Soccer, Selections & Suspended Sets

This poem pretty much sums up today’s sports highlights:

Landon Donovan’s slick- as- oil soccer skills
Electrified the U.S. to rousing thrills
Drama and poise in the final minutes
Finding a way to go beyond his limits
Sent the Americans to the round of sixteen
Where they face an upstart Ghana team

From Evan Turner to John Wall
Tonight the NBA draft will fall
First round picks of promising intrigue
Will decide the future of many in the league
Johnson and Cousins and Hayward to choose
The projected prospects on the board not to lose

At 59-59 in the fifth set
The longest match stalled with the sunset
Isner and Mahut battled for ten hours
112 games, 193 aces of powers
A Thursday finish is in the works
Barring any more deadlocked quirks
