Fifa Womens World Cup 2023

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

2023 Fifa Womens World Cup - Australia Vs France

Both France and Australia were nil-nil until extra time when Aussie Alanna Kennedy’s misdirected header during a corner kick produced an own goal for France. The goal was disallowed for a foul inside the box by a French player.  But Australia had more than luck on their side.  Aussie goalie, Mackenzie Arnold, was

Fifa World Cup 2023

For two weeks, at all hours, I watched FIFA games
Familiarizing myself with all the players' names
But I won't be viewing the World Cup anymore
after the favored U. S. team was unable to score

Too much drama was promoted, so it would seem
over not singing the National Anthem, but I'd deem
their focus was on winning, as I

Women's World Cup 2023 - Comp

It's a ball and you kick it
Seems simple enough
But it's more than a game
'cos you have to be tough

I'm not talking a buzz-cut
Or some scars from a fight
For this resolve is internal
Overlook it, you might

You may cuss, scowl or spit
That doesn't impress
Now this game's claimed by women
Swapping shorts from a dress

And the girls that will

Beyond Greatness - 1st Place, Fifa Women World Cup Poetry Contest

Raise your banners, peals of the orients 
Maidens of fairness and might 
Make proud your dear land and your parents 
Cast your amber, shine so bright 

Light up your flames to touch the sky 
Soar to the heavens, fly so high 
Let the world see your gleaming glow 
From lands of sand to lands of

2023 Fifa Womens World Cup - Jamaica Vs Brazil

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.

2023 Fifa Womens World Cup - England Vs China

England’s coach, Sarina Wiegman’s decision to switch from their regular 4-2-3-1 formation to a 3-5-2 formation was a brilliant move that confused and frustrated China the entire match.

2023 Fifa Womens World Cup - Usa Vs Netherlands

United States had looked defeated after Netherlands' Jill Roord scored a goal in the 17th minute, the first time United States trailed in a World Cup game since the 2011 quarterfinals.  In the second half Lindsey Horan became angry after a hard tackle by Netherlands’ van de Donk.  Minutes later Lindsey scored the

The Women's World Cup

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?

A Woman Avoiding Men

Her room’s door has a goddamned latch,
Wherefore people don’t her sight catch
Seldom would open to a knock,
On that her heart ‘real igneous rock… 

Of those she’d turned down I, First Batch
While I had good shirt, not a patch 
My role to speak, hers to speech block;
Her choicest move: a glance at clock;
One starts with her,

Loves World-Cup

You have pushed me to fall in love 
That’s why now I cry and you laugh 
Baby please hold my hand, pull me up 
You know what you are my love’s world-cup
Baby please sing this song dance with me 
Don’t kiss me in your dream though it’s free
Baby please sing this song dance with me
Baby

The World Cup

The real mind-blowing tournament,
Her football cups prized ornament;
Leaving without one eyes hollow,
Avid fans cease to squad follow...

Tough strikers playing out their hearts
Defenders halting ball that darts:
It's about luck but chiefly skill,
During practice better self kill!

Player free to display sweet role,
But dismissed as freak,no scored goal
How dare you miss a penalty
When what's at stake no novelty?

FIFA

An Englishman Went To Qatar

An Englishman went to Qatar
For the football and bants in the bar
I'm here and I'm *****
And I'm after a beer!
He said. Oh. All together now. Ah
