Watching the Barcelona player Messi last night I wondered if there is such a thing as art in sports, or poetry in football to be more specific. This player, said to be the world's best at the moment, is so adept at handling the ball that it becomes mesmerizing to watch him take on a series of defenders and slalom past them as if they were motionless pillars, unable to catch him. There is certainly style and elegance in his play. He does have that latin girly hair, though..
