Forever Wars | April 13, 2026

Welcome to The Daily Merengue — 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!

> “**Forever wars**” (or perpetual wars) are conflicts with no clear exit strategy or definition of victory, often involving ongoing, low-level tensions, and non-state actors in **shifting**, long-term battles.

It’s clear as day here, that we have forever wars here. Involving players, coaches, our club/board etc. As a result, there’s no such thing as healing or moving on here. Just relapse after relapse. The forever faction wars are just as bad, if not worse, than a career changing ACL injury to a player. At least, the ACL/Injury will heal after several months to a year. Meanwhile, the faction wars can continue for several years and often never die.

Don’t let the never ending faction-distraction wars, make you not be able to appreciate the fact that we now have a 40+ goal a season scorer in our ranks again in Kylian Mbappe. At one point, it looked like we would have to accept less goals from our forwards, individually. But not anymore, the clinical bar has been raised up again for a Real Madrid forward. The standard of Midfield needs to be raised again from whence it’s fallen.

This is our last chance at a trophy this season. Don’t let anybody make you think that lots of money is a good motivator, they’ve not watched a Real Madrid game lately. If the millions in paychecks aren’t enough to make you give your all for the club. And If the players don’t want any more blame than they’ve already received. Then i don’t know what’s a good incentive other than to fight for each other and win. If any player needs a coach to sell them in on that, they should be playing tennis, not football.
