An example of what Dr. Socrates brought to the game:
More about Socrates here, here, and here. This goal - in Brazil's bitter loss to Italy in 1982 - is one I'll never forget. Tele Santana's Brazil was the best team at the World Cup, and despite losing, they were still world favorites.

to Ray Hudson- poetic soccer announcer and to Lionel Messi & Forsa Barcelona! World's greatest sports team and world's greatest player:
"He doesn't seem bothered
by the weight of his own shadow"-
the hypnotic ballerina
that is Messi!
"Symphonic football-
nothing accidental abt it...
layer upon layer...
this Barcelona side"!
Coach Pep Guadeola,
but especially Messi-
this little werewolf,
searching for zombies...
supra normal, extraterrestrial!
We're run out of adjectives-
and look out for mixed metaphors,
He of the
chameleon eyes-
a short legged bull
Covered w eyes... or
eg: Look who's the rabbit,
doing the donkey work!?
The pressure makes diamonds-
Lionel Messi- doesn't live in the x's and 0's.
But in the Magnetic Spectrum of Genius!!!
