Mária Nemcová

This charismatic Slovakian midfield engine dominates the air with nearly supernatural heading and leaping ability, often complemented by a ferocious, unhinged aggression on the pitch. Legend has it she once sent a header so powerful during her youth that it pierced the stadium roof, an incident she still finds hilariously funny today. While her explosive sprint speed remains a lethal weapon, her occasionally clumsy first touch can make for some nervy moments under pressure.
