World Cup Haiku

Riot police, tear gas

Protesters take to the streets

Welcome to Brazil

***************

FIFA is corrupt

On that we can all agree

But what of Fo, Fum?

***************

Let's go, Ecuador!

Here's a fun team name for you:

Quito Mosquitoes

***************

What is stoppage time?

For what? How much? What the heck?

Nebulous, it seems.

***************

Calling it 'Group of Death”

Seems considerably harsh

It might scare the kids

***************

Lionel Messi is great

Christiano Ronaldo, too

LeBron outscores both

**************

USA Soccer?

It has lots of fans

But so does Bieber

***************

If overtime ends tied

Game goes to penalty kicks

No, we don't know why

**************

Play a 4-4-2?

Or maybe 4-2-3-1?

There's no Perfect 10

***************

Major League Soccer

Is the U.S.' pro league

Really, who knew?

***************

Month-long tournament

Forever to pay for it

The host never wins

California Chrome

Has no connection to this

So off you go, horse
