Euro 2008 – Day 5: Portugal V Czech republic

Geneva brings in the second batch of matches
Poetic Portugese, Czech industry
The Deco show rolls, upright and composed
Man of the match I agree

Ronaldo magic is again the rage
Flamboyant spinning on a golden quid
Wooing the crowd jinking left and right
A slick stepover… to Madrid?

Milan was lame and world-weary
Not improvement on the lacklustre Koller
Though Sionko did well with his strike
Reminded me of Rudi Voller

A Polak poleaxe on Pepe
Magnified painfully on the plasma
Team claret gain the record successive win
All with much colour, vivacity and Quaresma

Number 7
