Association football, better known soccer, is a team sport which requires two teams of eleven players whose objective is to score by moving the ball the to the opposing team's goal without using their hands. Played by over 200 million people from over 200 countries, it is the world's most popular sport.

People come from all over the world and for football players, it is no different. Although there are higher concentrations of footballers coming from certain parts of the world like Spain, France, Brazil, Germany and England, there are also some who come from areas like the Ivory Coast, Sweden, the Netherlands, Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium.

How much of a fan are you and how closely have you been paying attention to the players and their back stories? Are you able to correctly match the successful footballers to countries that they were born in? Only a true football fan can do it, will you be one go them? Take this quiz to find out!

In soccer, a potential trade-off between the speed and unpredictability of an action could influence success in penalty kicks. In this situation, unpredictability is advantageous, and soccer players are more likely to score on a penalty kick if they can disguise the direction of the kick [7]. During penalties, goalkeepers use cues presented by the kicker to predict shot direction before the ball moves [8,9,10]. If a shooter kicks as fast as possible, their range of motion increases compared to a slower kick [11,12], exaggerating visual cues used by the goalkeeper and improving their accuracy in predicting the direction of the shot [13].

Success rates of participants grouped according to those who were over 18 years old with soccer playing experience. (1) Never played, N = 166. (2) Played socially, N = 215. (3) Amateur player, N = 213. (4) Semi-professional player, N = 100. See Appendix A for full descriptions. Plotted are the median, 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentile, and outliers. ANOVA revealed a significant difference among groups, F (3690) = 25.61, p < 0.001. Braces show significant differences among groups identified by Tukey HSD (95% CI). All significant differences are p < 0.001 (see AppendixTable A1 for further details).

Probability of correctly guessing shot direction dependent on occlusion time and shot speed. Side-foot and instep shots are plotted separately. Probabilities and standard error bars were calculated using averaged parameter estimates from statistical model. (a) Side-foot shots. (b) Instep shots.

You are about to find out how good a soccer goalkeeper you are. You will watch 60 different videos of soccer players shooting a penalty at you and your task is to guess if their shot went to your left or right. Each video will stop before the ball is actually kicked, so you have to make your prediction based on their body cues. Some videos will stop right at ball contact, while others stop at various points during the players run-up/kicking action, so the amount of information you have to make your decision will vary.

Tukey HSD comparisons identifying differences in correctly guessing shot direction based on soccer playing experience over the age of 18. (1) never played, (2) played socially, (3) amateur player, (4) semi-professional.

Each player is blindly fed three different doughnuts and tasked with guessing the flavor of each. Sounds pretty straightforward and honestly quite simple, except doughnuts probably aren't a staple of the professional soccer player's daily diet, so maybe it's been years since these guys have chowed on doughnuts.

Community and school programs are safe and caring spaces for kids to make mistakes, experience and build through failures and successes, and problem solve around challenges and celebrate triumphs. Who knows, they may even find themselves becoming the fourth best soccer player in the fifth grade!

Guess was born in Athens, Georgia. She attended and played for Athens Academy in Athens, Georgia, where she received several honors and awards. Guess was a highly recruited high school All-American in high school. Guess was a 2003 McDonald's All-American, 2003 Parade All-American and 2003 NSCAA All-American. She led her team in scoring and assists all three years and was first-team All-Northeast Georgia each year. In addition to excelling in soccer, Guess also played four years of basketball as a point guard and led her basketball team in scoring, assists, steals and free throw shooting three times. Guess was named All-Northeast Georgia her freshman through senior years, first-team All-State selection as a senior, honorable mention as a sophomore and All-Area as a senior as well as the All-Northeast Georgia player of the Year as a senior.

Guess was signed by the Boston Breakers as a discovery player in April 2013.[3] After playing only one game with the Breakers in which she provided the assist to the Breaker's lone and equalizer goal, Guess was waived by the team.[4][5]

I'd guess he was more gifted as middle distance runner or sprinter as he had some real ups. Scored many goals with his head, at least in college (not in the pros). He even walked onto the Duke basketball team and, at 5'9", wowed the crowd (before games!) with his dunks. I'd guess he could go well under 2 in the 800 with minimal training.

Most people on this thread are way underestimating soccer players in my opinion. Especially for a professional. In my high school soccer players would run 5 miles several times per week. I went to a DIII college, and so there was a vast range of ability, but I remember our tennis team would run mile time trials on the track fairly regularly and one of the guys was also on the soccer team and would run about 5:15. But I also knew another guy on the team who ran 10:10 for two miles, and one year a guy from the soccer team came out randomly (was convinced by a runner at a party to try to break 5) to an all comer's meet we hosted and ran 5:00. That's all with no additional training, and those are DIII guys, none of whom were the stars, and not the faster guys on the team.

I think some guys would be slower, but some also significantly faster. I wouldn't be surprised to find guys who could run 1:52 or break 4:20. They are well trained athletes and soccer is reasonably good preparation for middle distance.

In 8th grade some of the faster kids who played soccer could run 5:20-5:30 in gym class. None of these guys were even all-state or anything and they didn't do track. You take a guy who is 8-10 years old and worlds better and I see no reason why 4:45 shouldn't be expected.

And you are also overestimating their ability to run distances. With some training maybe they'd run some alright 5k's, but I think if you went through division 1 soccer players about 80% of them would not break 20 in a 5k. There is a huge difference between running repetitive sprints with rest that add up to 6-10 miles per game or practice and running 6-10 miles a day. I agree that 400 and 800 would be the best events though for them to run

Not even close, my school is a decent soccer school...we usually win sectionals, and sometimes groups, and they had 5 guys run faster than 5:20. We just had one soccer/wresting kid come out for spring track and within two weeks he ran 10:50 and 4:53

Yeah, I think most of you are underestimating the ability of pro soccer players at the shorter distances. Obviously it depends on the position of the player, but I think most outside midfielders, outside fullbacks, and most forwards would do very well at the 800, run a good mile, and then get progressively worse as the distance increases.

You have to remember that in the rest of the world the best athletes are probably playing soccer. Their training includes some distance running, but is mostly shorter and sprint related. I'd guess that a large percentage of the players at the aforementioned positions would be under 2:00 in the 800, with some in the lower 1:50s just based off of natural talent and some "soccer" running/training. For the mile times, I would guess a good portion of mids and outside backs around the 4:30s - 4:50s. The longer distances would see them get slower and slower. Also, I think the center mids and center backs who don't do as much running would be a little worse.

I was always a soccer player until my junior year in high school, and with no xc/track experience ran a 2:02 800m my first time out and a 52s 400m the same day. I have some talent and went on to run DI track, but I'm not a world class athlete. These guys like Cristiano Ronaldo are very, very fast at short distance (40 - 50 yard sprints) and I would bet could run a nasty 400m and 800m with some training. 006ab0faaa
