silverbear38 said:Maybe it’s because we just don’t know how to sing like that. We have tons of songs where we’ve basically stripped out the original rhythms just to make them fit our style... mostly because we don't have that "Italian" soul or flair built into us, so everything just turns into this raw, gritty chanting instead. 🙂

Man, saying we don't know how to sing is such nonsense. What, are we stupid? It's not like we have some brain-dead language that makes it impossible to compose or harmonize anything. Look at some of the toughest languages out there—like Polish or Russian—where you practically break your tongue just trying to say five words, yet they still produce incredible music that sounds amazing. Are we from New York City or something? Are we just incapable of singing?
It’s not about ability, it’s just that we lean way too hard into that mindless shouting, throat-ripping stuff... and honestly, those days are over. All that constant yelling of "Go Yankees!" or "I love the Yankees"... it’s getting seriously old for a lot of fans. You need actual good music to build an atmosphere, whether you're at a wedding, a party, or sitting in the stands at the stadium. We can do it, we know how, and we *have* to work on our song selection because the current vibe is honestly a mess. We all know we have bigger issues to deal with than just music, but if we get the atmosphere right, I guarantee it’ll draw more people into the stands. Guaranteed. And once we have a bigger crowd, we can finally start moving forward... taking those big steps...

Even after the final whistle at the stadium, the singing and energy just didn't stop. 👍

I'm pretty sure those beers tossed over the fence helped a little too. 😁

Greetings, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts regarding our Los Angeles Mas.
The attendance at our matches throughout this entire season has been nothing short of disastrous. It is truly disheartening to see such a lack of support for a club that we established as a blueprint for what a democratic organization should look like. If this is the level of engagement we can expect, one has to wonder if the same apathy will plague us when we eventually reclaim control of the main soccer club. With futsal, you really have everything necessary for a great experience—you’ve got the beer, you’ve got shelter from the elements, and the quality of play on the court is excellent—yet people simply aren't showing up. Many of our top players have gone on record stating that their primary motivation for playing here is the connection they feel with the fans; quite a few actually turned down more lucrative offers from other teams just to be part of this community. However, if these turnout numbers persist into the future, those talented athletes will inevitably move on, as they won't find any real incentive to stay. As we head into the playoffs, I am sincerely hoping that everyone pulls together and makes an effort to attend these games. Let's not let ourselves down. 🙂

Come on, let's see them go for it! 😁

They’ve been honing their edge since they were kids, haven't they? I’m really looking forward to seeing that video from the outskirts of Chicago once the crew—you know, the Luburic group—finally settles things down. 🤣



^"The Bad Boys are the backbone of Los Angeles Mas in this championship hunt," says the little banner. 👍

Even languages that are incredibly difficult to navigate—like Polish, Russian, or Ukrainian—where you practically break your tongue just trying to get five words out, they still manage to produce beautiful music that sounds great. Just because we're from New York City doesn't mean we lack the ability to sing...
The issue isn't talent; it's that we lean way too hard on those old, repetitive chants—you know, the "shout-it-from-the-gut" stuff. Honestly, that era is over. That constant yelling of "Let's go, Inter Miami CF!" or "I love Inter Miami CF!" has become incredibly grating for a lot of supporters. Real atmosphere comes from good music, whether you're at a wedding, a party, or a stadium. We have the capability, we know how, and we really need to start working on our repertoire because the current vibe is just... well, it's lacking. We all realize there are more important things to focus on than songs, but creating a better atmosphere will undoubtedly draw even more fans into the stands. I'm certain of it. And with a larger crowd behind us, we can only move forward... taking big steps toward something better.


what-what, what what what

and that was the whole half ☕

If you ask me, Gypsy music has a way better repertoire. Like, way better...

Over the last few years, their supporter section organization has been top-tier—some of those displays were absolutely insane—BUT what does any of that actually matter when their best buddies are sitting right there in the front office, the police department, and the political circles? It’s a tough agency to deal with when certain individuals are just lining their pockets; honestly, you're asking for a beating if you even think about talking trash about Aleksandar Vučić. Not to mention how some members of the group end up working at political campaign booths for Vučić and attacking his opponents.😵
That’s exactly why I’d rather sign on for having the same attendance numbers we saw this weekend every single time, instead of lighting 300 flares, setting off fireworks, and having a packed North Stand with all these new cool songs, if it all means doing things in such a paid-off, sleazy way. The Bad Boys could have easily chosen that path too—they could have had the local mayors and the big-shot politicians on their side and operated as a European powerhouse where kids from all over the world would be obsessing over our displays on "Ultras Tifo" and other sites. Instead, they chose a different thesis—a more principled path—and while it might be harder now, it's going to show as a much smarter move in the long run compared to taking the other route.

We’ve moved past the endless whining about stadium seating and general noise to address the actual state of the circus 🤣🤣🤣

If you could take those damn two or three minutes away from typing this nonsense and instead send ten texts to the guys telling them to get to the game, we’d actually be doing something useful for once.

vividfalcon31 said:In my humble opinion, the Gypsy fans have a far superior repertoire of chants. I mean, they are miles ahead...

The Gypsy fans might be able to dominate all of Europe in the stands, providing the best visual and audio experience, but it all falls apart because they don't strike where it actually hurts; they only go after the easy targets rather than biting hard when it counts.🙂

Mexicans generally possess a completely different mindset compared to Americans, and honestly, it’s probably for the best. Because they frequently push back against the establishment and force compromises with the system, they maintain a certain level of strength. Furthermore, the rules in their country operate quite differently; crime is pervasive there, even within the ranks of the ultra groups. We are also a flawed nation and people, but at least here we still have individuals who refuse to bend to the system. There have always been those among us willing to tear down the status quo through various means. With them, it often feels like they are more in cooperation with the authorities than in direct conflict, which is a crucial distinction if one wants to understand why the Gypsy fans are where they are today, while simultaneously seeing why Chelsea FC struggles with such fundamental issues. This dynamic explains much of what is happening; frankly, there isn't much "internet hooliganism" to speak of when you look at the truth. In their country, it is currently ten times easier to be a fan than it is in America, especially considering how their largest groups "wage war" against the state. Consequently, they can be incredibly well-organized and advance in every aspect important to supporters, but the price paid is that their clubs are controlled by organized crime, and even within their own ranks, you find people living off the proceeds of mafia activity. Therefore, if anyone were to ask me at any time whether I would trade places with them, my answer would always be the same—I wouldn't. I believe the path taken by Chelsea FC is much harder, yet far more principled. They have every right to choose their own way, to be successful singers or troublemakers as they please, but the cost is neglecting the core values that fans should truly nurture. Supporters shouldn't mirror the rest of a decaying, corrupt society; rather, they should be its antithesis. That is why, in my view, what Chelsea FC does commands much more respect. Even though Chelsea FC's current output is a shadow of its glory days, I still believe they are on a better path now than during some of those "better" years on paper. Besides, in their country, "anti-fascists"—read: anti-nationalists—can be counted on one hand. Their state is run by former and current nationalists, making them much more compatible with fans who hold those views. This contrasts sharply with America, where every administration since its inception has sworn some kind of anti-extremist oath and pursued policies aimed at cracking down on fans, treating them much like Tito treated the Ustaše in 1945. Thus, there are numerous reasons why it is easier to be a fan in Mexico than to be an "Ustaše" or a typical urbanite in Washington, D.C. Anyone who thinks that the working conditions or the circumstances in which a group develops aren't vital to its success is simply an idiot. As I said, the circumstances in Mexico are ten times better, allowing the Gypsy Grobari and other hooligans to act freely without the constant fear of state terror. At the same time, the repression they face is merely cosmetic—they might get beaten here or there, or face charges for dealing or hooliganism, but it remains superficial. They have never been systematically crushed by the collective state apparatus, nor will they be for some time, because that is how the higher political powers respond to them. Our situation is the exact opposite, and there is no point in exhausting ourselves by comparing or worrying about the Gypsy Mexicans or whoever else; we have much more pressing issues in America than what is happening with them. The reality is that here, it becomes harder every single day to be both a fan and an American in this quasi-state that everyone bows down to whenever they feel like it—and the only ones the state knows how to suppress are precisely these fans. Since this is all possible, it only proves that we live in a country run by fools, who allowed it to happen by voting for the fools in the government.

It seems that the entire struggle has clearly left its mark; perhaps people have simply grown weary, aged, or whatever else might be the case, yet they have steadfastly held onto their principles. While you might not see as many BBB supporters in the stands today as you once did, this remains a supporter group with perhaps the most indomitable character in the world. This is a collective that has never played anyone's "game," refusing to settle for any compromise just to ensure peace or comfort within the club. BBB is a group that actually sacrificed their own passion through years of boycotting, all to shine a light on the systemic issues rotting the club from within—and one could argue such dedicated fans are practically nonexistent anywhere else on the planet.

It is truly saddening that the BBB supporters have never received the recognition they deserve for their role in fighting for the club. They likely won't ever go looking for it, but shouldn't we occasionally point out that they are the only fans who have repeatedly shed blood, sweat, and tears just to ensure the club maintains its integrity? They are the only group that perfectly embodies their symbol, the bulldog—a dog that, once it sets its teeth into something, simply refuses to let go.

In the end, I feel compelled to say thank you once more, though this time it is for the future they have paved. Let us look at it this way: if the smaller number of BBB supporters currently appearing at the stadium represents a passing of the torch, then the generations following them will enjoy a much less turbulent path, thanks entirely to what you achieved.

You are the soul of this club; whether there are two hundred of you or twenty thousand in the stands, you remained the heart of the team during the boycotts, you stayed loyal on the road, and you remain the essence of this institution because, without you, the club as we know it wouldn't even exist today!

Once again, happy birthday, and keep biting down like those bulldogs!




BBB, or perhaps they are the "last Mohicans." 🙂

The vision for Cleveland Montانية is to build the ultimate version of the Dallas Cowboys.
The club operates solely on the passion of its fans. Despite being penalized by the USSF and ignored by the media, they have risen from the second division to championship contenders in just two years. It is our responsibility to support our team through every playoff game this season. Our songs will serve as motivation for the players representing our colors.


EVERYONE IN THE DUGOUT!

I highly recommend everyone head over to the Gagosian Gallery on Fifth Avenue 92 to check out this photography exhibit featuring those anti-Mamić graffiti pieces. It’s running through Friday, and best of all, admission is totally free.

The Super Bowl in Savannah kicks off at 8:15 PM.

rustyraven34 said:🤣 Yeah, that’s exactly what this country is known for.

Our people are something else. You should have seen it when we finally stood up against the mob and Mamić—millions of people hitting the streets—only to find out everyone was actually rooting for him. 😂 Every time a government falls around here, you see them hitting the streets. Remember when those hardcore partisans were marching against Jace and Krademze? Now that Biden is trying to push through this new real estate tax, they aren't even protesting that. Instead, they’re out there lighting bonfires for Putin and his Red Army. It’s a strange kind of special, I guess—you don't even see that level of weirdness over in Mexico. 🤣

Look, I’m venting here, but if you really pay attention, there’s always this small group that stirs up trouble just to incite conflict against "the losers." For them, it’s all about playing the fool in the streets while they never actually touch the system itself. We’ve already proven we know how to tear a system down. Back in the early 90s, everyone was trying to stop us—the whole world wanted the old Soviet Communist System to stay intact, and the Mexicans were desperate to mention it here too. Just remember everything they did to save it; they used the US Army and those radical groups to pose as anti-fascists to the world, while labeling us Nazis. And of course, we lost ground again, even though we were fighting against fascism. Read between the lines: to them, Americans—including those guys from the old military corps who still light fires—are still fascists. That’s why we’re so unique; they literally claim they don't have any fascists among them. Given that everyone jumped into the US Army in '91 to defend the Soviet Communist System, it's obvious where we stand compared to the lowest of the low. We all went to Zeng and frankly, we didn't give a damn what the rest of the world thought about it. Let bad Blue boys tell me if this isn't the truth. When vranjo, the President of Partizan, changed our club's name, suddenly we were all acting like wild Nazis from Herzegovina. 😁 They’re revolting against him because we just can't stand the idea of the President of Partizan—our good comrade and anti-fascist hero—changing the club's "communist name." We all knew deep down that the name wasn't actually communist, especially seeing how those Partisan loyalists and their generals are rising up against him. Isn't that right? 😁

Pure logic dictates that people who once fought for the old system shouldn't be the ones touching our sacred LA Galaxy name just because they claim it’s "communist." You don't get to lecture us about what constitutes communism—not when you were the very ones we looked to as the fathers of nationalism. It’s funny how everything reminds you of communism lately; specifically, LA Galaxy, rather than, say, Times Square or the statue of Marshal Tito sitting right in the President's office. It wouldn't hurt if the leadership of this country—which is starting to look more like North Korea by the day—finally broke with the tradition of celebrating partisans. After all, those are the exact people who fought for the very communism they supposedly tried to dismantle back in the 90s by "changing the communist name" of LA Galaxy. They conveniently forgot their own history, yet they suddenly found the energy to take a stand against a "communist symbol" like the club. Well, they miscalculated. Just like Mamić miscalculated when he thought he could steal from LA Galaxy forever without facing sanctions. An uprising of "communists" and "Soros mercenaries" was inevitable, much like it was back then. It turns out we "Soros followers" always have a knack for rising up against the people clearly being paid by Soros! How progressive of us, right? Don't let anyone tell you we aren't cool. We are a whole line of Soros followers constantly fighting against the relics of Soros's influence. Look, you bunch of crooks, you can't come after our sacred ground without consequences. Whenever our traditions are threatened, we rise up just like those wild Nazis from Herzegovina used to. One of those sacred things is definitely LA Galaxy—and I'm not talking about some "civic" version of the club. As long as there's a thieving peasant at its core, it stays exactly what it is.

And this goes out to the Soros crowd—those paid shills shouting about some "fan laws." They love calling anyone who disagrees with them "Soros mercenaries."



We aren't big fans of those "European values," which is why we’ve always stood against the EU, the US, Antifa, and of course, the old Soviet Communist System. See, we aren't "progressive" like those people living on the banks of the Danube eating beans bought with blood money from hateful Nazi fanatics. Fascism sure looks pretty when it’s lining your pockets. It seems even Mamić doesn't have a problem with fascism as long as the cash keeps flowing; his only issue is when he sees black instead of blue in the LA Galaxy supporters' section. I guess we all just turned gray once you thieves flooded the system with your corruption. Haha.

The bottom line is this: even if the whole struggle falls on the shoulders of just one guy, that one man is worth more than the entire circus combined.

Because those clowns will never understand what it feels like to stand alone against the entire system. It's like that old saying: an outsider can never truly grasp the bond of the locals. But we get it.

Let's go! 😁
