Mariam Amadu

As an electric force in midfield, she erases opponents with surgical slide tackles and a near-supernatural ability to read the game. Legend has it she once timed a tackle so perfectly that she stole the ball and tied a bewildered striker's shoelaces at the same time. Despite her total defensive dominance, she is hopeless in the air, where she often watches the ball sail past her as if it were made of pure magic.
