messi 6th fastest player...... I don't think so.

 

Rooney 7th.......

 

He is a quick runner over short distances, unlike Torres

 

What has torres got to do with anything?

 

if it was a list of how fast they fall over after being touched it would be more believable.

Rooney's not even in the top ten fastest in the Prem never mind the world.

 

Maybe they timed Rooney running to KFC before it closed....

Jokes aside, this seems utter bollocks. Does this count with or without the ball? Messi is quick with the ball but not having him as 6th fastest without it. Most of these guys are white for a start. Look at a general 100m sprint final - pretty much all black men.

 

Well this seems accurate.

 

Funny how all these players play in the current top 3 leagues in Europe...did they even check Asia, Africa, Americas etc?!?

 

There's no way there's a 5kph difference between the fastest 10 players in world football...

 

Nonsense. Rooney 7th fastest in the world!! it just makes a mockery of the whole thing Surely Andros Townsend is faster than Rooney.

 

Surely Andy Townsend is faster than Rooney!

 

FIFA made those stats based on performance of players in recent international tournaments, sure they didn't measure how fast is every player in the planet

 

Dont run with such a sensationalist headline would be my advice then!!!

 

No but you'd think they would have measured every fast player at the tournaments Rooney is not even 7th in the PL I would imagine.

I guess when you sign Bolt you'll have the 2 fastest ****e players in the world then

Someone did, pros anyway Not sure of accuracy but it seems more accurate than the FIFA one

Rooney not even top 50

Hmm no Valencia
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1375286-ranking-world-footballs-50-fastest-players

 

Wonder how they did the testing. Is it over a certain distance? With the ball or without the ball?

Anyways Rooney probably isn't even the 7th faster player at United. <laugh

Rafael, Fabio, Valencia, Hernandez, Welbeck, Smalling, Buttner, and probably Zaha are faster than Rooney, and I'm sure there's more too.

 

FIFA, can they get anything right, probably not.

 

read the headline again bcz only an idiot will assume FIFA had measured every player in the planet

 

did you noticed they didn't wrote speed in km/h .. will not be surprised if is done by someone sitting in his dark room just sorting players subjectively like he want without any real measurement ....hahaha there is no real source on which establishment did those measurement.. but who need that when there is no measurement in the first place !!!

FIFA one though did have the measures and it is about the top speed a player reached during any match in main international tournaments.. I read somewhere that Valenica was not in top but he break into the top spot in one match after producing a maximum speed during one match

 

How do we know if the player was going his top speed?
