Spain Triumph ~ WWC23
so near yet so far
what a tournament it’s been
Spain a class above
WWC23~The Gold
The Gold is near
Someone will be the winner
“The Ladies don’t fear” I sing
Congratulations to the Lionesses
The Gold is near
Someone wil be the winner
The Ladies don’t fear
Time To Bring it Home ~ WWC 23
there again at last
Lionesses on the brink
time to bring it home ~
(Australia 1-3 England)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cagey from the start
settled in the late last show
La Roja are through
(Spain 2-1 Sweden)
Australia Nigeria Japan & Spain Through WWC ’23
~ Canada 0-4 Australia ~
waltzing on they go
bold Matildas find their best
Canada are out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Ireland 0-0 Nigeria ~
flying safely through
Super Falcons battle on
Ireland win respect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Japan 4-0 Spain ~
Japan top the group
Spain collapse but still survive
after four goal blitz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Costa Rica 1-3 Zambia ~
in this dead rubber
Zambia impress too late
as both team depart
Fratelli d’Italia.
A re-ignited Spain, should be applauded
Their efforts praised, and rightly lauded
Luis Enrique (of Gijon), prepped a proper mustard team
Hats off to an out of sorts Alvaro Morata
A shadow up-front, an area he often failed to flatter
Whom under death-threats, kept alive a nation’s dream.
Once again, Italy, catenaccio in their DNA
Stand resolute (as one) to seize the day
Tis a sight to see a committed team defend for fun?
Yet despite the classic Italian counter attacks
I thought Forza Azzurri might well win the match…
Witnessing their incandescent Fratelli d’Italia sung.
Italy Spot On ~ Day 20 SF Euro 2020 haiku
Italy spot on
toe to toe they ebb and flow
Spain leave heads held high
We’ve Won in Rome. We’ve Won in Rome…
In there, fighting still
Beating Ukraine four goals to nil
On a balmy night in The Eternal City…Rome.
Time to shower, board a plane
Fly back to Blighty, face The Danes
On Wednesday night in our Eternal Home.
Say…we dispatch the marauding Danes?
Are we a match for Italia or Spain?
On current form? I’d say the answers…yes.
Tis looking like this could be our year?
Let’s raise the roof, scream aloud n cheer,
Support the chaps…in their quest for success.
On the subject of success, though I digress,
Please raise a glass, come Monday next,
To 73 years, of our absolutely blinding…NHS.
We’ve won in Rome
We’ve won in Rome
We won four-nil, last night in Rome!
The road goes ever on, t’wards our Eternal Home.
Simón saves for Spain ~ Day 18 Euro 2020 haiku
Simón saves for Spain
stretched and tight they win on pens
ten men Swiss are rolled
Five Star Spain Again .Day 16 Euro 2020 haiku
five star Spain again
Croatian fightback falls short
Morata the key
Spain & Sweden’s Day 13 ~ Euro 2020 haiku
Spain ignite at last
five goals stun Slovakia
San Miguels ahoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forsberg fires Swedes on
Lewandowski’s late late strikes
not enough for Poles

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
