Plucky Jamaica shocks the Copa America winners, Brazil, in a scoreless draw that propels the Reggae Girlz to the knockout stage for the first time in only their second Women’s World Cup, and with only one goal in Group stage. Contrast that with Brazil’s first group-stage exit since the 1995 World Cup. Not the best way for Brazil’s mighty Marta Vieira da Silva to end her sixth and final Women’s World Cup.
beautiful chaos
‘how the mighty have fallen’—
Reggae Girlz advance

Poetry notes:
"Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen" is a phrase that originates from 2 Samuel 1:19, an expression of David's lament over the death of Saul and Jonathan. It is also used today as a phrase to imply the decline of a once-great person or entity.

He walked down the high street in tropical Havana
Where he spotted a bar named the Copa Cabana
The weather was hot he could do with a drink
An ice cold beer and some time to think
However did he finish up in a country like Cuba ?
Was down to a jazz musician who plays the tuba
The jazz man told him of those fancy cigars
To watch and admire the old and vintage cars
He liked Cuba and would stay another week
The night-time dancing was certainly cheek to cheek
One thing though he really wanted to know
How did this country ever be ruled by Castro

Ashley best describes himself as,
Cheeky, funny and also happy as,
He’s a student at South Bank Uni,
Of sports coaching in London city.
He is a very keen table tennis player,
Started playing in primary, 7th year,
And just missed out on London 2012,
But was at Rio 2016 with his helve.
2013 and Ashley won many bronzes:
Italy, Hungary and had Czech ounces;
So in 2014 Ashley won UK nationally,
In class 8-9 singles, phenomenally.
Then breakthrough: Slovenian Open.
In the team event, you’re no token,
And at the Cote d’Azur International,
Ashley won 2 bronzes medals brutal.
In 2015 he won in the team events,
Had Italian, HU, CZ and DE tents,
And in Denmark reached the quarters,
At the European Champs, garters.
In Copa, Costa Rica, in the singles,
He took silver in swift class 9 jingles,
And in Rio made the quarters, team,
With K Daybell. He’s Erbs palsy lean.

Levanté mis ojos
y todo cuanto vi fue
un incendio de cruces en
la parte baja del puerto.
Entonces sentí
en el alma la angustia
de un ángel ***** que
gritaba grandes cosas.
Rebusqué entre
las piedras una angosta
hendidura para ocultarme.
De los pantanos
neblinosos salieron
precipitadas hordas
de escorpiones armados
de pestes y de
temerosas desgracias.
Como la sombra de un
silencio salvaje,
sobre la copa del sol,
entonces la luna vertió
todo el tejido de su
nauseabunda sangre.

Hey, ms tallywoman, tall me bananas
I'm so split mit vanilla and chocolate
And riven with grief.
I promise to play nices
And disable my vices.
I know hoo yoo are - you're Lola the showgirl
Banging and banging out rhythms and rhymes
At the Copa, Copa Cabaaananas (in Cuba)
The best gesture of my brain is less than the tilde in all your mananas.
