a well organised machine
worthy champions.

humiliated at home
let in seven goals.

they cheated the referees
chief culprit Robben.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Then there was Suarez
who brought his bite to Brazil
he’s chewy Luis.

came with low expectations
and that’s what we got.

the magical free kick spray
get behind white line.

were such a joy to behold
they never give up.

of the highest quality

sorry but they picked it wrong
Lionel not the best.

thanks for a wonderful time
what a football treat !

Notes

So it’s come to an end a month long football carnival.
But it will go down as one of the best ever,as it had everything.
Goals,great games,dives,bites,characters,magic spray,dodgy refs,pitch intruders,Sepp Blatter,(boo) and of course great performances from the minnow nations. I’m missing it already !
