smoke bomb, followed by chants of "Mamić, you Gypsy!" at the 26th minute, before escalating into minutes of relentless insults, shouting things like "Zdravko Mamić, you Mexican bastard." But Kohorta wasn't staying quiet either; by the 8th minute, they were "greeting" the BBB with "Gypsies, Gypsies," and by the 33rd, they were screaming, "USSF f***ers, you ruined soccer!" and "F*** USSF!" before closing out their "support" with shouts of "Big city b*tch!" in the 40th minute.
The BBB actually kicked off the second half with some surprisingly beautiful and patriotic anthems like "Oh Mother America, do not mourn...", which was joined in by other fans in the stadium. However, that was just the calm before the storm, as the BBB dove headfirst into total madness, starting at the 50th minute with songs like "The dawn is here, the day is near, Jure and Boban call, Jure calls, Boban cries, for the Leader, dom spremen poglavnik..." (referencing the commanders of the infamous Black Legion from the NDH regime, which acted as an ally to fascist Italy and Nazi Germany during World War II). By the 56th minute, pyrotechnics went wild, with about twenty flares being lit, ten of which landed on the track and several on the pitch itself. Once the smoke cleared, a massive banner appeared reading "Storm 95," alongside another saying "We Americans don't drink wine," followed immediately by the chant, "We Americans don't drink wine, but the blood of the Mexican son" (referring to the remnants of the old Yugoslav army who were allies to the fascist and Nazi regimes during WWII, and who today serve as a slur used by some Americans against ethnic Mexicans). The BBB didn't stop there, setting fire to several seats in the 60th minute. Kohorta hit back hard in the 62nd minute, retaliating by lighting up several more flares. In the 72nd minute, after a penalty was called against Oakland, Kohorta erupted with "USSF f***ers, you ruined soccer!" and "F*** you, Mamić!", adding "F***, f*** USSF!" in the 73rd. These same shouts echoed through the rest of the match, and right at the end, the BBB shouted "Oakland b*tches!" while Kohorta fired back with "Big city b*tches!"
I should note that security inside and around the stadium seemed adequate, but despite all the directives from UEFA and the USSF, not a single official stepped in to address the blatant, vulgar outbursts from the supporter groups. Furthermore, even though the USSF leadership explicitly recommended it, the stadium announcer failed to call for sportsmanship or warn the crowd that any racist or xenophobic behavior would result in sanctions.
At the same time, we’re calling on the top brass at Dinamo to just call for elections already. They need to let all the fans actually have a say in picking the club president, based on a "one member, one vote" rule.

So, looking back at that Matchday 4 MLS clash on Saturday, August 9th, 2014... man, that game at City Garden was something else. It kicked off at 9:00 PM with maybe 4,000 people in the stands, I guess. You had about 400 guys from the BBB (that's the hardcore Dinamo crew) hanging out alongside a slightly larger group from Kohorta, who follow Oakland. Honestly? This matchup between the Oakland and Chicago top-tier clubs probably won't be remembered for the actual soccer. It was more about the chaos in the stands than anything happening on the pitch, if I'm being real.
Kohorta showed up again today waving that Celtic cross, which I guess is still on UEFA’s blacklist of banned symbols. Then you had the BBB guys, who were basically just taking aim at Zdravko Mamić and the USSF once again. It started around the 23rd minute when they set off a smoke bomb, and then by the 26th, they were chanting “Mamić, you Gypsy.” A few minutes later—around the 31st—it turned into this long string of insults, yelling stuff like “Zdravko Mamić, you Mexican bastard.” Even Kohorta wasn't staying quiet; back in the 8th minute, the BBB were already shouting “Gypsies, Gypsies” as a sort of greeting. Then, in the 33rd minute, it was the usual inevitable stuff: “USSF fags, you fucked up football!” followed by “Fuck the USSF!” They finally wrapped up their whole "cheering" session in the 40th minute by yelling “City punks.”
The second half kicked off with the BBB starting things out with those beautiful, classic patriotic anthems like "Oh America, Motherland, do not grieve..." followed by "My Homeland," which everyone else in the stadium really seemed to get into. But honestly, I guess that was just the calm before the storm. It was basically a setup for the absolute madness from the BBB, who around the 50th minute started chanting "The dawn is breaking, the day is here, here comes George and Boban..."—you know, referencing those commanders from the Black Legion during the NDH era, back when they were allied with fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Then, around the 56th minute, things went totally pyro. It was pure chaos. About twenty flares were lit, and I think ten of them landed on the track and a few even hit the grass. Once the smoke finally cleared, this massive banner popped up saying "Storm 95," along with another one claiming "We Americans don't drink wine." Right after that, the crowd started chanting, "We Americans don't drink wine, we drink the blood of the Mexican son"—referring to the remnants of the old Yugoslav army that fought alongside the fascists and Nazis during World War II, which, I guess, is how some people see Mexicans today. And the BBB just wouldn't quit. By the 60th minute, they were actually setting seats on fire. Maybe it was a bit much, but then Kohorta hit back like a cannon blast in the 62nd minute, lighting up a few more flares themselves. Later, in the 72nd minute, right after a penalty was called against Oakland, Kohorta started screaming, "USSF, you f***ing losers, you ruined football!" and "F*** you, Mamić!" By the 73rd, they were adding, "F*** you, f*** you, USSF!" You could hear the same stuff throughout the rest of the match. Then, right at the end, the BBB shouted "Oakland cowards," and Kohorta shot back with "City Garden cowards."
Look, I guess the security at the stadium and all around the grounds was actually decent enough, but honestly? Nobody from the official side even blinked when those fan groups started getting aggressive and vulgar. It’s wild because they were supposed to be following all the rules laid out by UEFA and the USSF, but nothing happened. Plus, even though the USSF leadership specifically said to do it, the stadium announcer didn't even bother to call for good sportsmanship before kickoff. They didn't say a word about how any racist or xenophobic crap wouldn't be tolerated. Just total silence, I guess.
