PENALTY SHOOT OUTS ~ KO ! A Blank Verse Sonnet

 

THE PENALTY SPOT IS CLEAR IN THE DIAGRAM ! 

 

WORLD CUP ~ THIRTY TWO Countries qualified 

SIXTEEN eliminated in two weeks

WE are now entering ~ Quarter Finals

EIGHT Teams will remain ~ Some UNEXPECTED !

 

CROATIA  &  RUSSIA ~ Little & Large

Are a pairing in the Quarter Finals 

They got there by ~ A Penalty Shoot Out

To reach the Quarter Final ~ YOU MUST WIN !

 

In NINETY minutes or in extra-time

THEN ~ PENALTY SHOOT OUT !  Each team selects

GOAL KEEPER ~ And then the FIVE FIRING SQUAD !

Normally Forwards ~ PENALTY SHOOT OUT !

 

Each of the FIVE takes a PENALTY ~ And

The best of FIVE wins ~ or more are taken !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

Sudden Death or Sudden Glory ~ KO or OK !  RUSSIA KO\'d

SPAIN and CROATIA KO\'d DENMARK !  Russia has proved 

an excellent venue and deserves the success ~ and more

important it keeps their supporters (144 million) K O O L !

England play Colombia on Tuesday in the QF\'s and we are

infamous for our Penalty Shoot Outs so I hope we win in

the 120 (plus 30) minutes allocated ! Yours Brian & Angela
