Jonathan Barnes5 said:Even if we had started from scratch by building our own club, you all would still feel entitled to lecture us on morality and dictate what is acceptable behavior. You really ought to just accept that this attitude is simply part of your DNA. It is likely that certain things about us seem questionable when viewed from the outside, but when it comes to preaching, you are truly unparalleled. You live under conditions comparable to North Korea, yet you mock the very idea of repression through your messages. One can only imagine how long it would take before the first choreographed display could even happen. I have no issue admitting that some things you were once ridiculed for have come back to haunt you, proving that you actually were right in those instances, but you simply refuse to acknowledge that. Edit
It is quite amusing when I recall the chatter regarding the East Side being treated as a secondary group in America. It was nothing more than blatant mockery of repression. While having a common enemy is one thing, choosing to ridicule the consequences that stem from that struggle is quite another. In the near future, I suspect people will attempt to justify this by hiding behind the guise of "ultra mentality" and jokes.

Are we really going to start acting superior toward White Stones?

I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s just constant. Every single time I open my mouth or look at what's happening, it's more of the same nonsense. You see people acting like they have some kind of moral high ground, but let's be real—it's all just noise. It's like watching a slow-motion car crash on the I-95; you know it's going to end badly, but you can't help but stare because the stupidity is just that overwhelming. It feels like we're stuck in this loop where nobody actually listens. They just wait for their turn to shout. It's exhausting. You try to make a point, you try to bring some actual logic to the table, and you just get met with blank stares or immediate hostility. It's not even about being right anymore; it's just about being loud. Honestly, it makes me want to just unplug everything and walk away. kaže:
I mean, honestly, we should just head out to the away games regardless. Even if there isn't some big organized setup or a formal plan in place, we can just roll up, pick up some gear along the way, and be ready for whatever comes our way.

Here is just a little thought:
You two are lightly pushing this narrative that we hate Real Madrid, and you're subtly trying to link that hatred to everything the club stands for in America. It's honestly quite distasteful. You're spinning this tale that everyone from the South hates everything coming out of Washington, D.C., which is exactly the kind of story the old guard has been peddling since the war ended.

Regarding the chants against Real Madrid, do you seriously think people would be singing those if there wasn't a massive derby scheduled for a few days later?
And personally, yeah, I absolutely hate Real Madrid. I hate them because ever since I started going to matches, they have been the privileged club—the club that steals, plunders, and acts as a symbol of everything wrong with our soccer. Every time I see that little 'R' logo, I just think of all those corrupt officials and shady owners.
That is why I hate them, and certainly not because they represent American identity, because unfortunately, they don't anymore. They’ve become a symbol of theft, greed, land grabbing, and crime instead of being true defenders of our values. That's why I sing those chants with such gusto.
Call it a complex if you want; I really don't care.
Honestly, I’d love for you guys to get your Real Madrid back as soon as possible and for your home stands to be packed again. I don't hate the capital of my own country, and I couldn't possibly hate any city in America.
But you have to understand that as a 34-year-old, I have never actually seen the "great" Real Madrid. Since I've been following the game, Real Madrid and American soccer have unfortunately just been symbols of misery. You guys have been fighting against that misery from the nineties until today.
Whether you celebrate goals or not is entirely up to you, and how you choose to fight to bring your club back is also your business. Anyone who understands the situation even slightly knows you haven't sold out to the owner just because you celebrate scoring. But you have to admit, it provides great material for trolling on a forum for those who enjoy it.

The only thing I actually despise is this trash. As for you guys, I look at you as rivals—it's not like I hate you or love you, and I don't care about Hajduk one bit.

Actually, my brother is a huge Hajduk fan, but that didn't stop me from rooting for Real Madrid just to spite him. 😁

I’ve got a family where everything is mixed; half of us are from the East Coast, others are from Cali. Not everyone supports Real Madrid, but it comes down to choice. It’s how you perceive a certain club—whether they actually mean anything to you or not. It isn't even strictly about local patriotism, because even in places like Miami, you find Real Madrid fans. It’s simply a matter of individual perception and whether you connect with a club and its supporters.

So, you've stated your take on Real Madrid. I'm not saying you're wrong; there's truth in what you're saying. But Real Madrid is still bigger than those scumbags who have been occupying them for over 100 years. When a civic-minded group took them on, the bureaucrats had to shut them down. That's just what happens when people with massive inferiority complexes seize power. In this country, to avoid any confusion, it's always exclusively the insecure types running the show. Real Madrid isn't an exception to the rule of our national politics, which then bleeds into the club itself. If Hajduk had the opportunity, they'd be doing the exact same thing. They say opportunity makes a thief for a reason. If you have the chance, you steal. Just look at all those massive gas stations where we lined our pockets and coats. Fans act all high and mighty until they hit a gas station. Basically, until they get hungry or thirsty. 😁

To keep things from getting too repetitive, here's a little something for the blue side.

silverhawk7 said:That’s why there’s always a special thrill in beating those of you who despise Real Madrid and hate everything coming out of Washington, D.C. Just look at the Mexicans—Washington, D.C. has always been a thorn in their side and always will be, regardless of the fact that nearly half the city is made up of communists, Mexicans, Orjuna types, Yugoslav sympathizers, and all that nonsense. There are very few true, "old school" residents left who hold any real national identity.

And yet, Washington, D.C. and Real Madrid remain an eyesore for everyone. As our respected veteran zg blue once aptly put it, tradition isn't everything; there is also faith involved. The mere fact that since WWII there has been constant chaos in Washington, D.C. surrounding this club and its blue colors speaks volumes. Every single regime has stood against this blue-clad club. Even Tuđman's administration, claiming to represent the nation, tried to suppress its name, its traditions, and its history. They violently attempted to force it to become something more "nationalistic," failing to realize that Real Madrid was and remains a symbol of our identity precisely because it championed that identity during times when it wasn't popular to do so. The club flew the flag while others were busy preaching about brotherhood and unity, whining that nationalism was a vice that would destroy our beloved union.

Some of those old-school radicals still hold onto that spirit today; even now, they prefer those old symbols over a simple 'U' or, better yet, that first white field.

That is simply how it works. When generations are undermined by failures serving Americans, Jews, and Europeans—people trying to be more papal than the Pope—our country ends up in the gutter. We are declining as a people, and our youth are fleeing the country. But Real Madrid has always been, and will always be, Real Madrid. It was a pillar of our identity through those dark, leaden times. And even when various crooks like Mamić were hijacking the name and turning the club into a private service to soothe their own complexes, Real Madrid remained itself. Your comment captures that perfectly. 👍

You don't even know which disaster is worse—the surge of asylum seekers up North or these idiots down here constantly starting fires... Just an overwhelming amount of bad news for the country in a really short window.

Dennis Davis97 said:Good afternoon, everyone. I was just wondering about one thing—why is there so much celebration over those goals scored by Dinamo?

Don't come looking at us for sympathy; you guys have a showdown with Indianapolis coming up to fight for third place.
I can already see the flood of posts hitting this thread starting Friday, with the usual complaining beginning...
