Dayana Afonso

After overcoming the heartbreak of being cut from ballet school for having feet too large for the slippers, this Portuguese midfielder poured her frustration into mastering a magical first touch and hypnotic dribbling. She dances through defensive lines with elite agility and brilliant attacking vision, always accompanied by a disarmingly friendly smile. While she can outmaneuver any defender, her occasional struggle to find the back of the net from distance remains the one hurdle in her pursuit of perfection.
