Birthe Hougaard

Towering over the midfield with unmatched pace, she moves with a terrifyingly calm clinical efficiency that often masks her clumsy struggles with long-distance passing. Before kickoff, she insists on eating exactly three raw almonds while wearing her socks inside out, a quirk her teammates silently ignore while marveling at how she completely shuts down opponents. She is a defensive juggernaut who glides across the pitch, leaving strikers stranded in her wake.
