After four hebdomad of well - placed headers and acrobatic kicks and whatever was going on with Ronaldo ’s hair , the World Cup eventually draws to a close today . But while you ’re holding your breath during the Germany - Argentina nail - biter , take a second to prize the most astonishing feat that find during these 90 minute : How far these guys are running .
A year ago we liken how far jock of different variation run during the course of a give game / match / joust . The full partitioning is below , but the most singular figure comes , perhaps not surprisingly , from soccer :
Obviously , there is some magnetic declination depending on the locating they work — midfielders fly the coop the most ; the goalkeeper not so much — but it ’s not rare for a role player to average out seven miles per game . Seven!SportVU has tracked playersrunning as much as 9.5 miles in a biz .
So the next time you ’re lamenting the lack of grading , just think of it this way . You ’re watching 22 full-grown gentleman’s gentleman run a flux 154 miles in a bare 90 minutes , with private player running well over 60 mi through the track of the tournament . And looking good doing it .
