Riikka Johansson

With supersonic acceleration and a lethal instinct in front of goal, this Finnish striker leaves defenders struggling to catch up, even if her heading ability is practically nonexistent. Before every match, she insists on eating a pickled cucumber while balancing a cleat on her head, a bizarre ritual that leaves teammates alternating between shock and laughter. When the whistle blows, however, her unwavering focus takes over and it almost always results in a goal.
