So I was scrolling through my feed yesterday and saw this buzz about women’s football blowing up lately. Thought, hey why not dive in and share who’s really setting the pitch on fire right now? Grabbed my laptop around morning coffee time and got to work.
The Starting Struggle
First mistake? Typing “top female players” into Google. Instant regret. Got swamped with outdated lists and gossip sites. Spent like an hour clicking trash links before smacking my forehead: duh, check actual match stats instead. Pulled up FIFA rankings and league databases. Filtered by recent goals/assists like a madman.
Narrowing It Down
Had 30 names blinking at me. Way too many. Made two rules: must be active in pro leagues NOW, and must have viral moments this season. Watched highlight reels till my eyes crossed. That Spanish midfielder dribbling past three defenders? Keep. That Norwegian striker’s bicycle kick? Hell yes. Axed anyone without recent fire footage.
The Final Cut Chaos
Down to 15 players. My phone buzzes – buddy texts “forgot Putellas?!” Almost choked. Rushed back to add her even though she’s recovering from injury. Then realized I skipped whole continents! Dug into African and Asian leagues found insane talent no one talks about. Added that Kenyan speed demon and Japanese playmaker last minute.
Putting It Together
Finally organized them into positions like:
- Goalkeepers: That Aussie wall stopping penalties like it’s nothing
- Defenders: Brazilian twin terrors shutting down wings
- Midfield: Dutch magician with laser-pass accuracy
- Forwards: Canadian rocket with back-to-back hat tricks
Wrote each profile like I was hyping them to buddies at a pub. No fancy jargon, just “she’ll nutmeg you before breakfast” energy.
Last Minute Panic
Pressed publish. Immediately spotted a typo in the Polish striker’s name. Fixed it sweating bullets. Then remembered FIFA suspensions might’ve snuck in. Triple-checked every player’s eligibility – almost missed that French star’s red card situation. Edited faster than a counterattack.
Posted it with cold coffee beside me. Realized women’s football has more hidden gems than I ever imagined. These players? Absolute warriors. Next time someone says “women’s football is boring” I’ll just shove this post in their face.
