Most offensive players are average to slightly above. Convo over.

Ordenez from the list above, you know the all-ACC forward begs to differ. Morgan would too.

Would you like me to me to name 5,000 players as examples? Continue with this tit for tat that just proves there is more than one example to prove a point.

You say Morgan. I say Lavelle
You say Ordenez. I say Kerr

You would run out way before me. The short players are a short list.

Okay Good luck to you and your tall daughter. Best of luck with recruiting.

Line up 1000 women.

Only 7-10 will be as tall as Ordonez and Morgan. Or Sam Mewis, Sauerbrun, Davis or MacDonald.

500 will be as tall at Kerr and Lavelle. So I get how out of 1000 or more players maybe you find a Lavelle.

But why are so many tall players selected if this is all random?

They are so so rare in the population.

It’s mathematically impossible. There is only one answer. They are selecting for height. At all levels. Otherwise there is no way to explain it. Otherwise there should be more shorter players than tall players right? These 1% should be the anomaly.

Or are the rosters are all lies?

You guys are actually taller than NFL lineman if you stood side by side. Because you should beat them at 5’7 with your low man advantage.

Crazy talk. By the way the earth is round. Sorry.

You have an inability to comprehend what is being said and lack any real experience. You watch sports. Thats where it ends for you

Look tough guy. You don’t know me. I don’t know you. Don’t make assumptions. You are wrong on the facts and you know it. The rosters don’t lie. Size is an advantage in sports.

I get it. It’s a bitter pill to swallow. It’s also not my fault ok?

I've been very respectful towards you. Me basing my assumptions that you never played sports, especially contact sports, is based on your lack of understanding with "low man wins". Its a real thing and its based on science and endorsed by the best trainers and coaches. Most former athletes understand and know this. So either you are a former athlete who is ignoring this to try in order to drive home a point, or you don't know about it. Now, you say you were an athlete so I'm going to assume you know about it. So now I'm left to assume that you're a parent of a taller kid and want to drive home that your kid is better positioned to advance to a more elite level based on current rosters and therefore..........whatever your end game is.

Now, with that said. Low man wins is a fact. Its how power is generated. Its how explosiveness is generated. Its how strength and driving power is maximized. Not just football. In all sports.

Look simpleton, low man wins doesn’t equate to short man wins. You do comprehend this, right?

Yeah. I understand that. I understand lot of thinks. One being leverage. Another being strength. Another being the ability to generate force. But, whatever floats your boat champ

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = MA). LOL

Most of soccer is played on the ground, with the ball at the feet of the players. Short players can flourish if they excel at ball control, speed, agility and the ability to change direction quickly. They can contribute to passing attacks that can exhaust taller and at times, sluggish and less-skilled opponents. This possession-focused style of soccer, popular in Latin America and Spain, can be seen in the U.S. even in recreational teams who use skill and shrewd tactics to flummox larger opponents.

Inherently Greater Athleticism

In soccer, the short athlete’s gifts no longer get hidden behind those of taller guys and girls. Shorter athletes react more quickly, accelerate better, move with more agility and have a greater strength-to-weight ratio, writes multidisciplinary scholar Thomas T. Samaras in “Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling.” Those not overly tall also have increased endurance and are less prone to heat stroke. All these assets fit perfectly with a sport that lasts 90 minutes or longer, lacks time outs, is played outdoors in hot weather and requires intermittent sprinting.


Lower Center of Gravity

The laws of physics allow a shorter person, with her lower center of gravity, to be better able to resist falling and to enjoy greater stability. She can produce a strong counter-torque to restore her balance even during a lunging, desperate attempt to maintain ball control or to shoot while falling over. Samaras notes that this stability gives shorter athletes an advantage in gymnastics, wrestling, sailing and surfing. It also allows soccer players trying to weave toward the goal in close quarters to maintain their footing despite the inevitable bumping.

Exceptions

While short players can star in soccer, its pros are still taller than the general population. Height remains important for goalkeepers who need to cover a wide and tall goalmouth. Central defenders, especially in leagues that need to defend against tall forwards, also tend to have some height. Soccer statistics analyst Chris Anderson finds a solid correlation between team height and international soccer success. He does note that outliers, such as Spain’s men’s team and America's women's team, at times achieve tremendous success despite a lack of height, presumably based on skill or tactical understanding.

Good read. It's like short wins up front, height then is needed for backs to out-jump those forwards and obviously keepers with size and length have inherent advantage.

LMFAO. I guess those tall Kenyan and Ethiopian marathoners who never suffer heat stroke need to read this and look at for the short runners. Dumb article but this basically still reads short players are the Exception.

The Kenyans and Ethiopians can run all day . . . but suck at soccer.

Alex Morgan is listed at 5'7". 17.7% of females age 20-29 are that height or taller. That is 177 per 1,000.

Many of the best male soccer players were relatively short. Maradona at 5'5", Messi at 5'7", and Pele at 5'8" are often cited as three of the best. Although they were short, they were quick, and strong, with a low center of gravity. Pele could even make up for lack of height because he had great leaping ability and was an extraordinary header of the ball. Mia Hamm was 5'5". She was quick. I think the reason women soccer players are comparatively taller is because the shorter women do not have comparable physiological advantages. They tend not to be noticeably quicker (Hamm and Lavelle are exceptions) than taller women.

You really can’t compare Maradona and Pele to today’s games. Messi was great but is not the rule. There are many more tall quick player Ronaldo, Haaland, Robert Lewandowski, Kevin De Bruyne, Harry Kane, Paul Pogba, Virgil van Dijk vs short players.

Short player below 5’8 will struggle to establish themselves as professionals. Average height for premier league -5’11.5”, Bundesliga 6’ 1/4”, La Liga 5’10 3/4”. In addition to being taller vs average men, they also out mass your typical average men till about 24. After that average men are...let’s face it fatter vs pro soccer players. Those are average heights so the few players under 5’8” really bring the average.

Only 67 European clubs out of 572 (11.7%) fielded players on average shorter than 180cm. https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/atlas/en/

If you study the size of the top teams in the dmv, top youth girls soccer teams (ranked top 5) are stacked with tall and. physically strong girls. There might be a couple of shorter ones but most are larger because they can win the ball in the air and on the ground. If you’re small, you’d better be fast and very good like Hamm, Pugh, or Lavelle.
