England's Lions Roar

entry picture

I thought football was rather overrated

Its players spoilt and highly overpaid

Then I watched the game last night

As an entire country held on tight

It was going to be a rather bumpy ride

Game on and nowhere left to hide

My heart and soul were in my mouth

Blood pressure going through the roof

Heartache and despair in the minute of 94

As Columbia strike and level the score

England has to dig deep once more

Extra time would sort out the boys from the men

Penalty shootout here we go again

The rising tension is absolutely extreme

Kane steps up and neatly puts one away

Henderson’s effort is saved what can I say

Columbia wobble and miss two in a row

Hurrah for Jordan Pickford way to go

Dier settles it with nerves of steel

England are through how does it feel

The quarter finals now beckon

Have England got a chance?

What do you reckon?

Is the nation ready for more?

Do you have faith - do you believe?

Listen to England’s lions roar

Hi M.C. - The team showed tenacity, resilience & stoicism. Their win was richly deserved. Bring on Sweden. T ☺

Great to see this young England side hold its nerve after so
many falls at the last fence of the "penalty shoot-out".
No sympathy for the Colombians after all that grappling and
constant complaining.

Hi Christine - You probably would have had a seizure lol. It was edge of the seat, nail biting stuff. ☺
