Much singing, chanting and fireworks Head honcho with a standing ovation
King Leruo Molotlegi
Head of the Bafokeng Nation
Cacophony of clamour and colour
Rustenberg home to the England heartbeat
Bafeking roused from it’s slumber
Fabio just sought a clean sheet
Skipper with a dream start
Just four minutes on the clock
Big Emile with the lay off
Corporal Gerrard fired the Glock
Agony for those on HD
ITV again driving the punters mad
Heskey’s assist and Stevie G’s finish
Replaced by a Hyundai ad
Then along popped Greenfinger
Just the Jabulani to clutch
Drawn into Dempsey’s web of sin
Short lapse and a faulty touch
A massive howler from Greeny
Was it a bobble or faulty hip joint?
Dempsey’s hopeful punt
Gifting the States a welcome point
Ostensibly feeble shot
Trickled agonisingly over the line
But Greeny’s good enough to recover
And give the doubters a straight V day sign
"It's about mental strength,”
Greeny’s shouted from the steeple
“I didn't let it affect me mentally,
“Worse things have happened to people"
