Thandiwe Hlongwane

Standing tall, this South African striker combines terrifying explosive pace with a cool-headed lethal finish that freezes goalkeepers in their tracks. While her agility can occasionally betray her on sharp turns, her ability to sky over defenders for headers is unmatched. Once, as a teenager, she famously kept a stray leopard cub calm by calmly whistling her signature set-piece routine until local authorities arrived to intervene.
