Bloodsweat on straining muscles
In jerseys bold and bright
Lusty cheers to flame the tussles
On fields marked out in white.
The golden gods of soccer whistle
Every sporting soul is caught
Bewitched by a month long battle
Over each ball fiercely fought.
The nations show off skill and spirit
The crowds shout their fervour
Hats off to the players of grit
Cheers to dives of valour.
Angry jeers at every pickle
Tears over shock defeat
Bets on Spain, Brazil, Portugal
All off in the summer heat.
The precious sleep we sacrifice
As idols conquer or fall
Our dazed heads and glazed eyes
Offerings to the gilded ball.
Now ends the drama and action
Our routine’s back on track
But from the season of passion
Life’s lessons in a pack.
