Cape strut for Las Furias Rojas : Spain 1-0 Portugal

Battle of Green Point Stadium
Spain greet their Iberian cousin
Ronaldo, Torres, Villa
This should fetch half a dozen

Torres cut in and snap jab
Drawing a Queiroz barrage
Bosque Po-faced as usual
Stare marking Del boy’s visage

Winker up to his old tricks
Cape Town Bambi on ice
Ignored by Ref Baldassi
Not even a word of advice

Puyol knee past Casillas
Slipping and sliding skaters
Looping ball just past
Hard luck the Navigators

Xavi's deft and clever flick
Winner from David Villa
Shrills drown Vuvuzelas
Catalunya to Castilla

Ramos at his buccaneer best
Costa off, Ron foregone
Iniesta a polished Rolls Royce
Las Furias Rojas wagon rolls on
