Excitement is brewing for the play-off game, who to claim a podium close-up fame, winner of 2018 21st FIFA World Cup's name. Scheduling and planning their dream to cheer on their favorite team. Fans at the game watching united, dressed in their lucky sports team attire, delighted, cold, getting rained on, and excited. Television armchair football enthusiast muttering, "C-o-o-l call. Revenge at last." He follows every move, wishing he was there, but at home watching on his big screen, a bear. Everyone in the stadium is bouncing off the walls, inspiring cheers and rants, raves and calls. While the Armchair enthusiast with his own calls, within his walls his soul appalls. The hero standing in the middle of a melee, with a thin breeze around the football field, using a Cruyff Turn spin, then brilliantly threading the ball home winning the World Cup for his country. It’s only the beginning. 6/25/2018
The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930 for except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War, a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945.

The man was amazing with his mesmerizing spin, Cruyff was his name and his claim to fame. It's quite amazing that this Highlander James, emulated more and the same. One thing I could do so much more than my friends, I could take a ball into different trends, wowzers. Your poem Eve, much more than the rest, if I was less shy, with luck I could've become, one of the rest. Awesome piece, apologies for dribbling xx congrats - James - I passed onto my three sons xxx

Eve, congratulations on making the contest a success! This is the first time I've seen your video and photo with the poem. How exciting! I loved the way you contrasted the fans at the game with the armchair enthusiast. And that phrase, "using a Cruyff Turn spin." Now I see you have the video of it. Nicely done!
