The Beautiful Game

[becky_da_wolf]

And that is a magnificent tackle!
The rub of flesh against flesh
As they go down together,
Puffing and panting,
Grunting and groaning.
In the frenzy, one of them takes
Misplaced elbow to stomach.
The other, catches his breath for a hurried apology
And rolls onto his front,
Whilst the other gets back up and checks his pride.
So their game continues.
He nips in behind the defender
Who now draws closer to him.
They run along together,
Each vying for control.
Both drenched in sweat and breathing harder, harder.
This will have a climactic end!
The striker pushes forward,
Comes into the net first and...
GOAL!!!
