THE FOURTH.. : 4 JULY 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

It’s that time of the year when players come and go. A lot of the youngsters will find themselves away from Valdebebas looking to make a way for themselves in the top flight or first division.

Rafa Marin - Off to Naples

Real Madrid youngsters Rafa Marin and Nico Paz were some of the highly-rated Castilla players in recent years. Both made debuts with the first team. Both will have to develop their craft away from the Bernabeu and hopefully return at a later stage with more maturity and experience. We can only wish them well.

The Leny Yoro Affair

As is commonly the case these days, players have to make it abundantly clear to the club they want to leave and that they will leave. It remains up to Lille if they want to lose him for free or lower their asking price.

Scandalous Copa

A clear foul was not called by the VAR in Brazil’s Copa tie against Colombia. Vinicius should have had a penalty but of course Copa officiating has standards to uphold. Trash refereeing.

Pintus the Torcherer

One of the club’s most important signings..
