Everybody loves Raymond – Uruguay 0-0 France

Malouda with splinters on the bench
Bacary Sagna’s hair a fright
Star man Ribery switched central
Gignac on the right

Third nil nil in a row
What’s that a global snore?
No! the piercing Vuvuzelas
No Benzema, no Nasri, no score

A brilliant Japanese ref
Sent Domenech the comic
Scuttling to his tech area
Nishimura assured and academic

Forlan fizzed the best chance
Anelka not in great Nic
French Coq lacks it’s harsh shrill
As Les Bleus missed a trick.
