Ali Krieger

What strikes me about Ali Krieger is versatility paired with grit. At Penn State she earned All-American honors as both a midfielder and a defender, which tells me she reads the game far better than her highlight reel suggests. Standing 168 cm and playing right back, she spent over a decade neutralizing some of the biggest forwards in women's soccer, helping the United States win two World Cups across more than a hundred caps. I value players who do the unglamorous defensive work without complaint, and Krieger built a career on exactly that. She is, to me, a model of professional consistency and toughness.
