re: soccer. i seem to remember that top-form midfielders do about 5-8 miles in a 90 min match, full time on the pitch. it's just that you never stop and you're changing speed and direction so much. best sport in the world, bar none.

ok - just looked it up, and yes the average appears to be in the 5-8 miles range for a 90 minute game. I always play 2 hours, and was assuming 5-10 mph (my typical running rate) - thus, the 10-20. I would agree, the 20 is probably high, and would revise my guestimate to 8-12 in a 2 hr game. I'd agree, it is a great sport to keep me in shape! And tons of fun also!
