    Hello Steve,
    could you give a little more detail on the source please? I've been trying to find official statistics because there's a rumour going through the media about Arjen Robbens alleged 37 kph sprint.

    Where did you find the numbers?
    Thank you!

      Hi Klaus,
      If you go to the individual match reports on the FIFA website you can find the PDFs of the official documents from each match.

      Here is the page for NED v ESP

      http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=255931/match=300186510/index.html#matchfacts

      Scroll down the page and just below the lineups are the 'Official Documents' The player's top speeds are in both the 'player statistics' and the 'tracking statistics' documents.

      Hope that helps!
