1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Beckham takes England, into the last eight!
Ecuador are defeated, it’s time to celebrate.
Sweet, the taste of victory in Stuttgart tonight!
The fans are revelling in it’s, sheer delight!
Going to face Portugal, in the quarter final show.
A win still required, or it’s out they go!
Make it happen, in Gelsenkirchen, today.
Earn a place in the semi’s, it’s one match away!
The critic’s state, your lucky to be here.
Only now you are and that’s quite clear!
Can you silence these people, once and for all?
On your strengths, this team needs to call.
Make our nation proud, here on this day.
Execute this team and take us all the way!
