Sharon Fariña

Towering over defenders, this Argentine striker dances past opponents with lightning feet, even if her erratic finishing often leaves the goal frame rattled instead of the net. To get into the zone, she insists on eating exactly three raw almonds while balancing one on her nose, a pre-match ritual that forces her teammates to look away in embarrassed silence. She plays with an unshakeable, arrogant swagger that suggests she is the only person on the pitch who knows how beautiful the game is supposed to be.
