An Ode to the Departed...

O sayonara Cannavaro
Oui, oui... fly flee Thierry

Domenech, a domineering wreck
Poor Lippi, 'e none too happy

Buffon too, can only rue on two
Quagli's opportunities

A sulker, sent back is Anelka
Paris free? "Non, non, Ribéry!"

Home Le Bleus! A comic tragic blur
So it be, la wee Azzurri
