French tricolour rose
To honour the footballers
Now, the world’s
greatest….
The deciding match,
which saw France beat Croatia by 4-2 in the FIFA World Cup and take home the
champion’s trophy for the first time since 1998, drew million viewers recently…
I was also hooked on to the series, so it wasn’t very difficult to stretch the
imagination this time. 😊
Hearty Congratulations
to the African countries: Congo, Guinea, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, Mali &
Angola that delivered the players who delivered France the WorldCup2018 …. I guess, this makes it more appropriate for the prompt.

Sports as a path to greatness is totally believable--Bravo France!

I saw one of the matches - Croatia bested England........they all played so hard.
ReplyDeleteOK, so my team didn't win, but the whole tournament seemed to be no more than a replica of Roman gladitorial combat in the colosseum.
ReplyDeleteNice haiku celebrating greatness :)
