We demanded it to be right
Years before it had come right
It had to come right
Now it has come all right
Don Capello mused defiantly
Shades of eighty six and ninety
Resplendent in Royal Liverpool Red
For the flag each man bled
Altogether new attacking zest
England at their awesome best
Dazzling Milner a pinpoint centre
Poised Defoe with the clincher
Gerrard brilliant in Red rouge
Lions pressure signalled a Deluge
Upson's tackle from Carra's manual
Hamdanovic saves not of the usual
Joe Cole made fans sing merry
pleasant for player manager Terry
Slovenian sorrow in Port Elizabeth
As USA beat the Foxes at the death
23.06.10
Number 7
