Fifa World Cup

FIFA WORLD CUP

       What’s up! FIFA world cup! Most exciting game,
          always claiming international fame.
         Top players wining legendary name.
        
        Kick the ball, kick- kick: Snaps taken click-click.
                Some trying to play trick, some on hatrick.
                Cheerful spectators on fun and frolic.

            Expert players playing terrible tough.
            Extreme tension, temperament rough.
            Can’t assess whether effort is less or enough.
 
                   Players and spectators both in worry.
                    What to come up at the end of story?
                     Playing in world cup demands glory.  

                Red or yellow card: Penalty, Foul or Corner.
                 Despair of opponent or rejoice of supporter.
                  Victory or defeat does not really matter.
               
                  Nothing to lose, hence not to get upset.    
                   Participants in World Cup are grand great.
                  Winner will be decided by chance or fate.
             
              World- wide enthusiasm, each player in merit.
             Coordination on team work is the right credit.
             Above all, aspirant zeal is the sporting spirit.
        
           2018 World cup! Final contestants: Croatia and France.
            Eagle eyes of world-wide viewers watching performance.
             With wonderful world cup which lucky team will dance?
            
        Grand Finale! Game over! Field front all quiet clear.
             Series of matches: Splendid Superb Spectacular.
            Song of victory sung in symphony in French vernacular.

Anisha, congratulations on making the contest a success! I love the second stanza and also the last stanza, especially the final line: "Song of victory sung in symphony in French vernacular." Vive la France! Sorry Croatia, nothing personal :)
