REVISED FASTEST FOOTBALL - SOCCER PLAYERS IN THE WORLD | FIFA RANKING

Some time ago I published a list by FIFA listing the "Fastest Football Players on the Planet". The current & ongoing FIFA World Cup in Brazil has put on show some of those listed & apparently has lead to modify the list. One devastating example was the opening match of Group B between Spain & Holland, where Arjen Robben reached 37 Km/h to overtake Sergio Ramos & later score. This registered velocity has put Arjen Robben as the "Fastest Footballer in World Soccer" at this moment. I say at the moment because speed has to do with current physical conditions of the players. The differences between Nº 1 & Nº10 are few & can change over weeks & months depending on how the players are in form at any given time.

Below is the current & latest list of the Top 10 quickest Football Players on Earth. 

Arjen Robben reaches 37 km/h

1. Robben 37 Km/h (Bayern Munich)

2. Walcott. 35,7 km/h (Arsenal FC)

3. Valencia. 35,1 km/h (Manchester United)

4. Bale. 34,7 km/h (Real Madrid CF)

5. Lennon. 33,8 km/h (Tottenham Hotspurs)

6. Cristiano Ronaldo. 33,6 km/h (Real Madrid CF)

7. Messi. 32,5 km/h (FC Barcelona)

8. Rooney. 31,2 km/h (Manchester United)

9. Ribéry. 30,7 km/h (Bayern Munich)

10. Sergio Ramos 30,6 km/h (Real Madrid CF)
