Was no doubt very happy
When France spoiled England's fun
By beating them by two goals to one.
The Croatians
Exceeded expectations
When the favourites, Brazil,
Displayed inferior penalty-kicking skill.
Morocco also prevailed
When the Lusitanians failed.
It's a time of unease
For those who speak Portuguese.1 member likes this

In Doha's opulent arena
Concluded the World Cup in Qatar
With Lionel Messi its greatest star.
The French équipe
Seemed at first to be half asleep.
They improved greatly in the second half,
But Argentina had the last laugh.
For Germany and Spain
The tournament was a bit of a pain,
Though their chagrin was perhaps mollified
By the fact that Italy hadn't even qualified.
England's Harry Kane
Kicked one penalty, but missed when he tried again.
The manager, Southgate, said: "The mind plays tricks –
It happened to me at Euro '96".
Protestors showed bravery
In alleging constructors' slavery.
"Get out!" cried the Qatari authorities,
"You have a warped sense of priorities".
One broadcaster said: "In Qatar
I can tell those sheikhs how beastly they are".
But another retorted: "That's funny –
Why go there and accept their money?"
Gary Lineker of the BBC
(A former player, well known on TV)
Is thought by some to be too woke,
But he seems quite a decent bloke.
It's all been rather mad –
A dazzling mixture of good and bad.
Great for the rich, hell for the poor,
But hey, pecunia loquitur.1 member likes this

Has a moral rating close to zero,
But his penchant for capricious killing
Is what some historians find thrilling.
Yahweh, aka Jehovah,
Said "I will erupt like a supernova
If my commandments are disrespected".
"Art Thou not merciful?" Moses objected.1 member likes this
