QATAR FIFA WORLD CUP 2022 REVIEW

The Arabian state of Qatar are staging the Christmas World Cup,

The whole world watching together sat on their couches curled up,

Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Lewandowski, Mbappe and Kane,

Are just a few of the star names who will be boarding the plane,

Brazil, Argentina, Germany and France,

Are among the favourites to be doing the winners dance,

Don't forget England, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark and The Dutch,

Who possess individuals with that very special touch,

Spain, Croatia, Wales and The United States,

All play as teams and like to create,

Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, Serbia and Iran,

Outsiders all looking to upset the plan,

Maybe it is time for the Africans to finally come good,

Senegal, Tunisia, Ghana, Morocco, Cameroon on their day just could,

For big populations Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea,

They might have to wait for another 4 years,

Poland, Ecuador, Switzerland, Uruguay, Mexico,

Will be giving it their very best go,

That is just leaving Qatar as the hosts,

Going far into the tournament could help banish a few ghosts,

The severe heat could take it's toll on some teams,

Combined with miles of traveling may run out of steam,

After a month of festve festival football it will eventually produce a winner,

I am predicting a team in blue and yellow win and with goal from Raphinha.
