Malouda? Not sure he's moved at all actually.

No, not Malouda. Malouda has hit atop speed of 26.84 mph, whilst the fastest speed so far recorded is 31.53 mph.

Note that might actually be kph, as 31 miles per hour seems very quick.

Well I was just about to say that.

Ok...hmmmm....Nani?

 

[chrissivad]

Ronaldo, from stance to ground

 

[joey55]

Nani 28.39 and Ronaldo 29.42, so both wrong.

 

[Partizan]

what's the top speed of Patrice Evra?

 

[talkshowhost86]

Van Persie?

 

[joey55]

Van Persie?

Fuck! How did you guess that?

 

[joey55]

what's the top speed of Patrice Evra?

29.02 - anything over 29 is seriously quick.

 

[C0YS]

I dont belive that!!!!!!!!!! Van persie!!!!!!

 

[talkshowhost86]

Fuck! How did you guess that?

Really?

I was on the BBC site just trying to work out all the Premiership players involved. I assumed it'd be someone you wouldn't expect. I never had him down for a quick player.

My next guess was going to be Senderos.

Thinking about it, I was a bit bumb giving that clue, as there aren't that many Prem players playing. Interesting though, I never knew RVP was that quick. But I never knew Gerrard was either until someone told me and now I actively look out for examples of his speed and he really is quick, so it will probably be the same with RVP.

????? Surely not - that makes him faster than Torres?

Only means in this tournament. Torries may have just not had cause to hit his top speed because I'm certain he' quite rapid.

 

[HuggyBear]

Thats what i was thinking, Ballack as well was a suprise, but the biggest shock of all was Joey getting his stats wrong.

Oops, it looks like the quiz master even got this one wrong
