Jocelyne Poncelet

This Belgian engine dictates the midfield with blistering speed and aerial dominance, though her notoriously heavy first touch occasionally sparks a momentary heart-in-mouth scramble. Before kickoff, she insists on braiding three strands of dry spaghetti into her hair, a ritual that leaves her teammates both bewildered and suspiciously eager to win. Her relentless energy makes her a terror to face for a full ninety minutes.
