It's just a game

I love football
Not the FIFA
All those overpaid players
Their exaggerated fame
Starving fans
The world has gone insane

Yes, joyful it was
7:1 against the host
Fascinating and surreal
Then the final victory
I admit: I screamed

My team has won
My country, my dear nation
My flag
My hymn
My heroes
All imagination

Pride?
I’m not proud
Scared I am
Of any hypnotized crowd

Manmade maps
Dividing lines
It’s just a game
No need for crimes


My Argentian housemate and I.
Just before the final.
