Honestly every picture here looks a bit crazy. this is a collection of Soccer supporters groups from around the world. Most are from club teams, some are from national teams. It is amazing to me that NBA fans just sit on their hands. ot that they just use those clapper things. check out the creativity of these supporters groups. why dont we have supporters grous in the NBA like there is even in NCAA? Man, if I owned a team I would definately liven things up in my arena. I would however leave the flares to the soccer pitch though. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74235&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 enjoy
What? No hooligans, riots, stampedes, knifings, or bloodshed of any kind? And you call those people "fans"?
Anti, Photoshop request. Put the Rockets new logo in place of Satan in that 1st picture. In fact, at first glance, I thought thats what it was.
Soccer fans are the best and worst fans at the same time. So much blind love for their team, it's crazy, yet so much death and destruction, it's . . . crrrrrrrazy.
there really has not been much violence in a while. and really Italy is where you need to worry. If I find pictures from the opening game at new soldier field this weekend I will post them the Chicago Fire has Americas best supporters group. I am sure they wont do quite anything as spectacular as that thread, but I have read that they planned some great stuff. I also read that the security at SF wont let them do most of it, but they have rethough and have a good show none the less. not to mention they expect 35k to that game and they are really looking to put on a show. My fav is Sams Army. its our national tam suporters group there are a coupe picturs of them in the thread, but no crazy streamers. Its hard to be that organized for national games. just club games where season tickets re involved. not to mention the Nats rarely play in the same stadium more than once a year.
I really hope McNair gets off his ass and ponies up the dinero for a MLS team in Houston for 2007. he has the stadium, and has already made big bucks off of soccer. now he just needs to give the city something it sorely needs. but they may need to use a dif color than in the picture. that looks like the Jersey metros
I can't look at the red version of the new logo without thinking of that Slayer album cover where the guy carved "SLAYER" into his forearm with a razor. Maybe the band could take over for the Big Bang Drummers. "Raininnngg bloooooood...! From a lacerated skyyyy!" And now, your Houston Rockets! *furious double-bass drumming*
Man, I LOVE futbol (Soccer), but I don't think the MLS would do very good here. The Mexico v USA game was an amazing atmosphere and turnout but is not indicative of how the MLS would do here. There is something special about national teams competing against each other that the MLS lacks namely quality players. Most nationals teams have "World Class talent", the MLS has talented players but not World Class. I think the MLS is one of the weakest leagues in the world, The Mexican league is pretty weak and boring too.
