England Won a Penalty Shootout

Many years of dreaming and searching
Will this be the year we finally stop hurting? 
I can't believe these words are coming from my mouth 
I can finally say England won a penalty Shootout

Three lions on our shirt and we won't be caged
This will be the year we perform on the biggest stage
In every game teamwork is vital 
But here we are ready for the quarter final 

We've Made it further than Argentina, Germany and Spain
Who needs a Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo when you have Harry Kane 
Give the ball to Lingard, Alli or Marcus Rashford 
Then they'll assist Kane to score

Football is all I've ever cared about, the world cup is the greatest show
During each game our confidence will grow
It could all go wrong with one mistake 
But we know we're going to win as we have Gareth Southgate 

It's no longer a secret, it's now known
That football is coming home
We're going all the way, I don't have any doubt
We're winning the world cup, because we finally won a penalty Shootout

Hi Alex. I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. It was great to see us win a penalty shoot-out for once. Pity about the semi-final but more optimistic about the future again now.

Glad you liked it. Yeah it was amazing, the first one I've seen us win so it was a shock, yeah shame about the semi, but the lads done the country proud, but this team and manager could lead us to success in the future
