Chasing the Dream

France is the stage for the drama to come Victory for others and defeat for some Chasing the dream to be number one As up and down the field they run The "Matildas" got a much needed win After defeating Brazil three to two They will play today, an when the match begins They are hoping the 'Reggae Girlz' dont give them the blues Brazil will battle Italy in a do or die A loss may bring them to tears As samba rhythms rise to the sky Victory could be theirs if they dare The World Cup trophy is the most prized of all In a game most call football This month, the women will give it a whirl To see who will be crowned queens of the world! 6-18-19 2019 Fifa Women's World Cup Contest Sponsor: Mark Toney Matildas: Nickname for Australian Soccer Team Reggae Girlz: Nickname for Jamaican Soccer Team.

I like the rhyme and the flow of this account, Joseph. And, as a bonus, I even found out some of what's going on in the World Cup, whereas I'm usually clueless! Thanks for the education. :) gw
