Pre Football World Cup 2026

This poem was written a few hours before the 2026 Football World Cup Final to be played between Argentina and Spain.

Until a few hours more,
Be awake, watch the score.

Argentina, they fight to the teeth, 
Spain too, would flex their feet.

Twenty-two men, have a goal in mind,
Running hard, with a post to find.

Some kicks for free, penalties as awards,
Yellow and Red, they surely will dread.

It's not going to be easy to score,
Either side will defend to the core.

I think Argentina would settle for one,
And, Spain would get not more than none.

It's my prediction, tossed like a dime,
It scored my rhyme, before half time.

Whatever the result, pity the ball,
It takes the beating, for the joy of it all.

Watch the match, enjoy the game.
If you like the poem, enjoy the same.

Contrary to my prediction in the poem, Spain had won. Hence, this short one just after the match.

My prediction has not won,
It skipped the goal by a ton.

Argentina were never in the game,
Spain dominated to keep their name.

One thing stayed the same,
The world united for a game.
