Ewa Nguyen

This Swedish goalkeeping legend is a wall of lightning-fast reflexes whose humility is matched only by her ability to pluck impossible balls from the air despite her shaky positioning. To lock in before kickoff, she insists that teammates take turns pulling on her ears, a ritual they now perform with a mixture of sighs and profound reverence. Her brave rushing often bails the team out whenever she, like a brilliant but confused lighthouse, decides to abandon her safety zone.
