Sie Sind Die Besten : 6 July 2024

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

With the rising of the tide new heroes emerge.

Aurelien, the Incredible

France crawled over the line once again in what was made an even worse display by the spectacle that preceded it. Tchouameni remains one of the bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming and uninspiring French side.

France will have to be more clinical against Spain in the Semifinal if they are to have any chance of reaching the final.

Indomitable

Dani Carvajal is a special player. It feels like yesterday when joined the first team and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. We finally had a back 4. No disrespect to Arbeloa. In many ways Dani completed the team and has contributed to the most successful period we’re ever likely to witness.

I had expected Carvajal to be a huge obstacle for Germany in the Euro QF. In the end Dani will miss the SF against France but it was all or nothing. And as ever, Dani gave it his all. Spain will face yet another stern test against France for a place in the final. RESPECT!

GOATNESS

Kroos returned to the German national team and seemed to breathe life into them. Suddenly Nagelsmann didn’t have to be a mad scientist playing Havertz at wingback. There was calm, consistency and belief. The Germans played in what will likely remain the best match of Euro 2024 against a superior La Furia Roja and they just about came up short.
