Reposted by VictoriaA.R. Moxon @juliusgoat.bsky.social · 10/10/2025I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for? 4382952211
