Where would you even get a sign that big printed. My self-diagnosed autism implores me to understand the logistics behind it all.

Any ad agency that does large-format advertising would handle the logistics. Usually one of the ultras owns or works at one or knows someone who does. Most ultras have a fund set aside for this.

Albanian club Teuta were blatantly trying to throw the match against Flamurtari, but everybody involved was too incompetent to get it done. Finally in the last few seconds a heroic effort made it happen.

I had no idea he was still playing, I thought he retired years ago.

He retired from international football before the 2010 world cup after Maradona criticized him on some talk show instead of doing it in person

No that's not true at all and it's really frowned up on in the "scene".

Here's some videos of the process if you're interested:

Having painted tifos and drops for amatuer dramatics the process is very similar. The only real hurdle is finding a space large enough to lay the tifo flat as you paint it. if you are painting and folding as you go because the pace is too small you will gently caress it up.

In the entire video they dont mention doing it because it's fun or a pleasant diversion or anything like that a single time. they're completely serious about believing that it helps the team and displays their social status and poo poo like that. These are people that have become obsessive soccer fans because its the one thing they can do in life that gives them any sort of heirarchical power and its shameful and i cant believe you're defending it.

E: also they use the word passion about 20 times

At least for that one, it got repainted for a different tifo later in the season, because that much canvas is expensive. Others have been cut into sections and auctioned off, or otherwise recycled in some way.

Also, the Swedish flag was placed there to honor the keeper of a Swedish club the Timbers are very friendly with (AIK), who died suddenly of a heart attack.
