Sirpa Malm

This powerful Swedish full-back dominates the air with sheer authority, even if her reckless sliding tackles sometimes keep her teammates on edge. To find her focus before kick-off, she obsessively balances an unopened soda can on her head, a strange ritual that always leaves the squad simultaneously laughing and holding their breath. Her assertive style and unrelenting physical presence turn her into a one-woman blockade that nobody gets past.
