jump higher than basketball players


sprint faster than olympians
Mbappé might be faster than peak condition Usain Bolt
Hector Bellerin is faster than sprint king Usain Bolt
better stamina than marathon runners
-half marathons are standard distance covered every game

highest iq due to the playing most dynamic tactically demanding sport in the world

toughest fortitude
-basically modern day gladiators risking death, broken legs, heavy concussions every time they step onto the field

those 'flops' are for gamesmanship to get free kicks not because they're soft

basketball is notorious for flopping anyway and i don't see anyone crying about that?

Haven't watched basketball since the Jordan Barkley early Shaq days. I doubt that many people are still into NBA.

nothing you posted is factual at all lmao.
ronaldo's vertical is 30". The average NBA player is 28" (6'7" average height and 247lbs average weight) and the NFL combine has about 10 players annually that jump 40". Hell Myles Garrett is 6'4 272lbs and hit 41" in 2017.
the average distance covered in a game is about 7 miles. far from a half marathon and they sure as **** aren't keeping the pace of a marathoner.
The reason young kids can become great at soccer so quickly is because there is very little strategy and relies mostly on skill.
just lmao at thinking they're tough when the game has such blatant flopping and crying.

sure there are amazing athletes in soccer, but they get mogged by tons of other people in other sports.

World class stamina/cardiovascular endurance. I'll def give them that. Thats about it, I doubt theyre on anything at the olympic level or they'd be doing it when the games come around.

Most of the best players in the world don't compete in the olympic soccer tourney since they already have the world cup which is undoubtedly more competitive than the olympics when it comes to soccer. Olympic teams can only have a few players over the age of 23.

Unless you mean they would try to compete against other professional athletes in specific competitions they never train for?

So you think soccer players are faster than olympic sprinters and have better endurance than marathon runners? You are wrong. Period.

interesting... last time i checked 30 > 28? have to also factor in that there's no such thing as combines in soccer so they don't specifically train for these measurables like american athletes do, no joke ronaldo would have a 60" vert if he trained for it

average is 7miles because of defenders and goalkeepers but other players do marathon like numbers while also making lung busting sprints in between that are faster than usain bolt world record clocked times, these guys are monsters

soccer is the most strategically demanding sport... this is a fact, the only sport that comes close is nfl and that's so static and linear that they have announcers literally call out plays before they happen lol

like i said 'flopping' is about gamesmanship to draw fouls, these men are warriors, show me another sport where absolute brutality like his happens? protip: you can't

Arsenal's Hector Bellerin is obviously quick, but it turns out the young Spanish full-back is actually capable of matching and outrunning 100m world record holder Usain Bolt.



Bellerin clocked a 40m sprint time of 4.42 seconds earlier this season and it has been revealed that this time is actually faster than Bolt ran over the first 40m when he set the current world record at 9.58s in 2009.

If you can show me a soccer player running sub 9.58 FAT in the 100 meter dash then your "literal facts" will be correct. Until then, you are wrong.


edit: lol @ 40m time. this tells absolutely nothing... was this on a track? was this hand timed? wind aided? did he have a flying start? not to mention bolt is notoriously "slow" off the start. complete non-stat. Try again. This just confirms he has not and cannot run sub 9.58 in the 100. Facts gonna facts.

If you're making this comparison then why don't we just admit that Matt London is the fastest and hottest on the planet with his 10m dash world record?
