WC2018 Day 7 – haiku

big boys out in force
Ronaldo, Suarez, Costa
who else of course

~ # ~

one-nil common score
Morocco and Saudi out
alas already

~ # ~

somersault throw-in
we all wanted to see it
aborted desires

~ # ~

Gareth jog amiss
Southgate restrained by shoulder
no more punching air

1-0~ 1-0~ 1-0 haiku-WC Day 7

Portugal 1-0 Morocco

like some one man team
Ronnie breaks Moroccan hearts
only four mins in

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uruguay 1-0 Saudi Arabia

Suarez is the key
Saudis toothless lock is picked
Uruguay march on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Iran 0-1 Spain

Costa on the bounce
knees one in past brave Iran
who gave ev’rything

Late Late Hat-Trick haiku-WC Day 2

Egypt 0-1 Uruguay

toothless Suarez finds
La Celeste left lacking bite
til that late late goal

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Morocco 0-1 Iran

95 upon the clock
in another late late show
settled by own goal

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Cristianogal 3-3 Spain

early and late late
Ronaldo lights up the night
as only he can

World Cup day 2

Day 2

Unlucky Pharaohs sucker punched

Egypt 0-1 Uruguay

There’s a mystery in Ekaterinburg
Where missing seats are aplenty
Suarez looked well sluggish
But Cavani is equally lively

Carlos Sanchez’s free kick
Evades the rookie El Shenawy
Giménez heads in for Uruguay
A first opening win since 1970

We saw a defensive masterclass
Egypt now look to get on track
Godin was simply flawless
But Salah will soon be back

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No boots, no sweat

Morocco 0-1 Iran

So a second African team
Succumbed to a late strike
Iran win with seconds to spare
To stick two fingers up at Nike

It may have been to Queiroz
“The hardest group of the World Cup”
With only a second ever win
His team are surely on the up

Again this one settled late
No boots, no sweat
Aziz Bouhaddouz defending a set piece
Heading into his own net

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ronaldo 3-3 Spain

Portugal 3-3 Spain

At the table of Ronaldo
The whole of Portugal sups
He’s now the fourth ever player
To score at four World Cups

Penalty gold in the first half
Who else but Ronaldo
Two from the bullish Costa
A swerving screamer from Nacho

I called it the moment the ref blew
Ronnie’s 51st career hat trick
This thrilling Group B opener
Squared with a vicious late free kick
