A QUICK BITE – BRAZIL 2014

 

Luis Suarez thought the response

To his biting Chiellini quite amazing

He couldn’t understand the outcry

As for a cannibal he was only grazing

HEROES RETURN – BRAZIL 2014

 

England will fly home

Into Glasgow Airport

Thus ensuring, a heroes

Welcome of a sort

I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD COME

 

I never thought the day would come

In fact I would have thought it absurd

When the Football sense of “Brazilian”

Wasn’t the most popular use of the word  

WHEN I SAW MR MESSI PLAY

 

When I saw Mr Messi play

I was disappointed I must say

I had to take a second look

But he was nothing like in the book

AN ITALIAN NIBBLE – BRAZIL 2014

 

Suarez should be hungry

Like all strikers

But for goals

And not other players

I LIVE IN A SMALL WINDMILL

 

I live in a small windmill

I’ve never lived in one before

It’s in a little seaside town

On the promenade by the shore

It’s nice, apart from the golf balls

That keep coming thru the door

THE MAGYARS CAME TO PLAY

 

In nineteen fifty three

The Magyars came to play

Bamboozling Billy Wright

The Beckham of his day

When Puskás dragged back

He made Billy Wright esquire

Look like a fire engine

Heading towards the wrong fire

 

On 25 November 1953, at Wembley Stadium

England 3 Hungary 6, Ferenc Puskás scored twice

BEND IT LIKE URI –BRAZIL 2014

 

The reason England failed

So says a guy in a Favela

“It’s all the fault of that

Spoon bending fella”

“We’d have won if we hadn’t

Snubbed Uri Gellar”

BRAZIL 1970

 

The Brazil side was

The best I’ve ever seen

They were the best

Team that’s ever been

 

Pele, Rivelino and

Jairzinho, Holy Trinity

Of the Champions

In Nineteen seventy

BRAZIL

 

The Brazil of old

Used to be a team of flow

A samba side with flare

Pass and move, give and go

 

The modern Brazil

Though, are a team of guile

Deceit and cunning

Replacing the cavalier style

 

The Twenty fourteen Brazil

Are a team of moments

But if they fail in them

They fail in tournament’s

TODAY’S PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS

I think today’s professional footballers

Worry far too much about their hairstyle

And should pay as much attention to detail

On the training ground once in a while
