Senor Rosetti blew to mark the start
Of Germany versus Spain
The moment to banish forty four years
Of much ache and pain
Triumph for Iberian beauty
Over the teutonic beast
Whilst Madrid set plans to ordain
Luis Aragones the high priest
Torres’ meticulousness against Lehmann
Bought about much merry carouse
Joined in joyous unison
By the deafening roar of the Scouse
A dour dire German show
Not many tears held back
Another forty years of wait
What price a gong for Ballack?
Matadors rampant in Vienna
Symbol of a nations long held hope
As Monsieur Platini handed to Casillas
All hail the champions of Europe
Casillas, Ramos, Puyol, Marchena,
Xavi, Silva, Cazorla,
Torres, Iniesta, Guiza,
Senna, Fabregas, Capdevila
Number 7
