World Cup Tanka: POLAND vs. COLOMBIA (Match 32)


feel no kinship for 
my Polish bloodlines, to be 
honest - too mongrel 

ethnicity laundered through 
bland American whiteness 

no team has sang their 
national anthem quite like 
Colombia does 

post-Escobar era, they've 
got mad nationalist pride 

also have love for 
a Colombian woman, 
but it ain't to be 

we both know though; I root for 
Colombia as "what if" 

fuckin' simple assed 
red and white kits and flag? damn; 
stylewise - no contest 

Polish come out swinging with 
accidental thuggishness 

CONMEBOL roots means 
counter harsh brutality 
with goal-scoring flair 

Yerry Mina climbs skyward 
to head home cross for first score 

Poland's unable 
to ever recover, and 
Falcao makes it two 

Cuadrado adds a third, and 
the Polish are defeated 

stadium crowd a 
sea of yellow, bouncing and 
singing, with relief 

failure demons now exist 
for Robert Lewandowski

World Cup Tanka: POLAND vs. SENEGAL (Match 16)


my grandfather on mama's side was the son of Polish immigrants could I have played for Polish national team? I'm not sure one of the World Cup's greatest victories ever was sixteen years back Senegal beat France in act of avenging history Cisse's the youngest manager in World Cup, plus only African African nations rarely have African managers Senegal begins with flair - a great complement to these plucky Poles I don't feel Polish enough to like these white uniforms both teams willing to hit hyperspeed suddenly, which is good viewing [productivity plummets worldwide during the World Cup] another owned goal got Senegalese crowd hyped, drums pounding in joy watching game, loving Niang's hustle, which he utilized return to field from injury breakaway with keeper absent - gooolllllll Group H flipped upside down; we're only a quarter way done
