Re: Fastest footballers
Messi isn't actually that fast, he just has insanely quick feet, not blistering pace.
As we see in this list, http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/statistics/players/distanceandspeed.html Hernandez is 4km faster.

Re: Fastest footballers
Messi is quicker than any player with the ball. That's good enough for me to call him the quickest.

While I agree he's not exceptionally fast running without the ball over long distances, those lists are absolutely shit and are a terrible source of argument.

Re: Fastest footballers
I know, but the point still stands, on the ball, his feet are so quick he's unstoppable, but in a race he isn't really the fastest

Yeah, but who cares about that? If we're talking about the Olympics, yes. But we're talking about football so... I call Messi the quickest footballer.
