The first two sites aren't poetry-related unless you really want to
stretch the definition, but they're damn good: the first one is a match
summary of the Euro 2000 final, in the form of stick-figure cartoons.

and the archive of these cartoons (extending back to the Premier League
season) can be found at...

Now, as to football and poetry... I don't know of anything really good and
would appreciate hearing about it. However, the website for When Saturday
comes has a poetry pgae, written by some guy calling himself Pele. Here's
his poem called "On the Resemblance of a Balkan No. 9 and My Father":
The Croatian Davor Suker
Looks just like my dad
Except that Suker's good at footy.
My dad is pretty bad.
That can be found at http://www.wsc.co.uk/poetry/index.htm.
My personal favorite is the moving "Decline and Fall of Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge" by the way.
Time to log off: I'm probably committing some serious unamerican
activity by promoting websites that feature "soccer" and poetry
