Euro 2008 – Day 19 – Semi final 1 - Frings can only get better

















As a tempest brewed and battered historic Vienna
The Swiss enjoyed the battle of Ravenna

Boral struck the rebound past the ever so hapless Lehmann
As Deutschland banished Jens to far away Khazakhstan

Pandemonium broke out as Istanbul turned up the heat
Germans devoid of ideas even Ballack looked deadbeat

As the experts wrote them off the travelling fans began to whine
Dealt swiftly with a deft flick from the industrious Schwein

Germany in freefall Low’s instructions were to the letter
With the return of Torsten, Frings had to get better

And so it did with klose heading past the great Rustu
The glorious reds got ready to bid a final adieu

No cold turkey as the comeback kings hit again with Senturk
Football rejoiced in unison and Dalston went berserk

In the end the comeback kings were very much outcombacked
A whisker short of custom late glory they just failed to enact

With one killer foray Lahmchop advanced like a hydraulic ram
In the distance all could be heard was the silence of the Lahm

Number 7
