Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Uruguay 0 - France 2

Uruguay bad day
Les Bleus take total control-
France-Belgium showdown

Brazil 1 - Belgium 2

Brazil's own-goal gaffe
brilliant Belgium bests Brazil...
Belgium comes of age

Sweden 0 - England 2

Swedes hit Pickford wall
England's clean sheet victory
"...coming home" -maybe

Russia 2 (3) - Croatia 2 (4)

Russia's journey ends
Croatia show nerves of steel...
showdown with England

Thanks, grand idea. I see you are recalling 1966, when the INVENTORS took the cup. Long drought ... our Mother Country needs us now to pray for victory. Sports unites, while teams fight. amen

Grand idea, indeed. France has punched their ticket to the final. England vs France would be lovely. Tomorrow will tell.
