We are the Tony Danza Army, the world’s most famous women’s soccer supporters club.
We support the Pali Blues, a USL W-League side who has won the league championship in both years of their existence. While going undefeated, the Blues have been buoyed time and again by their crazed, hardcore fans that give them a considerable home advantage. Opposing teams come to Pali High with high hopes of an upset, but leave utterly shaken and intimidated by the Tony Danza Army. For 90 minutes, we stand, chant, raise banners, swing flags, and hurl general abuse behind the visiting bench while tirelessly urging Pali on. Semiprofessional women’s soccer is not known for its atmosphere, but the TDA is changing that by turning Temescal Road into a veritable fortress every match.
Since its inception, our group has recieved acclaim on top soccer blogs and praise from several USL coaches. But there’s more to the Tony Danza Army than that. Ultimately, we’re a group of amiable young guys and gals who like to have a good time and enjoy a sporting event. Yes, we’re loud. Yes, we get a little wild. Yes, we will berate you if you play against the Blues or sully the name of our glorious city. However, we’re also characterized as a friendly group by coaches, players, staff, and other fans alike. We don’t condone violence, racism, or any unlawful behavior that typically defines “hooliganism”. Instead, we will show up every home game, rain or shine, and cheer our lungs out until Pali emerges victorious. We have a blast and are currently making plans for the 2010 season, so join us this summer at Pali High for a fan experience like you’ve never imagined.
