Die DFB-Elf (The DFB-Eleven) Argentina 0-4 Germany

Green point against racism
Time honoured hero's way
Pre match collective photo
Every day is Mandela day

Don Diego and the Sopranos
Plenty of fashion stick
Cute in matching sets
Joachim Low and Hansi Flick

High loft by the Schwein
As three ticked on the clock
Jump and header by Muller
Eerie silence, German roar

Replay proving conclusive
After four had strayed offside
Tevez square pass to Higuain
Messi too along for the ride

Hairy stuff from nervous Neur
Green Point not El Monumental
Klose strike takes him past Pele
Breathtakingly instrumental

Grand Ozyl splendidly diligent
Run and lending hand by Schwein
Friedrich tap his first ever
Victory jets launched at the Rhine

Chancellor Merkel and psychic Octopus
Humiliation mixed with mirth
Klose joins level with Gerd Muller
Simple volley for a fourth

Asociación del Fútbol Argentino
Diego returned to the shelf
Deutscher Fußball-Bund
Ovation for Die DFB-Elf

Klose with once a costly miss
One he could afford to rue
La Albiceleste truly tanked
Die Mannschaft again go through
