Christel Bollen

Standing at a commanding 192cm, this Belgian wall reads the game with telepathic precision, often leaving strikers bewildered before she executes a lightning-fast interception. Once, she famously chased down a stadium intruder, cornering them with a slide tackle so perfectly timed it prompted the ref to almost give her a yellow card for sheer brilliance. Despite her defensive genius, she occasionally suffers from inexplicable lapses in concentration that can leave even her own teammates panicked.
