DEUS EX MACHINA
–Montreal Impact victory in 2015, over Mexican team Pachuca in the CONCACAF championship quarter finals
The fans of visiting Pachuca, in sacred masks
of bloodthirsty wrestlers, believed that fate
would favor Mexico The minutes passed
away and they still led on aggregate
but we were sixty thousand strong, naively
hopefully, cheering in our crumbling stands
The football gods smiled indulgently
on the Mexican supporters’ victory plans
When suddenly, for no reason at all
Puskas, Lord of thunder, reached down and flicked
the ball to a one-hit-wonder on Montreal
