Bite

Suarez is hungry
Mmmm, tasty Chiellini
Om nom nom nom nom

Nothing

There's an England game
that we can all recognize
Nothing much happened

Neymar

What about Neymar?
That boy can play, no question.
Haircut's shocking though

Comeback?

Forty-nine minutes
Korea cut deficit
Is the comeback on?

Saturday 21 June 2014

Heartbreak

One moment of skill
and Messi breaks Iran hearts
Argentina win

Out

Thank you Italy
for ending our misery
It's hope that kills you

Deflated

No haiku tonight
Watching England too painful
Nothing left to say

Goodbye

The holders are out!
No points after two matches
Hasta la vista

Custodian

Iker Casillas
An illustrious career
ending in tatters

Deserving

Well played Mexico
A Brazilian triumph
would have been unjust

Pundit

I was washing up
when Alan Shearer was on
Did I miss that much?

Monday 16 June 2014

Half-time

Germany three up
Portugal down to ten men
This match is over

Sunday 15 June 2014

Goal-line

Camera says 'no'
Technology disagrees
It's a goal for France!

Corner

Like a wounded bird
falling sad and pathetic
Wayne Rooney's corner

Hope

After four years wait
and mounting expectation
I'll take a nil-nil

Everyman

Well, Adrian Chiles
Your 'everyman' persona
is wearing quite thin

Progress

There's much more legroom
On the old double deckers
They call it progress.

Upright

Great play from Robben
It shows what can be achieved
If you don't fall down

Headlong

Running into space
Diving full length, heading home
Robin van Persie

Binned

Broken umbrellas
sticking out of rubbish bins
always make me sad
