You lost any credibility in this thread when you said Bolt is slow out of the blocks. Then, you said Aguero could take him. You have reached levels of ranter stupidity in this thread.
Bolt will beat just about anyone at any distance that is a sprint. Bolt fricking practices sprints, starting, acceleration, etc. I would take Bolt in 10, 15, 20 meters easily.
You can use meters with me. It makes more sense in running terms.

What the hell is up your arse? Do I need to post in Swahili for you to comprehend? Damn.

I don't give a shite what Bolt says because it is not wholly true. According to data from his races, he is an average to slightly above average starter out of the blocks when competiting against world class sprinters who are world class starters as well.
I don't care if you have zero interest or knowledge in running, but no need to talk out of your arse about it.

He may be slow out of the blocks compared to other world-class sprinters, but that doesn't mean a soccer player could beat him out of the blocks.
Not to mention that he isn't too slow out of the blocks anymore anyways, ever since he DQed in the World Championships he has improved his starting for the most part. He was just as fast out of the blocks as everyone else in the Olympic Final: LINK

quote:frick off. you´re going to sit there and tell me he´s going to be outside the area, hips in another direction, feet the other way, and he´s going to pick up the ball in ten metres or less, and fire a split second shot off quicker than an Agüero. frick that, get to the ball (without running a marker, or markers over), nothing more I don´t buy it. Neither do you.
I don't care if you have zero interest or knowledge in running, but no need to talk out of your arse about it.
Now, if they´re going to spring on the wing from box to box, uninterrupted or unhindered, with no ball, that´s something entirely different altogether.

You never said slaloming and making cuts. This thread was about starting out of the blocks (which was stupidly brought up).
Quantify your case before making it. This is a totally different scenario than what the thread was about.
Obviously, a footballer is more inclined to make those cuts. I saw the Ronaldo sports science video. Just clarify your case first.

No, no slaloming or cuts. The classing jog in one direction turn and sprint in the opposite direction, on no notice.
Or starting totally immobile and facing the other way.

We were talking about football, not out and out unimpeded footraces. We were talking about an exhibition match, and immediately wondered about his dribbling capacity.
I mean, I´ve seen a lot of little sparkplugs with a low centre of gravity that get off fast and really motor. They´re spent at 30 metres.
An Agüero would be off and tractioning well ahead in the first five metres, would Bolt best him in the second five? I don´t know.
Maybe. Probably. I don´t think it´s an absolute given.
:beatdeadhorse: sorry

I think that it'd be different if it was sprint to sprint or agility ladder + short sprint, but watching last year's Olympic 100m final, Bolt doesn't look any slower out of the gates than the seven other world-class guys whose only job is to train every possible aspect of sprinting in a straight line over 100m. I would imagine that his biggest issue, especially at his height, would be slowing down. That shouldn't be a problem under that scenario provided he makes an efficient cut which he should be able to considering that he has played a decent amount of soccer.
ETA: It's easier to come to terms with when you realize that everyone in this photo (100m):
is within .2 seconds of him. You could probably count the number of professional soccer players who can get within a second of him on one hand. That time has to come from somewhere, and judging from his starts relative to other world class sprinters, he'd start to find that time early.

Watching a Bolt documentary on Netflix right now.
He was in a kick about, and didn´t do anything.
There was one change of direction from a standstill, which while half assed, was pretty impressive.
