When a yellow brigade used to swarm the ground
And opponents were thrashed round after round,
Now when emotion fills our hearts ,
Is when we know it was not just about the 22 yards.
When the 1.5 million dollars made the world turn
Nobody could have predicted what results it would churn
And the love of the people and the reception by the city
To other teams we would say, ”Oh what a pity”
But the match-fixing scandal just caused an earthquake
It meant till midnight no one would stay awake
To watch their team taste glory
And other teams’ reactions gory.
This earthquake did not take a life
But took away plenty of hearts
Brimming with pride and joy
and what else to say, oh boy.
But we the people never lose hope
Be it match-fixing or dope
It only makes us stronger
Even if the wait becomes longer.
