I’m winding down at the end of the week

When what do I see? Turkey / Croatia

The English players should watch this and weep

They couldn’t have equalised or won a

Penalty shoot-out under that pressure

Rustu the goalkeeper is a hero

He saved two out of three though his howler

Had only shortly before seemed to sow

The seeds of defeat, but in their last go

Turkey drew level. Feelings hit their peak

With fans of both sides in hysteria

The lottery of spot-kicks always so

Dramatic, heroes turning villain. Bleak

Evening for Croats. But for Turks… Hurrah!
