Fresh-cut grass fills the air
Each on their side, not yet to cross
Waiting the sound of the whistle
Shrilling through the air
Hearts beating with anticipation
Both teams competent of the win
Tasting that victory to come
Ready to fight at the enemies’ sight
Seven to eleven on each side of the field
Kick-off to begin the match
Whistle shrills with a burst of movement
With feet propelling the ball
The fight is in for the lead
Coaches yelling while fans are screaming
Smoothness keeps the ball moving
Ref's whistle blows, stops for a foul
Taken kick, ball back in action
Never slow or mundane with so many plays
Moving parts all around and refs in tow
Flag raises high, now offsides to go
Push, shove, and even a hard foul for a bad pick
Here’s a card just for kicks
Sweating, heated emotions across the pitch
The fight is alive to the last whistle blows
