The Fifa Women's Word Cup

Listen to poem:
Written: August 09, 20230 Fifa Women's World Cup 2023 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mark Toney ______________________________________________________________ In the realm of soccer, where dreams bear flight, A stage was set, shining under the beaming light. The Women World Cup, with glory at stake, Sweden against the U.S., hearts ready to quake. Regulation played out, With a nil-nil score, Both teams gave their all. Their spirits never wore. The tension in the air—as the clock ticked away. The crowd held their breaths, in anticipation that day. Extra time was granted to break the deadlock. True, a win was staked—each side stood headlock. The strain grows as there are no goals to be found. As the clock started to tick away the time abound. The shootout with penalties—to pick the winner. In the greatest nerve-racking way feasible spinner The U.S. stepped up, with confidence and might, But fate had a different design, on this fateful night. Three missed kicks—In the realm of soccer fights, Sealed the U.S.'s fate, In a moment so tight. Kudos to Musovic—and the Blue and Yellow, For their resilience and skill, in a match so mellow. In the realm of soccer, Where dreams bear flight, This game will forever be a testament to their might. The Women World Cup—a stage of pure thrill, Where nations unite, with a passion that is real. Though the U.S. may have faltered, In this battle so grand, Their journey won't cease here—their legacy will still stand. In the realm of soccer, It's not just around the score, But the heart and grit, retain us coming back for more. So let us celebrate the triumphs and the falls, The beauty of the game captures us all. In the realm of soccer, where dreams bear flight, We witness moments of glory—battles fought with might. Congratulations to Sweden—their win was sweet All dreams in the field of soccer start at the feet. A stage was built up, gleaming in the spotlight. The Women's World Cup—the stakes are right.

Excellent Poetry on the Womens game. The better team won. I was dissapointed in some of the players not supporting America and making this great game political. Thanks for sharing Lasaad.

Our team lost because of missed free kick goals. US woman team is superb and still can beat any team.
