Football and Poetry Collide
For most football fans, it has been a long wait for the start of the season to begin. Of course, the delight of the World Cup gave us a welcomed distraction. However, once France lifted the trophy, we checked the transfer news to see if our teams had signed anyone before the start of the season. One Real Madrid fan decided to use this as inspiration for a creative poem about the club’s pre-season work activity.
