Chasing an Inflated Pigskin

Sports Illustrated The Football Book Expanded Edition
The Football Book
Chasing an inflated pigskin
Injuring head and knee and shin
Like they escaped a loony bin
Football's the game they want to win

Men pound and maul seems like a brawl
You may recall a real close call
So that's football once and for all
And above all it does enthrall

A Beautiful Game: The World's Greatest Players and How Soccer Changed Their Lives
A Beautiful Game
Soccer
They run across a grassy field
With injuries they hope are healed
And strategies that are concealed
And penalties that are appealed

Men pound and maul seems like a brawl
You may recall a real close call
So that's football once and for all
And above all it does enthrall
