    Default Short People Are Better At Soccer/Football.

    Short footballers are better because they have a low center of gravity, which makes It harder to knock them of the ball.
    Some examples:
    Marcin Garuch( 1.53, shortest Football player, winner of Polish Championship 2021-22).

    Elton Jose Xavier Gomes( 1.54, played in all elite teams of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE).

    Daniel Villalva( 1.55, winner of Argentinian first division 2014 and Copa Campeonato 2014).

    Maximiliano Moralez( 1.60, played MSL for more than 9 years).

    Lorenzo Insigne( 1.63, He had 122 goals in 122 matches with Napoli).

    Marta( 1.63, the best female footballer).

    Marco Verrati( 1.63, Euro 2020).

    Roberto Carlos( 1.65 on celebheights.com, one of the best free kick takers ever. Famous for curve goals. Also very strong legs).

    Diego Maradona( 1.65, one of the best).

    Romario( 1.67, best player of 1994 World Cup and he also won the World Cup this year).

    Mathieu Valbuena( 1.67, played 52 times for France).

    Joe Allen( 1.67, one of best Welsh players).

    Alexis Sanches( 1.68, the best Chilean player in recent years).

    Xherdan Shaqiri( 1.68, two times Champions League winner, played very well in 2014 World Cup).

    Jorge Campos( 1.68, goalkeepers can be short too. Nice goalkeeper that also played as forward).

    Lionel Messi, the GOAT( 1.69).

    Garrincha( 1.69, the best dribbler ever. He won the World Cup in 1958 and 1962).

    Xavi( 1.70, 2010 World Cup winner).

    Philipp Lahm( 1.70, idol of Bayern München and 2014 World Cup winner).

    Sneijder( 1.70, 2nd best player at 2010 World Cup and top scorer aside with Diego Forlan, David Villa and Thomas Muller and arguably deserved the Ballon D'or this year).

    Pele( 1.71, considerated by many the best player ever, at least before Messi started his carreer).

    Luka Modric( 1.72, Ballon D'or 2018).

    Andres Iniesta( 1.72, goal of the title in 2010 World Cup).

    Neymar( 1.74, 2011 Puskas Award).

    Eusebio( 1.75, Ballon D'or 1965).

    Kleberson( 1.75, 2002 World Cup winner).

    David Villa( 1.75, 2010 World Cup winner, one of top scorers and the 3rd best player of this World Cup).

    Rene Higuita( 1.76 goalkeeper, famous for his "scorpion" save).

    Cafu( 1.76, the best right back ever. The player with most games for the Brazilian national team and he won the World Cup, Copa América, Copa Libertadores, Champions League and Club World Cup, the only two other players that did the same were Julian Alvarez and Dida).

    Bebeto( 1.76, 1994 World Cup winner).

    OP never watches football and doesnt understand it, in football you have numerous positions which require different heights. You wouldnt want a number 9 or CB to be short in modern football.
