Xiomara Vergara

This reserved Panamanian is an unrelenting defensive machine whose brilliant game IQ and explosive speed suffocate any attack, despite her glaring weakness in aerial duels. Before every match, she balances her left cleat on her index finger to find her focus, a quirky ritual that leaves her teammates watching with amused bewilderment. She prowls the pitch with a blend of cold, tactical calculation and fierce, aggressive intent.
