The Raptor in today’s world

Is today’s world devoid of dinosaurs? Think again. I think there are two of them alive even today. Blessed with mind blowing speed, agility, accuracy and the ability to dazzle their prey. Confused?

We’ve got two modern day raptors. They dance around their prey and are flawless plus they coordinate their activities.

You see them often in television. I’m sure you would have cheered for them in the recent times. Yes I’m talking about the Argentine king of play making Lionel Messi and the Portuguese winging wizard Cristiano Ronaldo.

Football is not just the most popular game. It is a treat to the eyes. You can see it as a battle where able warriors penetrate through their opponent’s defense. Some struggle but some have the skill. This I believe is a gift at birth.

From the beginning of football we’ve had heroes. We have popular names. I’d back Pele any day to be the number 1. But I think these two players are strong contenders.

Even the best defenders in today’s game need to be at their best to even try to match these wizards. But the one fact about Messi is his fairplay. Any player who gets attacked as mush as him as in this world cup would have punched every attacker in the face but there is an air of gentleness.

He dazzles, is behind every goal scored and every opportunity created and ravishes the opportunities given to him. Smiles is all that we see while the crowd do nothing but applaud.

Cristiano is another hitman. We see him in all smiles too in South Africa despite the exit in the round of 16. The most expensive player in the world has nothing to prove and is another person who’s second to none.

Don’t these guys get tired of everyone admiring them? Don’t they get sick of goals? Well as long as they make me relish football and Argentina take home the cup, I wont complain.

Prepare to be dazzled. There’s atleast a decade left for our dear fellows.
