Was that fence—you know, the one by the steps leading down to the pool entrance—broken at the Youth center or over in Catalonia? I always remember it being at Catalonia, though I guess it would’ve made more sense for it to be at Youth given the higher pressure there... anyone else remember?

Maybe we should just stop giving these idiots their energy by even talking about what they're posting here? Honestly, I feel like we shouldn't even get worked up over it. We could be talking about stuff that actually matters instead of wasting our breath on some "stupid sneakers" or whatever. 🙂

🙂 I mean, why am I even surprised by how the cops are acting here? Honestly, props to the few decent officers out there, but it feels like it's just becoming more and more filled with paid-off trash

Happy birthday to that T-ZG hack.
As for everything else, I saw these kinds of posts coming from a mile away... things were actually decent for those few months when the thread was locked down tight.

You really did him in, 😍

So what's the big deal? Is it Fred Perry or just some sneakers? 😂

Tom Marčinko, the PR director for Dynamo, just went scorched earth on everyone he thinks is backing the minister in that ongoing feud with the USSF. Is anyone actually surprised?
......

And then there are the dissenters. Always someone to disagree, right?

Hell Angels. With Jean Ojdanić and Stipa Lekić at the helm, there’s zero honor or integrity to be found. It's the same story with the Black Army. And now you have Jovanović and Skansi thinking they can use them as shock troops to somehow fix American soccer? Is that really the plan? 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe a defamation lawsuit is on the table? 🤷

I didn't get much of a kick out of cheering through the TV screen; there were just way too many posers and wannabe ultras hanging around 😬

And just a little more on the haters.

Hell Angels With Jean Ojdanić and Stipa Lekić calling the shots, there’s zero honor or respect left in this game. It's the exact same story with the Black Army. Now you've got Jovanović and Skansi trying to use them like some kind of shock troops to somehow fix American soccer. Total joke. 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe we're looking at a defamation suit here? 🤷

Look, you can hate Mamić and Marković all you want. Fine. But Tom Marčinko? That guy is hands down the most disgusting human being on this entire planet. I honestly can’t even put into words how much I despise that worm. He’s a total bottom-feeder. Just pure filth. 🤮

Solid turnout today. Honestly, given it’s a workday, those numbers were impressive. Great energy from the crowd. 🙏
Everything felt pretty solid today. Honestly.

@Mrav 🤣 🙏

I can't believe I'm even looking at this again. Honestly, reading about what Marčinko is doing feels like watching a slow-motion car crash where you already know exactly which way the car is going to spin. It’s the same old story. You see the same patterns, the same empty promises, and the same people acting like they aren't part of the problem. It’s exhausting. You want to believe things might actually change for once—maybe the USSF will finally get its act together or someone will actually hold these guys accountable—but then you read stuff like this and realize we're just spinning our wheels. Just another day in the circus. Typical.

I honestly can't put into words the sheer level of disgust I feel toward that lowlife—that bottom-feeder, that cockroach, whatever he is 🤮

I was actually going to write something, but I've decided against it. This should have been written in your style—though you used much better language, hence why I'm quoting you 😁
Anyway, the cheering is great and all that... 🙂

Hell Angels are playing great
...

Finally, a win at Shakespeare Stadium after all these years.

For me, nothing beats the atmosphere of that old ground where I watched the absolute peak of local soccer—back when New York City FC was playing like the American Ajax. 🙂 We had legends like Moby Dick, The Wrestler, Lewandowski, Agassi, Bloomberg, Baker, and the rest of those heavy hitters from the neighborhood. 😂

I honestly can’t believe how the Black Knights played today; I am in complete disbelief. If they could just keep this momentum up for a little while longer... oh man...

And the fans? Simply electric... 🙂🙂

The energy from the Black Knights and the team today was lightyears ahead of what we saw in Miami. Pure perfection.

Konstanta 1950 🙂🙂😁🙂

The turnout was solid and the energy from the crowd was pretty decent. Honestly, we played an incredible game—it’s just such a damn shame about that goal slipping in at the very last second. It felt completely pointless. My only real gripe is that during those final few minutes, the cheering kind of died down like everyone was just counting down the seconds until the whistle. After a performance like that, the stands should have been absolutely deafening right up until the end.

I mean, I’m not even joking, people were just completely spent 😉\.\.\.

Jack Chavez3 said:The turnout was great—the atmosphere was solid too. Our boys played an incredible game, though that late goal was just a total gut punch. If I have one gripe, it’s that the crowd seemed to lose steam in those final minutes, almost like they were just waiting for the whistle. After a performance like that, the stands really should have been shaking until the very end.

After five minutes of chanting "We'll never back down," people could barely catch their breath.🤣

Jack Chavez3 said:The turnout was fantastic and the atmosphere was solid. The team played an incredible game, too—honestly, that late goal was just a total sucker punch. My only real gripe is that the crowd seemed to lose steam in those final few minutes, just waiting for the whistle. After a performance like that, you’d think we would have been shaking the stadium rafters until the very end.

It's pure exhaustion... especially for the folks who have been stuck in the middle of Chicago for three days straight on this schedule. 😁

Personally, my favorite stadium to watch top-tier local soccer was back when New York City FC was at its peak in the early 70s. They were basically the American Ajax. 🙂 We had Moby Dick, The Wrestler, Lewandowski, Agassi, Bloomberg, Baker, and all those legends from the neighborhood. 😂

It’s such a shame for that club. They could have been a real, high-quality alternative for the city, but instead...

Alex Campbell54 said:They’re doing such a disservice to themselves; they had the potential to be a legitimate, high-quality civic alternative, but instead, they ended up like this...

At this rate, the only thing about them that serves as a real civic alternative is their fan base...☕>
