Anita Brekke

Towering over defenders, this friendly Norwegian striker pairs lethal finishing and thunderous shot power with a deceptive, cat-like agility that belies her stature. Her rise was forged after being laughed off a regional dance troupe for her clunky gait, an indignity that transformed into a tireless, obsessive drive to master nimble, close-quarters dribbling. Though she occasionally struggles to find top speed on long runs, her masterful attacking intelligence ensures she is always in the perfect spot to silence the crowd.
