Britt-Inger Hallström

Towering over opponents, this Swedish defensive powerhouse combines elite stamina with a fiery, take-no-prisoners attitude that once saw her get cautioned for intimidating a referee by aggressively shielding him from the rain with her own body. She is an aerial master with a flawless tactical brain, though her desperation to stop every ball often leads to clumsy lunges that keep teammates on their toes. Whether she is dominating the skies or executing bone-crunching tackles, her relentless intensity ensures that no striker survives her orbit for long.
