The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name!

Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Ezek lx, NeRObutBlanco and YoSnail

You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it..

Vinicius and the Selecao

Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao start for Brazil. Rodrygo nowhere in sight. Brazil managed a 1-1 draw after Emerson and the Ecuador GK were sent off early in the fixture. Brazil GK had his sending off overturned during the crazy opening half of the game.

Fede starts for Uruguay in key qualifier against Paraguay

Fede’s Uruguay have kept their World Cup hopes alive with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay

Courtois and Lunin with that work

Aurelien on the way?

Aaand another one?

Talk about earning your money. Juni Calafat is on the job. It looks like Real Madrid are looking to setup numerous transfers for the summer. There’s bound to be a lot of departures from the Bernabeu in the summer of 2022. Isco, Bale, Marcelo, Vallejo and Dani Ceballos will in all likelihood walk out the front door at the end of the current season. Mr Calafat has to bring the club options to fill those squad places.
