He can look 6”1 standing on his own, I think you can realise he’s more 6 foot and some change when he’s standing next to other players, e.g. Ronaldo, Kaka, Ramos, Bale. I do think he doesn’t have the best posture, he rarely ever stands straight, in comparison to his compatriots. I think the listing is fair at 6”0.25, however I wouldn’t rule out 6”0.5 with a good posture, mid day without exercise.

I think if you're looking to cut back on eigth listings this guy should have been one of the first to go. He wasn't even measured 183.8 and I think hes always looked solid/strong six foot and a prime example of 6ft0.25.

Perhaps just under/very close to 184 cm last thing at night but always over 183.5 cm - very similar height to myself.

183.0 at his low isn't unlikely. Could also fall slightly below 6'0 at his extreme low.

Him and I would be very close. I am between 185.5 - 186 cm or just over 6ft 1 first thing out of bed and fall to a low of just over 6ft 0.25 at night (between 183.6 -184cm). Around 6ft ⅜ is my low, so a fairly classic 184 cm really. Quite often 6ft 0.5 around midday.

I think it is fair to say you're Benzemas height twin. I doubt he's taller than you,I think either this listing or 6ft0.25 for Karim.

Deserves a slight downgrade. Even i'm 1cm taller three hours after waking and after a decent amount of walking so i highly doubt benzema's actual height is only 0.3cm shorter than his earlier day measurement, specially if its an earlier day measurement. 183.2cm (6ft 1/8) would be a perfect downgrade. The average guesses were also something like that a year ago. Lunchtime measurement is too early to be taken into consideration as actual height.

Yeah Appe,whatever Ronaldo's height is he edges him too comfortably.I think around an inch difference is more likely.Btw CR was measured 186,5 and Benzema 184,1.I could see Ronaldo being 185,5 and Benzema 183 in the late evening.
I'm ruling out 184 evening let alone 185.He was listed at 182cm back to his Lyon days in 2007 and later they changed it to 183(2008).182 could be a measurement dating back to his junior years as he started very early with Lyon but I doubt he grew after 2008.

He is not taller than Bale in my opinion. I disagree with my friend Johnson when he says he was measured at 184.5 in the morning. I think he is no more than 1.84 flat in the morning at most.
To be honest, he looks 3 cm shorter than Cristiano.
I won't be convinced unless I see a video of him being measured without shoes being over 6 ft.

Seems quite a generous listing to me I'd have thought more 6ft-6ft0.25. I'm slightly sceptical of those old Real Madrid listings,some of them seem accurate but others like Ozil being listed 181, and carvalho only listed 181 or Ronaldo measuring taller than Kaka or Pepe measuring 187.1 when he looks 185.5-6 seem questionable.
Seems quite a generous listing to me I'd have thought more 6ft-6ft0.25.

You should add that this year is listed 1.85 and 81.2 kg
As you say. Footballers are measured morning so it is no surprise that if you Rob give 1.83.8 evening can be 184.5 (rounded 185 in metric) or over busting guts

Rob, could you give Mario Götze and Joshua Kimmich an own site?

Editor RobThere's a ton of potential top players over the last 15 years who are all arguably worthy an entry, Benzema I think shouldn't be listed on the web as 185cm as he never looks that tall.
