1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Two countries that are famous for their many lofty peaks;
two countries hoping that they’ll be here more than just two weeks;
two countries in the shadows of much more successful neighbours;
two countries hoping that they’ll reap the produce of their labours.
two countries hoping that their players quickly learn to gel;
two countries that have attitude and altitude as well.
But thanks to that late winner at the end of stoppage time,
it’s Ecuador that seem to have a mountain still to climb
