The teams from all over the world,
Met down and under the world,
They came from Asia, Africa, Europe,
Latin America, North America, and all over the world.
The Women were young girls, stout and healthy,
In every game, they showed their vigor and muscle,
The expressions of scored goal were portrait kept in heart,
A missed goal was a heartbreak, they still tried their best.
Every game was delightful to watch,
The faces showed the expression of kicks,
Size and stature did not make any difference,
Tackle, passing, headers, and shots, what made all the difference,
Being a sport fan, I salute all the teams,
No matter who won, you all were my winners.
Knockout stage
Women’s World Cup
Sweden
versus U. S.
In regulation
nil-nil score,
ditto
extra time—
P Ks
To decide—
U. S. A.
three missed kicks seal fate
Kudos to Musovic
and
The Blue and Yellow!
Ponytails
Swishing madly,
Hurdling across the pitch.
Beads of sweat
Spraying in spirals
As fingers point,
Shouting directions
To strikers, wingers, and defensemen.
Defensewomen, really.
Get back!
Push it!
Don't lose form!
Take the shot!
Grazing past the clown gloves.
Concaving the thick nylon.
Back of the net glory!
Now run around like giddy school girls
For exactly 8 seconds.
Now mark your man!
Woman, really.
No whiners here.
No floppers allowed.
What's this look like,
Men's soccer? Pansies.
The beautiful game is proof that
The real soccer men
Are women.
You know what soccer football needs?
Bigger Goals!
An extra meter on each side of the posts.
Bigger Goals means More Goals!
With goals shot from wider out,
the game then would be far less defensive
with less endless back passing,
and shuffling the deck at the back.
Going All in for Goals,
would produce fairer results,
with less flukes and freaky results
holding the sway.
Imagine scores of 5-7, 10-8, 3-7!
What fans want to see is more goals!
What players want is more attacking football
and fairer results,
with more goals from their great shots, some from wider out.
Its so easily done, just shift the goals posts
out wider by a meter on each side.
What the World Cup Needs Now is
Goals, Goals, Goals!
My team lost – 32-0.
But in my defense
It was just me
Against the whirring windmill
Of a seven year old.
I told her I was
70 years older than her
She laughed and said
“just play the game Papa,
Just play the game”

A short stout figure in the forward line of attack,
dribbled with the darting ball on the green turf.
With the magnetic pair of fleeting legs like a wizard,
spearheaded the formidable formation of the team.
The opponent defenders had to invent new strategy
to thwart your crafty moves leading to the goalpost,
but you could make your way foiling all their attempts
to see the ball flash and hit the net behind the bars.
You were the backbone of your country’s team of fame,
that you led to winning many prestigious tournaments.
A legend in life time, you were the pride of Argentina,
in the history of football you’ll live forever, Maradona.

A hero is a villain
to the side that just got beat.
Great futbol heroes score big goals,
most use their head or feet.

Limitations
"A man has to learn his limitations."
Dirty Harry in Magnum Force!
I like to play big and realize I can't.
I know what it takes for me to post
a poem and do comments.
No ten second jobs here, not ever!
So, I have to stop beating a dead horse
and move to the rear.-))
And enjoy the ride for the time I
have left here!
With regrets,
Panagiota
Soccer football is a great game
But the scoring is tame and lame
Too much left to chance, a low-goal-count shame.
So what can be done to reclaim its fame?
Make the goal posts wider to more goals claim
Add a yard to the goal width, to make a 9 yard wide frame.
The World Game would be less defensive
Players could shoot from further out
All those near misses to the side would go in!
More goals would make the game fairer in outcome
The fans would love it
More goals for fans to see
A great game, the world game, made better
You'll see.
You take the shot, the goalie dives, you score!!
