1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In the Euros’ first week, the tension was tight,
No easy games, every team had to fight.
Portugal edged the Czech’s, just by a hair,
A 2-1 victory, nerves in the air.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Denmark and Slovenia, an entertaining draw,
One goal each, leaving fans wanting more.
England met Serbia, a 1-0 affair,
The Three Lions squeaked by, after a scare.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Italy faced Albania, a game tight as can be,
A 2-1 result, but no room for glee.
Holland met Poland in a thrilling affair,
Another 2-1, both teams did their share.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 France nudged past Austria, a 1-0 feat,
An own goal gave them victory, barely tasted sweet.
Belgium faltered, Slovakia took pride,
A shocking 1-0, with the Belgians denied.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 So in the first week of action, the drama’s begun,
There’s no easy games here, well, maybe just one.
Germany beat Scotland, five-one, with ease,
Leaving the tartan army down on their knees.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 The next round of games are now underway,
Every team will be hopeful of extending their stay.
Fans will enjoy more bratwurst and beer,
But let’s not forget, there’s no easy games here.
