I hear that all of the time and maybe it’s different at a lower level but it seems like that’s simply a lie perpetuated by the clock moving being unreasonably extrapolated into people moving. I challenge anyone to even find me a single 10 minute clip of a World Cup game where 75% of the people are not either completely stopped or at most mall walking 75% of the time if you are actually running the entire game it would seem you are doing it wrong.

Excluding the GK, an average Premier League player covers around 6-7 miles per game.

And here's some stats for all sports:

If you want a workout, go with soccer or field hockey over baseball.

You know even if you pretended stoppage time accurately accounted for the amount of breaks that works out to be 15-16.33 minute miles for the top athletes at the pinnacle of the game, right? Which works out to be the median time it takes the average non athlete to walk a mile.

That was a national team vs a bunch of D3 players, our team is not at that level and these are D1 athletes.  I would guarantee I could grab a handful of Football players and they would destroy our ranked WBB team in hoops and I am fairly certain we would not get destroyed by a this Women’s soccer team in soccer either.  There is a pretty big drop off from the national team to our team and the national team couldn’t beat a bunch of 15 year old boys. 

I thought you were kidding at first but **** if it doesn't appear that you're serious. I'm guessing only a handful of the football team has played soccer at anywhere near a competitive level. Take a look at the USF/UF women's soccer replay on the Plus. It would be reminiscent of the Eye-talians and a double digit lead at the half ....

I just sort of bounced past his comment. A team of fast and strong men would get embarrassingly smoked by a team of similar aged women who are playing the sport just below world class vs. guys who kicked a ball when they were 7.
