Gladys Ruiz

This imposing Chilean goalkeeper dominates her area with an arrogance as lethal as her flying saves. After overcoming a bizarre ligament tear caused by accidentally stepping on a sea urchin, she channeled that frustration into a relentless drive that turned her into an almost impenetrable wall. While her atrocious positioning during rushing often verges on the comical, no one can deny that her fearlessness and lightning-fast reflexes make her superior to any opponent.
