England Lionesses in the 2023 FIFA World Cup FINAL – “Poetry in motion” by J W Nelson

The anticipation is building. The moment of truth awaits. All you you can do is sit on the edge of your seat. The result is unknown; sitting in the future as fate…

England and its long history of Football have reached the top of the summit for only the second time in their illustrious history. In some very minuscule way, I hope to convey some positive vibes for their final on Sunday August 20th against the Spanish side that will be the toughest of tests.

Anyway here is my poetic attempt at motivation (and fingers crossed hope!!)

When The Final Whistle Blows…

When the final whistle blows,

How will you feel?

Has Russo and Kelly boosted our mood

Will Earps protect our goal like a shield?

 

When the final whistle blows,

Can Carter and Walsh protect us?

Or will Bright and Bronze safeguard our back

Or should we ‘Jose’ and park the bus…

When the final whistle blows,

The young James and Stanway arrive;

Speed and skill intertwine

Our ‘young bloods’ are starting to thrive

 

When the final whistle blows,

Toone and Hemp move at pace;

Let’s trouble their defensive guard

Make them think and give them something else to face

When the final whistle blows,

England and Daly add more to the mix;

Left or right makes no odds

A problem we hope any team can’t fix

 

When the final whistle blows,

Greenwood, Charles and Morgan sit tight;

Calmness, confidence, plus speed suits us fine

In any match, any day or any ‘final’ night

 

When the final whistle blows,

We hope to be tripping the light fantastic;

Robinson, Coombs and Charles make sure

We won’t need anything too drastic

When the final whistle blows

Where will you all be?

It could be heaven or in some hell of a place

Whatever the result – we’ll all have to wait and see…

 

When the final whistle does blow

57 years is a long time to ‘roam’

We all just hope and pray; with a nod and a wink

Sarina; will bring our football home…

(Come on England!)

When Final Whistle Blows

When the final whistle blows

How will you feel?

Has Kane and Sterling boosted our mood

Will Pickford protect our goal like a shield?

When the final whistle blows

Can Kalvin and Rice protect us?

Or will Stones and Maguire safeguard our back

Or should we ‘Jose’ and park the bus…

When the final whistle blows

We can rely on climbing the ‘Mount’

We see Reece James fly down the wing

Leaving the ‘Italian Job’ with money to count

When the final whistle blows

The young Bellingham and Sancho arrive;

Speed and skill intertwine

Our ‘young bloods’ are start to thrive

When the final whistle blows

Saka and Grealish move at pace;

Let’s trouble the Italian old guard

And give them something else to face

When the final whistle blows

Foden and Rashford add more to the mix;

Left or right makes no odds

A problem we hope the Italians can’t fix

When the final whistle blows

Walker and Mings sit tight;

Calmness plus speed suits us fine

In any match, any day or any night

When the final whistle blows

We hope to be ‘tripping’ the light fantastic;

At any moment you may not be Shaw

Fingers crossed we won’t need anything too drastic

When the final whistle blows

Where will you all be?

It could be heaven or in some hell of a place

We’ll all have to wait and see

When the final whistle blows

55 years is a long time to ‘roam’

I just hope and pray; with a nod and a wink

Gareth; will bring our football home…
