Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Battle for the Cup

48 teams started the journey
All hoping to go far in the tourney
 But one by one they were sent home
 Soon 2 will be left to battle for the throne

 France has booked their ticket once again
 Only to face the formidable Spain
 Its a semifinal sure to thrill
 As both teams show their skill

England and Norway will vie for a semi-final spot  today
 Will the 'Vikings 'the '3 Lions' slay?
 Argentina and Switzerland will also battle for a spot
 Argentina is sure to come out on top

Andrea Dietrich July 29, 2026 at 2:12 PM Looks like someone is really into soccer! I see from what Victor says that Spain won. I am glad of that because I spent time there in my college days. Semester abroad in Madrid. Spain was so fantastic

Victor Buhagiar July 20, 2026 at 1:22 AM It is a pity there was so much cheating with FIFA. Glad Spain won.
