Oduro rated fifth fastest player in the world on "Fifa 15"

Ghanaian forward Dominic Oduro scored some high marks in the latest "FIFA 15" video game ratings. The Toronto FC attacking midfielder has been pegged as the fifth-fastest player in the world, according to the hit made-in-Vancouver game.

Mathis Bolly of Fortuna Dusseldorf is rated the fastest, ahead of Arsenal's Theo Wolcott, Parma's Jonathan Biabiany and Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Oduro comes in slightly ahead of Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, the Welsh speedster, who still holds the record as the most expensive player in the world.

Others behind Oduro include Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben.

"It's good to get that recognition," Oduro, a 29-year-old attacking midfielder from Ghana, told his club's website with a smile.

"It's good you get appreciated for the little things that you do." Oduro calls the video game ranking all "fun and games" but said it was good recognition for MLS.

Ironically Oduro said he is "really bad" at the FIFA game. "Any time I play, obviously I try to use myself and I try to pass the ball myself every time," he said.
