Lol picking Pogba of all people
I dont dislike soccer, but found this kind of funny. Seems the bb crew was right calling soccer Trotball.
Lol picking Pogba of all people
Show me a major american sport where players cover 322Km in a single season? I'm waiting
American athletes are notorious bench warmers. They're either waiting for their turn to play or for the latest car brand/fast food commercial to end.
Beisbol is especially egregious in that department. Maybe that's the reason why they have so many fatties
OP thought he had a hot take with this one
Anyhow, let's break down these stats for fun. Assuming Pogba (one of soccer's best athletes) covers about 6 miles per game (31200 feet) in which 2 percent of that time is sprinting, this translates into him sprinting 624 feet over the course of the game. Nice. Let's say a baseball player hits two doubles (where he's in a full sprint), chases down 2 flyballs over 150 feet, and runs out a grounder. Total sprinting distance is 420 feet. Soccer is obviously a game built around running and yet they don't really sprint significantly more. Sure, a baseball player isn't going to hit two doubles every night, but he might run out 3 or 4 ground balls, tag up, chase down more flies, etc.
The main cardio difference is really the amount of jogging and low-speed running, which Pogba does 30 percent of the time, or over about 2 miles. Fat people jog for 2 miles trying to lose weight.

Who gives a how much ground they cover when the majority of it is through walking and trotting. That's athletically impressive to you? Again, the distance leaders in soccer cover 7 miles per game over 90 minutes, moving at an average of 5mph. Walking speed. No, baseball isn't filled with fatties. Ronaldo (your hero, and soccer's greatest athlete) would be around 200ish in sprint speed out of 400 position players. CC, Bartolo, and Fielder aren't typical builds.Show me a major american sport where players cover 322Km in a single season? I'm waiting

They cover about the same distance in basketball over a season. 2.5 miles average per game over 82 games=321km.

Fattyball: On average players cover an impressive 242 feet per game
^yes, 7 miles per game over 90 minutes, or walking speed. Tell me how that's athletically impressive?
That graph is also an example of why it's bull to measure ulative distances as a measure of stamina demand. You ever watch cricket? Test match is 5 days long over about 40 or 50 hours of play, so a fielder will cover 8 miles by merely moving a few feet back and forth and chasing down a dozen balls.
If you factor in goalies and other players who don't sprint as much as midfielders, the average distance covered sprinting would be similarFattyball: On average players cover an impressive 242 feet per game
Oh, I get it, you're impressed by walking and light trotting. You should enjoy that video of the fatass running 5kms. About the same amount of jogging in soccer
Look, feel free to pump up soccer's skill displays, but there's nothing exceptional about the sport athletically. They're slower than the average athletes in ALL American sports. Poor average vertical. Bird-chested, 5'6" 130lb builds abound. And medium level stamina demands.

Pogba is notorious for being a lazy got. Look up his NT partner Kante and average their numbers.
Even this guy runs more than fatball players
None of that was the original premise of this thread but feel free to keep deflecting mid
Seems to run more than soccer players tooEven this guy runs more than fatball players
The original premise was soccer players spend more time walking and trotting than they do actually running, so the 7 miles distance covered isn't impressive if you're walking it. You might as well be standing around. Quit trying to sell soccer as a stamina sport. Marathon runner does 26 miles in 2 hours without a break. Soccer is a light jog the fatty I posted could do.None of that was the original premise of this thread but feel free to keep deflecting mid
NFL is the slowest assuming you count lineman
Not really, try againSeems to run more than soccer players too
Those dudes have 40 times on par with Ronaldo (soccer's greatest athlete, who was laboratory measured).
The OP really blew up a lot of myths about soccer being this sprinting marathon with a ball involved. Its stamina demands really aren't an outlier. like marathons and triathlons are stamina sports. My basic point is that when you consider the distances covered in the amount of time it takes, you might as well be standing around. What's impressive about 7 miles over 90 minutes when only 2% of that is sprinting?
5KM is 3 miles. Pogba (a top 3 athlete in soccer) runs less than that during a match, as 68% of the time he's walking or standing (4 percent other is standing).Not really, try again
You literally see that fatty do something that resembles racewalking for 10 seconds in a 4 min video full of edits and he calls it running a 5K.
How gullible are you mid?
But i guess he's ready for primetime Fattyball since it only requires covering 242 feet in 3 hours
? Im gonna need a link
Google searches argue Ronaldo is a second per hour slower than Beckham
At 33 years old, too. Then factor in he has soccer's greatest vertical, its most "shredded" physique, etc, he's probably the greatest pure soccer athlete who's ever lived. But funny enough, he'd only be around 200th on the "fatball" sprint speed list (3.61 82 foot time in lab conditions).The Portugal captain has officially recorded the fastest top speed at the World Cup this summer (34kmph). beating 735 players at the tournament in terms of raw pace.
You keep showing how clueless you are about football every time you make those kind of statements, I love it
Ok let's be serious for a second, that guy is not ready to be a baseball player. Hes still way too skinny tbhYou literally see that fatty do something that resembles racewalking for 10 seconds in a 4 min video full of edits and he calls it running a 5K.
