Birgitte Smed

After conquering a childhood fear of aggressive geese that left her sprinting away from parks, this towering Danish midfield engine channeled that panic into pure, relentless physical dominance on the pitch. Standing at 181cm, she ruthlessly bullies opponents in the air and boasts a velvet-soft touch, though her sluggish acceleration can sometimes leave her flat-footed. She knows she is the best player on the grass and makes sure every defender feels it.
