Premium Member Battle for the Cup

48 teams started the journey
All hoping to go far in the tourney
 But one by one they were sent home
 Soon 2 will be left to battle for the throne

 France has booked their ticket once again
 Only to face the formidable Spain
 Its a semifinal sure to thrill
 As both teams show their skill

England and Norway will vie for a semi-final spot  today
 Will the 'Vikings 'the '3 Lions' slay?
 Argentina and Switzerland will also battle for a spot
 Argentina is sure to come out on top

My Final Chance

When I was seventh-grade in school
It was my childhood paradise dream
To be a chess champion in the campus
To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Every year I participate in sport events
Everyone will have a replaceable moment
Srujan is the only one who always beat me
To be the best, he won four consecutive years

For the first time, I lost in the semifinal
The next three years, I lost in the finales
Losing always hurts me the most, and
This will be my last chance after two years gap

In my era of school out of hundreds of students
My friend Srujan and I have always been the best
But now it's different I have to prove myself in college
Enough is enough; I need a striking victory.
