Another reason to love soccer: Keeps you fit! Soccer (Fútbol) This shouldnt surprise anyone whos played the game, but soccer players (also know as football players if you come from a little place called Everywhere That Isnt the United States) never stop running. Games last 90 minutes, they have a large field (between 100 yards and 130 yards long and 50 to 100 yards wide), the ball is constantly in motion and may travel great distances in a matter of seconds, requiring the players to give chase. Obviously, there is some variation depending on the position they play—midfielders run the most; the goalie not so much—but its not uncommon for a player to average seven miles per game. Seven! SportVU has tracked players running as much as 9.5 miles in a game.
