Arjen Robben sets fastest soccer player ever record = 37 km/h = 10.28 100m.

I watched the clip of the sprint on replay. It was nowhere near the speed an actual 100m runner moves at.

Sub 11 sure. 10.28 seems like a stretch.

i watched it too...it looked faster than an actual 100m runner moves at

Are you brain dead and bad at math? 22.9mph top speed. Bolt 27.79mph...he'd need to go 22% faster to match....so your eyes are broken.

Put him on a track with spikes I'm sure he'll do a hell of a lot better, but this is not a 10.28 effort with a start, without a start sure. Big difference.

Assuming he has as good maintaining speed and start as pros (which he doesmt) worth about a 11.7. So given that he doesn't more like a 12.2. Put him on a track with spikes....maybe 11.6.

Aka very slow compared to pros.

Robben ran under 60 meters in about 8 seconds from a moving start, reaching an estimated top speed of 37kph

Usain Bolt tops out at about 60kph during a 100m dash

Ramos'"only 30.6 miles per hour" is pretty impressive though.

Do you have analysis / article showing Bolt's top end speed, that would be interesting to see.

Did you recently get lobotimized? You couldn't tell Robben ran maybe 40-50 meters when his speed was taken? That's the point at which I am comparing the pro 100 meter runners to...now who exactly is FAR faster than Robben at that 40-50 meter point? Which pro is moving at 23mph that soon?

There's no footballer with 10.2 speed.

CR7, Robben, Walcott, Di Maria, Bale, Valencia, etc...all those players are sub 11, but somewhere between 10.9 and 10.4

actually they are probably closer to 12 seconds than 11 seconds if you really ask me

Actually I found this:

"The day after Usain Bolt's 9.58 100m world record, the IAAF released details of the split times for that race. The time for each 20m distance of the race was recorded. For Bolt, the fastest interval (60m to 80m) was run at an average speed of 44.72 km/hr (27.79 mph, 12.42 m/s)."

so what track meet was this ran at?

oh wait, it WASN'T.

this "10.28 100m" = BS

Watch the ESPN sports science tests on Ronaldo. He takes on a pro sprinter, doesn't lose by much and beats the sprinter on agility. Definitely sub 11, maybe 10.5 potential.

Everything you just said is ridiculously wrong and made up. Bolt hits around 28mph at his best ever form. Ramos did 30.6km/hr

ITT: butthurt runners because professional football players are better at a sport that you spent hours on doing each day.

Correct.

I also saw a TV show where Shaq takes on Tyson Gay. The race is close, and I don't think Shaq is even the fastest guy in the NBA. These sprinters really aren't that fast.

Most sprinters are on drugs though. Imagine how fast they'd be if they got clean. If there was more money in athletics maybe they got afford to go to the Betty Ford clinic or something

This site never fails to amaze me when it comes to sprint times. This board has absolutely NO CONCEPT of what people can run for 100m. Robben at 12.2? Wow… I can run 12.0 and am primarily a half-marathoner (and a poor one at that). Robben would wipe the floor with me in a 100m dash. 12.0 doesn't even get you onto an average HS 400m relay team. Idiots.

Yeah because the guys making millions in the tier-one sport aren't on drugs, while the B-list sprinters in a marginal sport are totally doped to the gills.
