France Took the Crown

France beat Argentina four to three
 In that game Mbappe was the key
 Then they defeated Uruguay two goals to nil
 As Uruguay's goalie let one spill

 In the semis it was Belgium they faced
 France headed one in with victory's embrace
They were in the finals, but who would they play
 Would England beat Croatia and win the day?

 As it turned out, the three lions couldn't roar
 They were coming home with no trophy in store
So the final was set, Croatia and France
 Two great teams would get their chance

 In the finals France took a free kick
 But when the Croatian defender did a head flick
 The ball ended up in his own goal!
 It seemed France would be on a roll

 Croatia responded with a brilliant strike
 It traveled so fast, it was rocket-like
But France added 3 more to the score
 And they lifted the trophy once more!
