Nothing like Botticelli’s figures,
no soft contours, pastels, suspended grace:
these players struggle, suffer and sweat,
inflict blinding head-on collisions
upon each other and are beautiful.

Even though my wife spoiled it with the final score, I watched yesterday’s game after work. A victory earned!
Marta’s speech will go down in history.
Strength and beauty!
