Soccer in Haiku

Prime time ads are shown

Forcing interest

Watching the World Cup
Is what the U.S. must do
Start to love soccer

Foot trap, header, cross
Slide tackle, banana kick
Cut down the angle

The bicycle kick
Offside trap, mark, in swinger
All new terms to learn

Soccer moms, mini vans
Kids league on a rainy day
Things already known

Can interest grow
Some complain of the boredom
Many just do not care

    Futbal is for skinny cats for whom a body blow from a 290lb lineman would prove fatal. Gimme overgrown apes in a helmet any day - now that's a sport!
