to make shocking run, behind
Modric and them boys
Balkan/Slavic football has
immense World Cup history
my general lack
of support for Europe means
Denmark's off radar
second-tier teams not former
Yugoslav states miss my gaze
the Danes drizzle in
second-minute goal, before
we're even settled
Mandzukic answers quickly;
are we off to the races?
digital era
so at halftime, disappeared
for three-hour wander
walking through my small city's
not-yet-rebuilt underside
"I can always watch
the replay online when I
get back home," I thought
coconut water from the
immigrant mall tienda
graffiti under
bridges, kudzu and bamboo -
also immigrants
a handless Undertaker
figure for free beside street
someone driving by
yells "RAVEN MACK!"; down with all,
so I holler back
got home disinterested
in staring at internet
real life's powerful,
a better place to get lost
than screen rabbit holes
now naked and stankin' from
thick southern humidity
looks like Croatia
advanced on another one
gone to penalties
good weekend fix by FIFA
to lure in Americans
