2117 - The hot gates of the Greek goalposts

As Germany play Greece, will the result
Reflect the economic thrashing the
Germans have given the Greeks, an insult
To the proud engine of democracy
The unfortunate answer's probably
The Germans are one up, here comes the flood
One suspects, or can, like Thermopylae
The Greek warriors hold the enemy, blood
Notwithstanding, still standing, making good
Their proud ambition, not leaving the field
Alive except with full integrity
And honour befitting their bronzed manhood?
I can't see it, but miracles aren't foiled
By narrow mortal thought - they are crazy!
