Hockey Gold For Germany 2008 : Sports Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann



On the Olympic green in Beijing it was the hockey final , the gold medal match .

 A young German team versus an experienced team from Spain , But who would rule the patch .

 As the Germans and the Spaniards took to the field , they held their hockey sticks in their hand .

The crowd sang in Spanish and German but somehow in Beijing no one could understand ,

The colour of the white house or why  Chicago decides .

All that mattered was the game .

 Hockey fans from Germany and Spain jumped and screamed for their team.
They all went half insane .

 

Then a shot fired by Zeller went into the roof of the net .  Germany were one up .

The noise went up another  notch as the crowd went crazy and the singing never stopped .

As the teams went off at half time on came dancers and pop stars , they where kung fu  fighting  ,

The crowd were passionate and hot blooded ,

It was very nail biting  and exciting .

 

After the break the second half began

and a hockey fever ran most voices hoarse  .

 

The noise went another level up ,

It was one nil still

and the game had run  its course .

 Congratulations with the victory to Germany ,
The memory of it all .

What magic it was to see such great skill and technique with a hockey stick and a ball  .
