Long Hot Summer : 17 June 2024
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, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Kung_Fu_Zizou
The Blues open their Euro24 campaign.
Looking to win the tournament for the first time since 2000.
France are favourites boasting experience and talent in equal measure moreso than any other squad in the competition.
Yet.. France have often been their own worst enemy
The Captains
Gluten-Free Renewal
Real Madrid don't really have options for RB. If Dani decided to leave, we'd be in a hole. But it would be the first time. Hopefully the club starts seriously looking for RBs.
He's got the dawg in him
This is that Jordan-esque confidence. The ambition is raw. You wouldn't have it any other way for a player like Jude. He's polite but he's got that beast inside. The burning desire to be the best. Not the fluffy hopes and dreams.. The real on the grind, down to the bone, numb to pain in the heat of battle, will to victory level of desire!
Raul wasn't having it
Iker Bravo dropped down to Juvenil A after failing to impress Raul. One would have imagined that Iker was learning from one of the best to ever do it.
Bravo gives us a first glimpse into Arbeloa the manager from the inside.
This is why Zizou isn't coaching anymore
He's having too much fun plus he's got time with his family. He'll only take a job for personal reasons like Real Madrid or the France team. Hopefully this sentiment changes. Nobody is expecting him to win a CL threepeat with another club but just having Zidane in football makes the world a better place.
