had biggest win of first time
through group stage match-ups
geopolitics favor
denying metaphysics
Mo Salah's return
invigorates Egyptian
dreams of knockout stage
Salah such a special dude,
got me saying "inshallah"
in Salah I trust,
hoping for energetic
post-Ramadan strength
Salah is cat-like, toying
with these Russian defenders
Russia’s organized;
African football means kick
it ahead - attack
Egypt’s ball movement seem like
button combos you don’t know
a falling Fathi
own goal gifts Russia the lead;
Egypt finds their heels
on your heels no way to play,
and Russia scores a second
Dzyuba adds a third,
with a militaristic
salute afterwards
a fitting celebration
of Eurocentric tactics
the jihad’s been lost -
organized mechanistic
football beats spirit
will we ever have ourselves
another Maradona?
