Strange how, while the Netherlands has the tallest population, their 2014 national team was nowhere near being the tallest at the World Cup.

CRonnie7 is 6'1. Tim Howard: 6'3. Just saying.

Goalkeepers like Howard though should always be tall for best success. I think pretty much all the great goalkeepers in football are tall. For the other positions it depends a lot on play style but the shorter guys can definitely be just as good as the taller ones.

Very true. That is why I greatly prefer football to basketball.
