Studies reveal that the average for a midfielder playing in a first class European team is about 12 kms/match, or 7.45 miles/90 min.
Same studies reveal that a South American player, playing as a midfielder in a first class South American team is only the half of that.

Statistics done by companies such as Gatorade and Nike have found that the average soccer player will run at least 6 miles every game. However depending on the certain athletes level of skill and the position he/she plays influences how much the run.
So in a game a midfielder probably runs close to 8/9 miles, a defender probably around 7 and a forward could be anywhere from 5-10, depending on the game.

That's really amazing. A 4.4 40 shows you've got greatest burst and acceleration and the sub 5 min. mile shows you've got really good endurance. Being completely honest, I'm not a coach or an expert on this matter but I pretty sure that these numbers could def. compare to world class players. Not sure what numbers they have in the mile but your time means your in great shape and can keep it up for an extend amount of time. And the 4.4 is crazy fast. Fernando Torres(Liverpool Striker) can run a 100meters in about 10 seconds, i would believe that would translate to about a 4.3 or 4.4 40yd. time. And I'm sure you know that Torres is often complemented on his great speed. The main thing to remember though is that these are just numbers, not your skills. It's important to be able to skillfully use your athletic ability in adapt it to your role on the field. And don't be satisfied, they're good no doubt, but they can always be better.

Studies have shown that Beckham runs 8 miles in each match. Other than that I do not know, but it would depend on position. Defenders would run the least, followed by forwards, and midfielders run the most.

5-9 miles
It depends on alot of things like their position and their running endurance, but if they are really hunting for the ball their milage will go 5+.
