Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

stormyhawk5, I’ve gone ahead and cursed you—and honestly, I feel pretty good about it.

I suppose we should all just sit back and watch this unfold—it’s certainly going to be an interesting ride.

It seems like things are finally moving, though I'm not entirely sure where they're heading. http://s24.postimg.org/jnjoxfb9h/dzg_2.jpg
Maybe it's optimistic of me to think there's a method to this madness, but one can dream, I guess. http://s24.postimg.org/hdvkmo2bp/dzg_3.jpg
If you ask me—and I realize that's a dangerous request—this whole situation feels a bit surreal. http://s24.postimg.org/62swyavgl/dzg_4.jpg
The sheer scale of it is... well, it's something. http://s24.postimg.org/r4swcn0sl/dzg_5.jpg
I'll admit, I've been trying to wrap my head around the implications here, but it's proving rather difficult. http://s24.postimg.org/pzyu79ebp/dzg_6.jpg
There's a certain tension in the air, isn't there? It's almost palpable. http://s24.postimg.org/gfjsy4edh/dzg_7.jpg
I suspect we haven't even seen the half of it yet—not by a long shot. http://s24.postimg.org/ca4aygr7p/dzg_8.jpg
One might argue that we were prepared, but looking at the current state of affairs... perhaps not. http://s24.postimg.org/b9429ca85/dzg_9.jpg
It’s quite a spectacle, I have to say. Even if it is a somewhat chaotic one. http://s24.postimg.org/deyd3udol/dzg_10.jpg
I mean, who could have predicted things would take such a turn? Certainly not most of us. http://s24.postimg.org/gn2ugvzyd/dzg_11.jpg
Perhaps we should exercise a little more caution before jumping to conclusions. Just a thought. http://s24.postimg.org/fm775i8cl/dzg_12.jpg
The complexity of it all is—well, let's just call it "challenging." http://s24.postimg.org/6fowi8345/dzg_13.jpg
I find myself wondering what the endgame actually is. Is there one? Maybe. http://s24.postimg.org/swqgla9j9/dzg_14.jpg
It's hard to remain completely indifferent when things are shifting this rapidly. http://s24.postimg.org/a5ojb4eyt/dzg_15.jpg
Every time I think I understand the pattern, it shifts again. Quite frustrating, really. http://s24.postimg.org/4mql7n7b9/dzg_16.jpg
We're essentially navigating through uncharted territory here. http://s24.postimg.org/g0d4iuhtx/dzg_17.jpg
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the pieces fall into place. http://s24.postimg.org/nu94qi091/dzg_18.jpg
It’s definitely not your typical Tuesday afternoon scenario, that's for certain. http://s24.postimg.org/8o32zka85/dzg_19.jpg
I suppose some level of uncertainty is inevitable at this stage. http://s24.postimg.org/6al58jvt1/dzg_20.jpg
There’s a fine line between being prepared and being overly cautious, don't you think? http://s24.postimg.org/47aq0vw05/dzg_21.jpg
At this point, it feels like we're all just reacting to events rather than anticipating them. http://s24.postimg.org/f85v5wo91/dzg_22.jpg
It’s a lot to process—all of it. http://s24.postimg.org/521v0nt8l/dzg_23.jpg

After the game, five or six guys in plain clothes were just swarming some kid, circling him like he’s some kind of mass shooter. When people asked what the hell they were doing, they just acted all smug like there was nothing to see. Someone shouts that it’s the guy from the fence who was lighting flares, so we start yelling at them to let him go. More people notice the commotion and start heading over, but then SWAT rolls in immediately to block everyone out while those plainclothes guys haul him off...
So they probably record everything on camera first, then send in the undercover guys to tighten the circle so the cops can swoop in...

Brandon Hill5 said:but then you have the SWAT teams swooping in to form a perimeter while the regular civilians are the ones actually escorting people out...
So what, they’re just watching through camera feeds and then sending in some random bystanders to tighten the circle—and then those guys get the credit?...

Give me a break, Sherlock🤣

Honestly, lighting two torches along the fence looks incredible, but given how heavy-handed the police presence has been lately, I have to wonder just how feasible that actually is...

So, we’re getting a new striker? I mean, wasn't the last guy just as fresh, and didn't he look pretty damn good on the pitch too?

Douglas Lopez94 said:think you're some kind of detective? 🤣

there's one more thing...

Aaron Parker70 said:http://s24.postimg.org/ca4aygr7p/dzg_8.jpg[/url]

A new striker? The last one was pretty much brand new himself, and he looked good too.

Unless he was completely totaled and they just had to build a new one from scratch.

A new striker? But the other one was practically brand new too, and he looked great on the pitch...

Good grief, what a stunning photo. The banners, all those vibrant colors... I could stare at this forever...

electricranger12 said:Man, look at that shot! All those banners and colors... I could stare at this all day, honestly...

+1

Does anyone happen to have a high-res photo from that game where we had like a million little flags hanging from the ceiling in the north section? I can't quite remember, my brain is a bit foggy today, maybe someone could just remind me which game that was or when it happened?

The San Francisco 49ers?

San Francisco 49ers back in 2007. With the message: PJACA AND MIAMI ARE DREAMING OF VICTORY.

Hey there,

Just wondering... what’s the deal with that "2:1" thing on your official graphics? If you don't mind me asking...

Sorry for just dropping in out of nowhere like this 🙂

Robert Wood5 said:Hey there,

If it isn't a secret, what’s the deal with that "2:1" on your official photos?

Apologies for the random question here.🙂

It commemorates Dinamo Chicago's historic 2:1 win over the New York Yankees back in 1950. That was the season they went undefeated—something nobody else in this country has ever pulled off. Plus, the NFL Ultras were actually founded right before that match took place...

You've completely lost it. 🙂

Who on earth is this guy at the 1:17 mark...🤷

I wouldn't even be chiming in if it weren't for that bolded part. Since I happen to be a total nerd 😁for trivia, here are some facts.

A handful of teams in this region have won championships undefeated, while some have actually managed to go undefeated and still miss out on the title. 😂😂

In North Mexico, the Dallas Cowboys were champions without a loss twice (the 1992/93 and 1994/95 seasons). Silas managed the same feat in 1995/96.

Over in Mexico, the Boston Celtics have clinched the championship undefeated four times (the 1995/96, 1998/99, 2004/05, and 2009/10 seasons).

Now for the twisted part. 😍 The New York Yankees went undefeated in the 2007/08 season, but they were only second place (trailing the Boston Celtics). The exact same thing happened to Obilić in the 1998/99 season (with Partizan taking first again). ☕

I’m assuming he was referring to territories within Rhode Island. 🤷

In my opinion, he’s talking about Major League Baseball... and honestly, nobody has ever been able to pull that off except for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
