I saw a video where he was playing football once. It's impossible he will ever be a top professional footballer, no matter how fast he is.

Would dominate the Donki League.

Also I spelled Donki with two "e" and it still auto corrected to Premier league. Admins :bow:

His acceleration isn't good enough anyway. Football is more about the first few steps than outright pace like 99% of the time.

*bleep* no, his acceleration is still enough to dust any footballer. He just can't play football well

In a straight line sure. But doing zig zag, footballers are faster than sprinters. In that "Sports Lab" show, Ronaldo beat a 100m sprinter in a zig zag race, and Ronaldo isn't Messi or some other more agile footballers.

Bolt's first few steps are generally pretty poor (relative), and his speed comes from his long strides and size. You simply can't run like that with a football.

Bolts first few steps are still insanely fast. And it would just take a different type of training to get that acceleration, ex power cleans, more anterior chain work etc. anyways I don't want to make this an exercise science discussion.

He'd still be shite regardless of his pace ;lol:
