Lineke Booij

This Dutch winger electrifies the pitch with blistering pace and a shot so devastating it defies the laws of physics, even if her clinical finishing occasionally wavers. True to her flamboyant nature, she always chews exactly seven pieces of Dutch licorice before kickoff, a ritual so bizarre that her teammates pretend not to see it so as not to break her concentration. With exquisite skill and a flair for the spectacular, she is an artist of the game who remains as unpredictable as she is essential.
