Honda less than Civic: Denmark 1-3 Japan

Crammed into Royal Bafokeng
Head to head with red Danmark
Vicious Japanese cricket swing

Denmark may paint pretty pictures
Provoke worldwide unrest
Scrawled over by Honda and Endo
Artistic quality left Rolligans depressed

Could he become Japan’s best import
Man with the engine of the Honda
Because World cup Africa
Unearths each day a shiny new star

South Africa stifled a chuckle
Tomasson fluffed his lines in full view
Made up by just slotting the rebound
Very nearly shanking that one too

Ref Damon had time for one more
Okazaki sliding in a tap in low
Welcome face rounded the evening
Rustenberg welcomed Inamoto

Trauma for Danes number one
Woeful handling by poor Sorensen
A tip to articulate the grief
Anguish art in Jyllands Posten?
