He came from la liga to Brighton FC (I know we're not technically Brighton FC)
He makes saves and he waves and he celebrates with everyone
Waltzing Matt Ryan
The Brighton Pygmy/he's only five foot three/our own wallaby

The last line could be any of those already stated, or maybe somebody could come up with something different

What do you think?

Excellent effort however it’s Mat Ryan.

I’ve made an amendment to incorporate Socceroo in the lyrics.

What do you think?

The only issue is that, barring a shock, he's not likely to come home soon!

Australia (FIFA Ranking 41) are due to play Uzbekistan (95) in the 2nd Round and then probably the UAE (79) in the QF.

Even likely Semi-Final opponents South Korea (53) are ranked below them. Only Iran (29) in the top half are ranked higher.

2nd Round fixtures with the respective FIFA rankings

Thailand (118) v China (76)
Iran (29) v Oman (82)
Jordan (109) v Vietnam (100)
Japan (50) v Saudi Arabia (69)

South Korea (53) v Bahrain (113)
Qatar (93) v Iraq (88)
UAE (79) v Krygyzstan (91)
Australia (41) v Uzbekistan (95)

Huge potential. Following your inspiration:

Waltzing Mat Ryan, Waltzing Mat Ryan

Va -len-cia to Sussex by the Sea
Cos’ he saves and he waves and he celebrates with everyone
Waltzing Mat Ryan, he's tall at 5 foot 3.

I can't stop singing it. This song is AMAZING. It's guaranteed to catch on. Now we can really put BHAFC at the centre of the soccer map of cool.

Scans better too...
Yes, very good. A "ss" sound in the middle of that line is also nice to closer match the original.

Australia v Uzbekistan has gone to extra time. 0-0 at the end of the 90.

Another 30 mins of the same and it'll be penalty time for Maty.

Lose and it'll be home time.
