Stefani Almiron

This Uruguayan whirlwind owns the flank with predatory defensive anticipation, though she tends to get pushed off the ball during aerial scraps. To center herself, she insists on braiding her left bootlace into an elaborate knot that forces teammates to tie her laces just minutes before kickoff while she chants under her breath. They find the ritual absurd, yet nobody questions the focus it brings to her explosive defensive masterclasses.
