Enter Mario Gotze
By George Amadi
“Oh, Messi, Ah, Messi,” lost chances prompting,
He would carry the day not a few fans wishing,
2014 World Cup final tackles reckless getting,
Each passing moment hue and cry mounting,
South Americans to fate resigned, grieving,
German coach for a glorious day plotting,
Referee a penalty shoot-out envisaging,
Maracana disappearing seconds counting,
Planet Earth on TV a baited breath holding,
Frenzied bookie’s cigar in the mouth hanging,
Enter Mario Gotze, dying minutes bets choking,
His brave volley Argentine goalie sent sprawling.
