Brazil nuts - Brazil 3-1 Ivory Coast

From the Grandad jumper horror
Dunga sported Dutch courage
Naranja shirt with lime green tee
Glow in the Soccer City fridge

Wow was that a kaka assist?
An end to Fabiano's drought
Back heel caressed to Luis
Clinical the finishing grout

"Green and gold holding midfielders"
In chorus sang the children
Dirty Lucio's sly tug on Drogba
Much to ponder for Eriksson

Two nil and a handball shout
Fab cleanly riding three tackles
Even pointed out by the ref
Goal releasing the rusty shackles

Brazil upped the Samba
Theatrics from Robinho
Ill luck with a horror tackle
After the third from Elano

Kaka foolishly red carded
Drogba a poached goal boast
Kiss and cuddle for Toure Yaya
Not over For the Ivory Coast
