It's official. There can only be one Eagles. That of the mighty Palace.

It was decided here by your parent club's fans on

Before we can hate them properly we need to know more about them. Any girly chants they have apart from nicking our Eagles chant? What kit do they wear, is it pink/purple? Who's their diving forward and who is their manager and has he slept with any under age girls. Does their keeper eat all the pies? Where do their firm drink, that sort of thing.

Charlotte - "You're going home in a Baltimore ambulance"

You do have a lot to learn about them.

Hilarious...
You don't know until you know, ya know?

Rez, welcome to the board!

Kind of ironic, mate. Your username is "Rez". The Charlotte Eagles are a football club that is run by a Christian Missionary organization. They use football as a way to share their faith with people here in the States and around the world. They are a little hard to hate because their players' behaviour is a lot different than your "usual" footballer. It's kind of like hating the friendly, hardworking local vicar. "Yes", we want to beat them but it's hard to "hate" them because they are so damn classy and nice. And they play good football.

No doubt that they will be our rival along with the Richmond Kickers. I just hope that we can beat them at least once this first season. That would be a great accomplishment.

Cheers!

Hey Yankiboy! Why would Charlotte be your rival if Richmond is the Closer? Should your second rival Team be Harrisburg?

I like Harrisburg. As was mentioned in another thread, our admittedly anachronistic official state song refers to them as "scum." Can't hate on Charlotte. Good players and good people from what I've heard.

Ha ha – Bless ‘em (literally)



My post was slightly tongue in cheek. Although judging by their badge, I did suspect religious connotations. Knowing what you have told me now it makes my post a little funnier.



I suppose they’ll be pretty strong this year with the lord on their side, miraculous injury recovery times, and freak gusts of wind - that sort of thing.



Our football culture isn’t used to franchising – teams leaving their routes etc. So I hope we are in it for the long term. And build a stable base over there. If it is successful expect a few more to do the same.

If I can't make you hate the God-botherers then at least have a strong dislike for Brighton & Hove Albion. And if anyone asks you about Charlton Athletic, you just shrug your shoulders. :p

Someone said my name Rez was ironic... I'm not sure that it is...please explain. Rez is a tune by Underworld. How they named it is anyones business. I'm even more surprised, becuase I never thought that Americans understood irony.

Thanks for the advice on which clubs over their that CP has a rivalry with.

Their used to be a Christian rock band for a long time in the 70's-late 80's or eraly 90's called the Ressurection Band. They were really big in the Jesus music movement. In the mid 80's they changed their name to Rez. Whenever I see that name, I always think of the shortened for of Ressurection. I'm not sure the shortened form of the word may have been aprtially what Underworld had in mind since they could be a bit quirky at times--sort of like a new beginning--not necesarily religous...

For some of us here, a guy going by the username Rez, joking about members of the Charlotte Eagles organization fornicating with underage girls--that is ironic...

No disrespect to the other Islanders but Charlotte and Richmond are the "big dogs", so I think that even though we are the new guys on the block and they are a longer drive away--they are going to be rivals just as much as Harrisburg. I could be wrong though.

I always enjoyed sending the MISL Heat home after a Blast victory. I will do the same with Palace. Harrisburg will become our natural rival. We're only 75 minutes away from each other. I have no problems driving that far to harrass opposing fans.

Hey, please let me know if you do. We can share the gas expense if you want. Plus, it will give me a chance to revisit my youth when I was a Messiah College student. (Just kidding, it is a great institution--seriously--it is. Moving to the PA Capital area was a huge cultural shift for me)

Sorry lads but I now hate your team with a passion usually reserved for the trash of Stretford & Anfield.Not your teams fault! Baltimore Orioles have just killed off any chance of a South Florida Revival in soccer! They have even conned my tax money out of our local moron officials. Lockhart Stadium venue of around 100/150 events sporting & otherwise is to be sacrificed for the Orioles Spring Training facility up grade.The 20,000 + football/soccer Stadium will be pulled down for 3 baseball pitches,while the upgraded Baseball Stadium will be able to house 8,000 in a configuration suitable for football & Soccer!! FOAD Baltimore.Your pathetic 4,000 sheep don't even have a Florida State League team to watch.14 games maximum Ihope bankrupcy is your destiny.
Cal Ripken do something decent for once.Save Florida Pro Soccer!!
Cheers Rev TT & COCO

revttcoco,
Hate Crystal Palace all you want. Nothing personal. But just so you know, half the people in Baltimore don't even like the Orioles and their owner. The only reason attendance figures are so high every year is because college students can get in for $5.

Maybe if we play one of your local teams in a match this season, then you can hate us for a good reason... like when we destroy your on field "product".

I LOVE the Orioles. I just despise the owner.
Not even Cal likes the owner. He won't go on record as stating it but most of us accept that as commmon knowledge.

Good point Yanki.

Cal has stated though that he would purchase the Orioles were the opportunity present.

Well it's looking like the one and only "Eagles" will be staying in the Championship. B'Ham City 1 - Palace 0. I hope those CP fans that heckled me last season are remembering how the told me Brum would be relegated again this season. :p
