Kany Phemba

This lightning-fast Congolese winger dances through defenses with lethal grace, even if her finishing does not always match her pure genius. To stay calm before kickoff, the squad watches with amusement as she ties her laces using only her thumbs and pinkies. It is a bizarre ritual that keeps her focused, having become an essential, quirk-filled part of the team's locker room routine.
