Kylian Mbappe 100m time?

Is this a joke? They all do

The dimwitted ih8mbappe probably will be disappointed to learn that every one of the black players who started for France today were born in France.

Bloke is fast - but Gemili was faster as a football player. So look at Gemili's PBs and you have a good idea of what's possible. There's also been other faster football players than Mbappe. If you can run sub 9.9 you'd be scouted for the Olympics

Good luck tempting any top league soccer player to swap a guarenteed $200K+ weekly playing at the top stadiums in Europe, for the chance to compete for $10K at the Birmingham DL.

⬆️. SO GOOD!! 👏

Wait , wannawannabe, USAMNT didn't recognize you as the Chosen One? We could've won the World Cup if we only followed your lead? And all along you were right here on this running forum?
Frustrating

Mbappe is fast for a soccer player, no question whatsoever about that. He blew away the defender at one point yesterday. What elevates him in world soccer is his skill, especially at shot-making. Those two goals were things of beauty. He takes his time and hammers the ball in a perfect place between defenders and goalie. He has more World Cup goals now prior to the age of 24 than Pele, albeit in an expanded Cup. In soccer, endurance and speed are both important, to run people down and to get to the ball first, especially in the second half. Most good teams will do a fair amount of short speedwork and longer runs around the field. But soccer is a skill/organizational sport and the best athletes in the world in terms of strength, power, and speed, couldn't do anything at all against skilled soccer players, particularly those working in a team concept with an idea of how spreading the field, passing, practice at set plays (throw-ins, corners, free kicks, penalties) can allow a team to destroy another team of equivalent skill but poor organization. That's essentially what you see in the World Cup knockout games between the European or South American powers and the rest of the world. It happened to the U.S. and Senegal certainly.

I dunno man. There are plenty of 4.3x or faster types in the US who don't want to play, don't fit, or flame out in American football, but also aren't going to be capable of breaking breaking 9.9x over 100 meters. What exactly is your argument here....that such people should NOT be invested in from a USMNT perspective?!?!! That ISNT a goldmine of opportunity for the countries soccer hopes?!?!! These are guys who end up in insurance, or personal training, or whatever ANYWAY. Might as well make a pipeline for them, no? Cause YES, I'm saying they AREN'T doing that, and they ARE there.

If I wasn't even that good....that means there's even MORE out there who were BETTER than me. Seems idiotic to act like that isn't a "sleeping giant" that could and should be tapped into. Imagine if Trindon Holliday had been putting on work in soccer from his elementary school years instead of wasting time on American Football. Come on, wake up.

We throw money at the dumbest things already, you really don't think some money and effort at finding the Trindon Holliday's of the US wouldn't be a HUGE infusion of talent into the US soccer "system"?!?!

This exactly. If Usain Bolt had more skills on the pitch the 100m world record would be much slower than it is today.

Track and field is a fringe sport. None of the major sports talent is going to trade big money for fringe sport glory.

Speculating on Mbappe's 100m time is the same as speculating on Tom Brady's darts score.

Rubbuis.

He's 11 flat at best

The guy has 10.4ish potential.

Maybe, but 10.4 is hardly world class. I recall that even in the 1980s it was claimed about some of the faster soccer strikers (very few of West african origin then) they could or had in their youths run sub 11 sec.

Most sprints in soccer matches are closer to 30m than to 100m, often with the ball and it's not really comparable to a sprint on track. While the sport has become much more athletic in the last 40 years, the decisive skills are not superior speed but what they can do with the ball and how they use their speed in the game.

Lebron James could run a sub-4 mile if he trained for it.

Tbh, kylian is fast but Kyle Walker is faster.

Tho Walker has been injured for a long time so not match fit yet. Kylian is deadly fast with the ball the first 1-10 m. Thats ridiculous. But straight running 30-100 m a fit Walker (at least the last years Walkers) beats kylian comfortable.

Biased view.

Mbappé is from West Africa the heart of Worldwide Sprint, Usain Bolt ancestry came from there not from Ethiopia the wrong God of Jamaican.

MARTIN KEOWN: Kyle Walker's not yet up to full speed to face Mbappe

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/columnists/columnist-1047409/Martin-Keown-for-the-Daily-Mail.html

MARTIN KEOWN TALKS TACTICS: There isn't really a player on the planet who can deal with Kylian Mbappe. He knocks it out of his right foot in his stride pattern and he's away. He's a flying machine.

Link:www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/art...

Look what we get there:

Kylian Mbappé is of Cameroonian origin by his father and Algerian by his mother.

Metis mean more bright because of gene diversification...

He recently visited the Moroccan camp in Qatar to encourage his friend Hakimi.

9.77 French record

Guess again Oliver. They sprinted head to head today and Walker clearly couldn't keep up.

Which game did you watch? Game i watched seemed that Walker is no different in speed. And is more talented on top of that
