Leo Messi sent down for this beautiful game

Not knowing his purpose or aim 

One thing called him that was green and gold 

It stood out to him loud and bold 

Played for the red and blues 

Yet winning nil for his blue and white gave him those blues

In 12 came 91 

And in 14 came the task that became undone 

Group stage was facile 

Round of 16 he remained tranquil 

The breakthrough goal did it for Switzerland 

As Messi pushed themselves closer to the glorious end 

Belgium was light yet troublesome

Although no problem for the only one 

The Netherlands played it all the way 

Shootout pushed Messi’s despair away

Germany brought sorrow 

Maybe next time or tomorrow
