1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Senor Rosetti blew to mark the start
Of Germany versus Spain
The moment to banish forty four years
Of much ache and pain

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Triumph for Iberian beauty
Over the teutonic beast
Whilst Madrid set plans to ordain
Luis Aragones the high priest

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Torres’ meticulousness against Lehmann
Bought about much merry carouse
Joined in joyous unison
By the deafening roar of the Scouse

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 A dour dire German show
Not many tears held back
Another forty years of wait
What price a gong for Ballack?

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Matadors rampant in Vienna
Symbol of a nations long held hope
As Monsieur Platini handed to Casillas
All hail the champions of Europe
