WWC 2019 Semi-Final: Lyonesses

World Cup Winnie 2nd July 2019

we watched
and we willed;
a whole Nation –
that wanted to be thrilled

display wise, we were
of that, there is no doubt
but all that was missing
was a winning shout

VAR worked against us
but then went our way
only poor Steph Houghton (mighty captain)
couldn’t put the penalty away

valiant losers:
an all too familiar theme
but this Nation salutes
this laudable Ladies team
