The Open Thread/Daily Merengue is a place where you can discuss anything and everything related to football. Feel free to discuss the topics presented here, or start your very own discussions! The Open thread
will be posted every day by one of the mods you’d totally do a UCL night with: Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Kung_Fu_Zizou (AKA KFZ), Juninho, Ezek and, of course… yours truly.
Birthday Boy
So, Starboy Kylian turns 27. Right at the peak of his powers. The man’s been scoring left right and center, essentially carrying this team, which, to be fair, has been underperforming.
