Jessica Chirinos

This Venezuelan dynamo dominates the box with frightening elevation and lightning speed, though her timing on slide tackles can be occasionally reckless. Before every kick-off, she insists on having a masseur tie her laces in a perfect palindromic sequence, an absurd ritual that leaves teammates staring in a mix of disbelief and admiration. She is an indefatigable defensive anchor who strikes pure terror into opposing strikers.
