FIFA HAS BEEN INEFFECTUAL

 

FIFA has been ineffectual

In its fight against Racism

In stark contrast with the rise

Of pan European Fascism

Who seem more likely to

Kick football out of Racism

 

I LIKE THE SPORTING BANTER

I like the sporting banter

Surrounding sporting Rivalry

But there is a fine line

Separating it from tribalry 

GOOD OLD FIFA

 

Good old FIFA

Are getting very fat

With a fee for this

And a fee for that

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

We were rubbish in South Africa

But we should stop the whining

For no matter how black the cloud

There is always a silver lining

 

We were rubbish in South Africa

And we get no second chance

But at least we can safely say

That we were not as bad as France

A DISAPPOINTING DRAW, ENGLAND 0, ALGERIA 0, - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

“We are disappointed with the draw

Against this piss poor team today”

“We consider it two points dropped”

Said a spokesman of the Algerian FA

INTRUDER ALERT - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

After security failures

In South Africa

Surrounding England

In particular

FIFA want to ascertain

How certain individuals

Could gain entry

Without credentials

To England’s dressing room

The ones causing most worry

Were Emile Heskey

Glen Johnson and Gareth Barry

BLATTER’S FOLLY

 

Everyone wants a video ref in the game

There are no dissenting voices I can name

Fans shout their support and managers want it

Players are in favour and even the refs want it

Because it is a change that really matters

Everybody wants its except Mr Blatter

CAPDEVILA, SPAIN 1, PORTUGAL 0, - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

Capdevila has reached the pinnacle

Of herculean World Cup feats

He has joined the pantheon

Of notorious world cup cheats

FIFA # 3

 

The beautiful game,

Is the life blood

Coursing through their veins

These guardians,

These stewards and rule makers

It fills their every waking moment

 

On the other hand

They actually think

 

Football

Is interesting

For

About a minute

FIFA # 2

 

Guardians of the game,

Well respected,

Famed for their integrity

Their stewardship and

Honest endeavour

 

On the other hand

 

Few

In

Football

Agree

FIFA # 1

 

Guardians of the game,

Holders of the purse strings

The doers of deals

Honest as the day is…..

 

On the other hand

 

Financially

Incongruous

Finagling

Acquiescence

THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB # 1

 

Rafa is staying at Anfield

So no new regime is brewing

There is no new job

That he is actively pursuing

And it’s a great relief

That no new club is wooing

The last thing Manchester wants

Is the prospect of Liverpool renewing

By employing a manager

Who actually knows what he’s doing

CRISIS? WHAT IS A CRISIS?

 

The FIFA barons

Just keep getting fatter

The fattest of all are

Warner and Blatter

And despite revelations

And newspaper chatter

The president contends

It’s an internal matter

FIFA HAS BEEN INEFFECTUAL

 

FIFA has been ineffectual

In its fight against Racism

In stark contrast with the rise

Of pan European Fascism

Who seem more likely to

Kick football out of Racism

A SWIFT EXIT - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

England left for the airport

On the wrong bus, apparently

For emblazoned on its side was

“Playing with pride and glory”

 

England’s bus was possibly stolen

You will recognize it quite easily

For emblazoned on its side is

“Playing with sloth and lethargy”

BLATTER’S FOLLY

 

Everyone wants a video ref in the game

There are no dissenting voices I can name

Fans shout their support and managers want it

Players are in favour and even the refs want it

Because it is a change that really matters

Everybody wants it except Mr Blatter

ENGLAND COACH - CAPELLO

 

The new England supremo

Mr Fabio Capello

Plans to take the England team

And fulfill our football dream

To raise English spirits up

And win the next world cup

But it would seem

This is just a silly dream

As the only way Mr Capello

The poor deluded fellow

Will take a team as far

As the finals in South Africa

The only way he can deliver

Is as the German team coach driver

FIFA # 5

 

The beautiful game,

Is the life blood

Coursing through their veins

These guardians,

These stewards and rule makers

It fills their every waking moment

 

On the other hand

They are:

 

Frauds

Interested in

Football

A little

THEY’RE HAVING A LAUGH - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

Cole and King were seen

Laughing hysterically

Just a few hours

After defeat to Germany

 

I saw no humour

In the way England plays

In fact I haven’t laughed

For the past two days

POINTING THE FINGER - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

We were predictable, disorganized, and poor

Our ineptitude was there for all to see

But as much as the players failed to turn up

And performed disappointingly

We were tactically bereft as well

Because Fabio Capello has no plan B
