MLS 2022/23 Season: Part 2

William Bishop7 said:The atmosphere was incredible—I truly hope it stays that way. For the players, though, it might have been a bit surreal. You could tell they were feeling the heat; things would have gone differently if they weren't under such intense pressure, but they just aren't used to that kind of environment.

That’s the quote from the Dinamo youth coach, and honestly, what a joke... But Dubravko knows better than anyone what the vibe in that stadium was actually like. Instead of being honest, he’s acting like ten idiots, letting his own complexes regarding people from the South dictate the narrative, trying to claim the whole crowd was massacring his juniors... So then the Dinamo coach just turns around and vomits all over us with this pathetic, sob-story journalism.

Just my little take on the Cibalia stadium over in Vinkovci

Frank Hayes71 said:Hey there, folks from the old neighborhood—just dropping in to give everyone a little trip down memory lane regarding that match we talked about... honestly, most people today would probably trade just about anything they own to have that kind of energy in the stands again...

Honestly, everyone, if I may speak for the group, you all have truly let us down.
I suspect many of you are supporters of Cibalia—likely a club that attracts very few haters, or at least people who find reason to complain about every little thing. In my own life, I’ve encountered countless fans from various teams, and quite often, they place Cibalia on the same high pedestal as their own beloved clubs.
That kind of respect is a rare luxury in an era where everything feels tainted, where standards have slipped, and where integrity is frequently traded away until it reaches a point of sheer discomfort.

Just try it. Please, try everything within your power to get Cibalia back on its feet and firmly planted in the top flight. It is certainly much easier for me to say these things here than it is for you to actually execute them on the ground. But whatever you do, do not give up. Perhaps in the near future, better days will come for both the club and the city of Vinkovci; perhaps conditions will finally align so that Cibalia can occupy the place it absolutely deserves to be.

Warm regards from the East Coast to all the folks in Vinkovci, and to all the Cibalia faithful.

Carl Hernandez3 said:Looking for some decent shirts over in Stuttgart—any recommendations?
Man—back then, we actually believed—it really felt like this club was destined to be in the Premier League one day.

Daniel Robinson59 said:The jerseys from Dinamo Vinkovci back in 1982 actually were identical to the VFB Stuttgart ones because they were brought over—well, bought, really—right there in Stuttgart just before that season kicked off.😉
