World Cup Open Thread | June 25, 2026

The Daily Merengue is your spot to chat about everything football. The strong Real Madrid bias isn’t a surprise—it’s right there in the name! Big thanks to the moderators who keep the discussions lively and smooth: Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco, Felipejack, Ezek Ix, and of course, Valyrian Steel.

This World Cup has given us a lot to celebrate. Three matches, three Men of the Match awards—quite impressive. The excitement keeps building on and off the pitch.

By the way, some of these player prices seem steep, don’t they? We think that might spark some debate as the tournament moves forward.
