Elina Alm

Towering over the midfield with effortless grace, she drifts past defenders as if floating, only let down by an occasionally clumsy first touch. Once, during a youth tournament in snowy Umeå, she famously abandoned a counter-attack to rescue a frozen cat from the touchline, returning to instantly leap three feet above her marker to hammer home a header. Her tranquil demeanor hides a motor that never quits, allowing her to ghost through the chaos of the pitch with serene composure.
