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 love to treat to Mexican cuisine: Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Kung_Fu_Zizou (AKA KFZ), Juninho and, of course… yours truly.
Of Course it Had to Happen
Just when the attacking unit of the team – well more like the entire team – started to gain synergy, Mbappe got injured. Me personally though, I think he should have been taken off with the game entering the (seemingly) cruise control phase.

Getting Emotional Yet?
