@Emily Caption literally says it was roughly 10am which is morning so i doubt anybody is exhausted in the morning after a few hours of being up. 183.5cm was probably slightly earlier with busting a gut. This listing is spot on. Very similar to Ramos

Listing shouldn't be lower than this. That 182.6 cm was most likely when he was exhausted and already compressed from a long night. 5'11.5 would be unwarranted

@Slim
Well, his shoulders look very narrow. And it is quite apparent that he generally has a small bone structure. A guy like Zidane, who played roughly the same position on the pitch, had a much larger frame than Rakitic. Zidane was 3cm taller but probably weighed 8-12kg more than him; and Zidane was not particularly muscular, so it's mainly a frame-size difference.

He has an exceedingly small frame for a near six-footer. I'm not inclined to believe the various weight listings I was able to find in the range of 76-78kg. He looks to weigh a maximum of 70kg to me, but guessing weight is of course an elusive business. Can't really conceive of anything above 73kg in the morning.

He is exactly as tall as me. Out of bed height is normally about 183.5cm, but my max is 183.9cm after a good night sleep. I am exactly 182.9 cm (6 ft) after about 2 hours waking up. My normal low is about 182cm. I just round up and claim 6 ft (183cm for metric).

Rob I haven’t seen the 182,5cm measurements but in the 183,5cm one he stayed (from the picture) with a perfect posture with the “Bust a Gut” measurement. Of course the measurement probably was made in the morning so he might have been a good half-cm taller than his usual low height, however I think we should assume that many measurements were made with that method so people have to keep their best/maximum posture.
You don’t think maybe 6’/183cm would be better for him? Actually I think 182cm is a small downgrade for him...

It's possible I suppose for the 182.6 measurement he'd been up all night signing paperwork etc and getting things organised for the move to Barca. If that was the case then we're talking about his lowest range in which case he'd be a solid 6 footer.

I think Rakitic is not 182.6cm but 183.5cm as we can see from a different measurement.
Then,
Suarez 180cm seems ok personally
Bartra looks at least 183cm (maybe 184cm can be better)
Ter Stegen between 184 and 185cm
Claudio Bravo 183,5 cm (like Rakitic): there is a video clip about his measurement

First of all, are those machines very accurate, Rob? Second, Rakitic got a mesaurement which was near a cm taller than another measurement which is supposed to have done in the morning, 10 am... So, the only explanation is that they've been measured litterally "out of bed", like they slept near the clinic and measured right after they woke up! Pique does look shorter than a guy like Ibra and visibly shorter than Kobe, i can't believe he's really 194.7!!! He looks more near 192, so 194.7 out of bed is not impossible but that can't be his low...

I would list him as 182,5 or 183 cm. Medical measurement is normally like 3 hours o more since you wake up. His height there is very real and very close to evening measurent. The morning height quickly go down when you are 3 hours outside of bed, so if he was measured at 18:00 that day, I bet he woudn't not be less tan 182,5. Rakitic perhaps when he woke up that day was around 183,5

Andrea it depends by his shrinkage amount.
Also if he wokes up at 8am, then at 10 am he could have already lost about 60% of his daily amount, considering that a person can loose roughly 1 cms in the first hour since he woke up...
182,6 cms after 2 hours might be a 181,8-9 cms at low point, so 5'11.75" is the best listing I'd say...5'11.5" would be extremely prudential
This is the reason why the morning height isn't the best height!
