Power or Skill?

What is skill in a sport? It is the art, the elegance and wit that gives sport it's beauty.

Note this is not an essay but I do want to make a point, a very sad point. That is, football, as the English say it, is one of the only left sports that is still surviving solely on skill. It hurts me to face up to this realisation as I am huge Tennis fan, but the truth must be brought to Light. Athletes nowadays, (not that i'm super old) are getting 'Higher, faster and Freakier' as David Runciman in his article for the Guardian puts it. Basically he discussed whether the rise of the Super-athlete was ruining sport?

Is it? From Usain Bolt to Serena Williams he makes a valid point in stating that power dominates, and in many cases sucks out the drama. They're Tall, muscular and have excellent ability to control power. Sure footballers are the same, yet they have to outwit the other player without using power. It is this aspect that also makes soccer soo boring. There are games where a goal isn't made for what feels like hours, which is why I still prefer to watch tennis anyday.

I'm still going to watch the world cup (haha like a few games), I honestly don't know why. I thinks i'll watch it for the shere reason that it is the world cup, Soccerooos FTW although it's by a long shot, can't help but root for em! Since i'm on a football note, i must add that i'm currently watching Bend it like Beckham. LOVE that Movie!! I can watch this movie again and agian and again, its a very obvious 10/10

Not only does it raise important issues like women in football or more obvious the cross cultural differences, but because it so fluidly integrates it with comedy. hmmmm I really want to meet the director Gurinder Chadha one day for sure :)
