Brazil 2014: Arjen Robben sets new record.

Asides the fact that his team has not done badly so far, Netherlands winger, Arjen Robben has added another achievement to his list. He is now the world’s fastest footballer. The Bayern Munich talisman achieved the feat in the ongoing World Cup tournament. Last friday, on June 13, 2014 to be precise, he recorded a speed of 37km/h, the fastest ever clocked by a footballer during his team’s clash against Spain.

The record was previously held by Arsenal’s Theo Walcott who ran a recorded speed of 35.7km/h sometime in September 2010. The 25 year-old England player however congratulated him on twitter, “Robben, Congrats for beating my clocked speed but thought it looked a bit downhill. #SpeedMatters”.

Arjen Robben – 37km/h

Theo Walcott – 35.7km/h

Cristiano Ronaldo hits back at Wayne Rooney, "One player is not a team."

Don’t get it wrong. This has nothing to do with Portugal’s defeat yesterday. It all started during an interview with Manchester United star, Wayne Rooney on his preparations for the World Cup. He stated that unlike his former team mate Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s not driven by personal glory, rather he is after team success.

”I’m not a player who needs a legacy like Cristiano, he has to have that. I’m more about winning as a team. You can see how he is. He wants his moments. It’s more important for me to win trophies as a team. I’ve won PFA Player of the Year, which is nowhere near as good as winning a trophy with Manchester United. I’ve not won anything this year, so hopefully I can do that now.”

Responding to his comments, the Portugal player said he’s has nothing to show anyone. “Look at my statistics and my CV – I have nothing to prove. My career has been great so far and I just want that to continue. But I believe that one player is not a team. I am here to help the team. I am an additional player and I can make a difference, but I can’t carry the team on my back.” He added.

School refuses to personalise boy's Easter egg because he bears Wayne Rooney

His mother being a huge fan of Manchester United deemed it a good idea to name her son after her hero, Wayne Rooney. But unfortunately, this has been causing a lot of ripples in the boy’s school. 3 year-old Wayne wasn’t allowed to personalise his Easter Egg for copyright issues.

But Jo-anne Scholes, his 43 year-old was bewildered after learning about the school’s decision, “I can’t imagine Wayne Rooney would care less. It’s just nonsense anyway. Rooney is his name, does that mean he’s not allowed to have his name on anything because he shares it with a famous footballer? It’s really annoying because it turned what was meant to be a nice, personal gift into something which looked really impersonal and just a bit silly really. He’s been my favourite player for years just because of his style of play and the way he carries the team. I had a couple of nervy moments when it looked like Wayne might be off to Chelsea in the summer but thankfully he stayed where he belongs.”

Walcott is the finest, followed by Heskey, Lampard, Tevez, Beckham and Rooney. I don’t know who should take the last position between Messi and Ronaldo. Be the judge!
