Spills and Thrills From Russia 2018

Beautiful game, crazy game that draws maximum adrenalin From hypnotized, soccer crazy minds Glued to television screens to gobble spills and thrills from Russia with hopes lean Driven to the brink of despair behind Venetian blinds Betting, arguing, opposing, supporting Non African teams that their subjective minds favour Jibing, imbibing, consulting, insulting African teams their fickle fantasies endeavor To predict wouldn’t win A single match based on mere whims That claim an African queen Throws her royal weight behind teams A particular set of soccer fans deem fit To take the day While another set of soccer mad warmth seekers claim African teams should quit Cos they lose and embarrass supporters everyday With their lacklustre form Lack of determination to spring a bit of magic Although some supporters claim a reform Needed to put to an end to the tragic Performance African team display at the World Cup in Russia Becoming whipping boys But argues a wisecracker, ‘Shouldn’t forget Algeria beat Prussia In Spain. So, African teams ain’t no toys.’
