Lightning strikes thrice– Argentina 4-1 South Korea

Joburg for the first hat trick
At Soccer City Higuain struck thrice
Majestic Messi pulling cheese strings
Rings round eleven blind mice

Mario Kempes couldn’t sail
Batigol’s world cup hattrick galleon
Joining Gabriel Omar Batistuta
In the Hat trick legends pantheon

Glanced free kick from Messi
Park Chu-young scored home and away
Maradona’s team took control
Four to one by the end of play

Heinze dabbled in the dark arts
De Bleeckere’s yellow made him retreat hasty
Albiceleste at their sumptuous best
Boy do Diego’s team look tasty
