Hermencia Botero

Towering at 190 cm with iron-clad hands, this Colombian goalkeeper commands her box with an eerie, zen-like calm that mocks the chaos of the strikers rushing her. She once famously intercepted a breakaway by catching a ball while mid-air in a diving horizontal leap, only to then offer the bewildered forward a polite apology. While she is an immovable force in the air, her tendency to stay glued to her goal line can occasionally leave her vulnerable when quick off-the-line action is required.
