The Three Lions ventured far across the sea,
To face the world in two-thousand-and-twenty-six,
A summer quest of grit and bravery,
Where destiny and tactics learn to mix.
Against the Croats first, they made their stand,
Four goals to two, a thunderous, opening night,
Then Ghana held them firm upon the sand,
A scoreless draw beneath the stadium light.
In New Jersey, Panama felt the sting,
Two goals to nil, the Three Lions cruised along,
Then DR Congo felt the pressure bring
A narrow win to keep them playing strong.
In Mexico, a frantic, red-carded affair,
Three goals to two, a triumph for the bold,
Then Norway fell, their spirit stripped quite bare,
In extra time, a tale of legends told.
But then in Atlanta, the dreams began to fray,
As Argentina’s strike proved just too much,
One goal to two—the final slipped away,
The silver prize beyond their final touch.
Yet one last dance remained in Florida’s heat,
Against the French, a ten-goal wild display,
A glorious end, the victory sweet,
Six-four the score, the third-place prize to stay.
