They were there so perfect in intention,
focused and just playing;
confidence and grit kept rising.
out of nowhere comes he
suddenly scores the winning goal
and promotes his team to the finals;
Bravo Brave men of Croatia, bravo
out of nowhere came Mandzukic
and into the goal post
he flew the final goal of victory;
the calmness, the determination
of your team, so alluring
that those who by ages
and centuries played soccer
went home weeping
but is that not
what is a game all about
that someone wins and someone loses?
Well played Croatia, well played!
