Who'd Be A Goalie?

I have been watching the World Cup and loving it. I love the Bafana Bafana, the Jabalani and the Vuvuzalo's. I love watching the African teams - the noise, the fans, the colours and the craziness of it all!!!I watched the first England match against the USA and wrote this poem.

Who'd Be A Goalie

Who'd be a goalie
guarding the nets
a hero one minute
a villain the next

When you save free kicks
and penalties
everybody thinks
you're the bees knees

Jumping for crosses
brave and strong
you can't seem to do
anything wrong

But when you let
in a goal people moan
leave you standing
on your own

standing there
with your head in your gloves
you're suddenly the player
nobody loves.

That one is for Robert Green, England Goalie, because we all make mistakes but that's OK, that's why pencils have rubbers on the top!!!
