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.

Rodrygo is staying – report

Brazil NT list: no Real Madrid players
Ancelotti announced Brazil NT list for upcoming Fifa break. Despite early reports that Militão and Rodrygo would be called-up, no Real Madrid players were included. Vini’s absence was also reported – he is suspended in the first game, so Ancelotti decided not to call him. Carlo replied why Rodrygo was left out:
I have a lot of love for him. Yesterday he played very well for Real Madrid. It was his first game after a long time, so he still has time to recover and return to the national team.
A player who plays in the national team must be in 100% physical condition. This is a very important criteria. If a player is not 100%, I can call another one without any problem.
