A GAME OF TWO HALVES
A GAME OF TWO HALVES
Ahhh the smell of the crowd
the roar of the vid screen.
Live players
with zoomed up fans.
trying to replicate the sights
and sounds of normalacy.
The unreal
real.
One can be present
so to speak
upon a giant screen
40 metres long
and feeling
9ft tall.
A vast improvement
on the German game
which filled the stadium
with smiling cardboard fans.
But alas with their side
beaten 3-1
the cardboard fans
were still smiling.
A not very realistic
ending.
The Koreans placed
*** dolls in the stands
but they were not interested
and could't understand
the offside rule.
