The World Cup bug has bitten CMD more severely than first thought. So, in honor of Japan’s victory today, we’re launching a World Cup haiku competition. Submit a World Cup-themed haiku in this blog’s comments section from now until midnight, July 5, and you’re entered to win a participating country’s official jersey.

And how will the winner be chosen? We’ll select our top four favorite entries on July 7 then let you vote on which one deserves eternal glory—oh yeah—and an official team jersey. The winner will be announced on July 12, the day after the World Cup championship match.
So get creative and start writing!

the rising sun cheers
indomitable lions
tamed by one to nil
What?! Why the red card?!
This is the World Cup! His leg
is barely broken
90 minutes on
The largest stage in the world
Sprint, pass, catch, kick, GOAL!
The roar of the crowd
Rising thunderous and bold
A nation’s pride, GOOOAAAAAL!!!!!
dawn, shocked from sleep by
madman screaming at telly
“Rooney is open!!!”
A foot and a ball
Such hexogonal beauty
Never has been found.
arise from our seats
the brilliant winger this year
resilient Robben
The net is too large.
No. The ball is too small and
fast. Goalie’s Lament
The world stage is ours
Dark Continent Pageantry
Vuvuzelas Buzz
What happened to France?
They struck, and dove but really
Needed a headbutt
All day in playgrounds
boys kick quick rebounds and yell,
“Look! I’m Donovan!”
Those vuvuzelas.
My ears are starting to bleed.
Now what did you say?
Red flag, yellow flag!
World Cup is crazy this year!
Stop blowing that horn!
United States loses,
and TVs across the land
switch to House reruns
perfecting the flop
not unlike a bad actor
they fall in faux pain
soccer or football
whatever you may call it
best sport in the WORLD!
US or Brazil
Who should we be cheering for
Who cares —fun watchin’
My leg is broken!
No, wait, I mean it’s my arm.
I see a white light…
Replay, where art thou?
The world sees what the ref can’t
FIFA, it is time
the constant droning
of drunken Vuvuzela
a third world Tweeter
Okada of Japan critisized for
saying ” swaｒm like flies ”
but he was right
so full of tradition
and glory won
unless the ref is blind
