WC Final: 19 July 2026

The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d 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, Ezek, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack.

Spain vs Argentina

After a month and a few day, World Cup reaches its end today with the final between Spain vs Argentina.

Which NT are you supporting today? As a Brazilian, definitely Spain — despite Spain having more connections to Barcelona than Real Madrid.

If Argentina win today, they will have 4 titles and will be one title away from reaching Brazil. Besides, they won in 2022; I don’t want Brazil’s greatest rival in football to win back to back World Cups (especially in the year Brazil arguably made one of the worst WCs in several years).

Mbappe’s message to Deschamps

Before France vs England, Mbappe posted the following message as Deschamps is leaving France NT after 14 years

Everything indicates that Zidane is taking over as head coach. A report says he is planning to have a very large staff, of 25 people. Let’s see if this is true.
