1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 This match was definitely three-dimensional,
with length and breadth though not a lot of height.
The lack of depth, I’m sure, was unintentional
but deeper meanings did not come to light.
Schweinsteiger had considerable girth
and Neuer loomed as large as any man.
Hümmels threw his girdle round the earth
and finished off the move with great élan.
But something was amiss, the viewers thought.
The match was not the greatest we had seen.
Dimension-wise, it fell a little short
and didn’t leap out of the TV screen.
It’s hard to figure out the reason that
this quarter final seemed a little flat.
