Wait a minute – so has Wimbledon!
Yet the World Cup still holds fans in thrall
What is it with a big round ball?
I sit outside, admire the view
Or write my emails, as you do
And ponder on this lust for sport
A web in which I am not caught.
So may I ask with trepidation
Is this a mass hallucination?
Though Belgo-Russian flights booked out
Good news for bars and ticket tout!
Against the odds, the Belgians score
Brazil, once top dog, is no more
The Devils win: two goals to one
So Brussels' streets are overrun!
The 'thin blue line' holds back the crowd
Whose cheers are jubilant and loud
Sport unifies; like it or not:
United Belgium still on top!
