Nada Antony

This flamboyant Qatari shot-stopper is a master of the spectacular save, though her occasional lapses in positional discipline leave teammates holding their breath. Before every kickoff, she meticulously braids a lock of hair belonging to her lucky, neon-green goalkeeper gloves, a bizarre ritual that leaves the squad shaking their heads in amusement. Despite her brilliance in one-on-one situations, everyone knows that a momentary lapse in concentration is just part of the show.
