Euro 2008 Day 1 - Swiss roll as Turkey roasted










Though the Swiss shackled the towering Koller
Buckner’s brigade ground out the win
Hobbled Frei caused the hosts a headache
Plan A heading straight for the bin

To compliment the towering inferno
Karol searches from Berounka to Yangtse
Though the answer lies much closer to home
Let loose Baros and Matejovsky

Pepe summed up the Portugese brilliance
Now many gamblers will stake and pledge
The Vulcan’s (Volkan) defence breached twice
Less because of no Portugese cutting edge

Will someone remind Tuncay
It’s months before the Beijing dream
Olympic antics an absolute disgrace
But a certain gold for the diving team

Number 7
