Ronaldo aint going to be happy about that .

Ronnie has just thrown his hands up in the air in in a tantrum!

I love the way that Marca have written that up as if Bale is doing something wrong by letting someone else close in. Bale is top of the list and yet they hardly mention him!

Also, there is a Mexican footballer called Juergen Damm? I wonder what a Germanic name like that is doing in South America...

Rooney #8 ???

He can't run that fast without the ball

[Baloo]

It was reported Robben reached 37kph during the World Cup.

Equivalent to 10.28 for the 100m with the ball under control.

[BlueArmy 86]

That list is bullshit!

Theres no way Rooney is in the top 10

[redjk]

They probably only looked at those ten players

[JP1970]

Josh Low would have beaten them all in a race, wouldn't have been able to control the ball though.

I love the way that Marca have written that up as if Bale is doing something wrong by letting someone else close in. Bale is top of the list and yet they hardly mention him! His grandfather is from Germany.
