657 - Euro KO

Is anyone betting on the Euro’s?
(OK, I know there’s no apostrophe)
If you have been, you’ve got a bloody nose
What with surprise wins by Russia, Turkey
And tonight either Spain or Italy
Will join them in the quarters. Now don’t bet
Against Italy’s what would normally
Be said (or against Germany), but let’s
See if Spain can remain. The eastern set
Are so strong now, in Eurovision shows
At tennis, now football too. Putin, he’s
Been puttin’ something in their tea. Nyet, nyet
It’s just that they compete better, I s’pose
Our sport history’s short on victories
