I don't watch gay shite bc soccer is gay but how many of the 105 mins was he actually running, 20??? Trying to defend him like he ran for 105 minutes is gay just like soccer

He averages around 7 miles of running per contest.

Not from running, he had a work rate of shite.
He is a freak , but gets completely disinterested when he is not getting the ball.
Harry Kane and Messi play the exact same role and are 10 plus years older then him and gutted it in multiple Extra Time games this WC.
He looked gas at the 55min mark.

While I’m not trying to downplay the shape soccer players are in because they are incredible endurance athletes, I think the amount of all out sprinting they do is exaggerated by a lot of people.
At the same time I see a lot of Euros say the average NFL player is only actually playing for 9 minutes in a 60 minute game. But they downplay the fact that they are going at 100% for the 9 minutes and ignoring all of the moving around in between plays. I bet an NFL receiver or DB covers several miles every game too.

You think a receiver who runs up to 60-70 full sprint routes during a game and then all the jogging back to the huddle between every single play isn’t covering a decent amount of ground throughout an entire game?
Once again, Im not disputing that soccer players are on the move a lot, but they aren’t full throttle for 90 minutes like people make it sound.
