Hi from Loftus Versfeld
Attacking La Albirroja
Jubilant Japanese in combat
Eccentric skill of a forger
Reaching the last eight
A first for each great nation
Face off with Spain or Portugal
Or end of the African vacation
Japan boss Takeshi Okada
Gambled on a last four place
In the end it finished goalless
Gaffer sweating on lose face
Gerardo Martin's tight ship
Showed Samurai Blue the door
Typical Latin colour and flair
Conceding only one in four
Penalties to settle the stalemate
For grabs a place in history
Komano brushing the post
Paraguay joy, Japan agony
