McKay had the advantage of playing two cold weather matches, but still way ahead of everyone else at 13km per 90 minutes.
The match he ran the most against Spain it worked against Australia but still impressive.
Michael Bradley is the only other contender, He played in heat and extra time and still managed 12.5km per 90 minutes.
Felliani,Jedinak did well for big men, Ramirez stood out in a lazy Brazil.
On the other side of the ledger you have the slackers of course goal keepers.
Eto played in one hot match but was much lower than anyone else. 7.5 km.
You have a few central defenders including Tiago, playing sweeeper though is not that demanding.
Where Messi takes the cake, is Argentina had no hot matches, one middle and the rest cold only 8.14 km.
Lazy Fred was at 9km and he got substituted and didn;t have to play out 90 minutes.

Mackay, Bozanic, Bresh, Jedinak and Oar in the top 50 so a pretty good effort.


You have included Chadli who played 25 minutes per game, what about Halloran then?



All I did was sort the list into order by most minutes played. Then I deleted anyone with 89 minutes or less.

I guess there could be subs that played as you say above but I'm not claiming it's ready for peer review.

It must have taken some time.

Thanks for presenting the data like you have.
