Euro 2008: day 11 – Italia 2-0 France: Allez Le Bleus

Domenech’s army instructed to go full throttle
The champs very much the same
No swansong for Thuram who had lost the bottle?
Sprinting for cover before the game

Pack shuffled with Abidal joined Gallas
No sleep lost for Donadoni
As the Roman juggernaut floored the gas
A dubious tumble from Luca Toni

Jet lagged strikeforces were truly off pace
Finishing left at the counters of Bon Marche
Proof with Luca and his cursed bootlace
Bringing back fond memories of Guivarc’h

Thierry determined to don his shooting boot
Roman intervention proved a Godsend
As De Rossi steamed in with raised strike foot
Pity it was the wrong end

French future assured with Karim and Samir
As victory for the land of the Lira
Horror show will cost Raymond very dear
Very much the end of an era
