Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

The Americans Will Not Win the Cup

Americans won't be competing for the World Cup anymore.
The boys from Belgium sent them right out the door.
The red, white, and blue, were done in by the red, yellow, and black.
The Belgians sported a very potent offensive attack.
Yes, the final score was Belgium 4, USA 1.
The home grown guys were certainly undone.
Some American soccer fans may be shedding tears.
Their team has to wait for another four years.

Jan Allison July 7, 2026 at 12:26 PM well written Robert, to be honest I am thrilled they got knocked out after the red card fiasco with the orange orangutan muscling in! the potus hasn't even acknowledged the defeat which speaks volumes! hugs Jan xx
