Sportsmanship more
The football world’s fractured with war
Over Video Assistant VAR,
If in sports as in life
Things scarce are sharp as knife,
What use all this ‘against’ or ‘for’?
Tempers do on games soar,
Should they be football lore?
Hail loss-win less, sportsmanship more.

Note: VAR= Video Assistant Referee. The Football World Cup round of 16 between Argentina and Egypt was marred with controversy what with stakes so high causing tempers to rise. This ditty suggests less focus on loss and win and more on sportsmanship.
