Ina Tolj

This humble Croatian winger leaves defenders in the dust with her blistering acceleration and velvet close control, though her occasional lapses in tactical positioning can keep the manager on his toes. To stay focused, she insists on braiding three strands of fresh garlic into her left shoelace before every kickoff, a ritual that leaves her bemused teammates keeping a polite social distance. Whether she is driving home a spectacular long-range strike or darting through traffic, she remains a whirlwind of grace on the pitch.
