Karina Bogado

This towering Paraguayan defender dominates the air with fierce determination, though her fiery temperament sometimes causes her to boil over. Before kickoff, she keeps teammates amused by chewing on a dry tea bag to "absorb the wisdom of the pitch," a bizarre superstition she follows religiously. Her elite speed and defensive reading make her an immovable wall, despite the fact that her ground-level tackling remains surprisingly shaky.
