In the absence of Field Sergeant Low
Pre match hype focussed on Ronaldo
Defeat and he’d announce on the morrow
Whether a Manc he’d stay or go
Prey at mercy’s feet Lukas arched his bow
Brazen Schwein stroke with the precision of Zorro
Miroslav broke his duck with one of his brow
Red comeback in the form of El Nuno
Crimson attacking intent began to grow
Orchestrated by the wily general Deco
But the Germans just refused to lay down low
Commander Ballack countered with a deadly body blow
Morale and flair eased as the play became slow
Lack of a finisher left no dice to throw
Only resistance from the industrious Moutinho
Before Nani introduced to the playing plateau
As time ticked Fergie’s babe curled in an arrow
Step up Postiga and become a national hero
Time though snuffed the flame to a mere glow
Big Phil’s tenure ending in sorrow
With the return of Field Sergeant Low
Post match hype focussed on Ronaldo
Defeat confirmed he’d announce on the morrow
Whether a Manc he’d stay or go
Number 7
