Players with the highest distance covered in the 2014 FIFA World Cup

Netherlands’ Arjen Robben (2nd L), Daley Blind (2nd R) and Stefan de Vrij (1st R) of the Netherlands are among the players to have covered the highest distance throughout the tournament. 

Louis van Gaal’s men are known for their commitment on the pitch, but the fact that six out of the ten players who have covered the highest distances in the 2014 FIFA World Cup are all Dutch could be a bit surprising.

Finalists Germany have three representatives in the form of Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos and skipper Philipp Lahm in this list, while only Javier Mascherano of Argentina has made it to the top ten.
