The Beautiful Game 

A gentleman's game 

The beautiful game 

Fans cheering, players fighting 

Twenty  two men with one goal

Some say its foolish 

But i never alters rhe discourse 

A universal language understood by many 

The language takes on any 

No one can beat the great 

The great always is a threat 

With the skill and flair 

Football never cease to thrill 

The charisma of euphoric fans 

The efforts of hardworking players 

All this makes up the game 

Is it art

Yes its more than art 

Culture and pleasure 

Sweat and grit 

All this gives it the glitter 

Football is the real deal 

Everything else is just a drill

Training and braining 

Sleepless nights and restless days 

All this for the big day 

Football makes everyone one 

the beautiful game
