You all have your favourite players from the professional men's game, but who are your favourite players in the women's form? World player of the year Birgid Prinz? Skilful Brazilian Marta? Or maybe England winger Rachel Yankey?

My current favourite player from the women's game is Hanna Marklund. The Swedish centre-half had a great Euro 2005 and looks set to be a key figure in Sweden's World Cup hopes of improving on their runner-up position to Germany in World Cup 2003.

Name: Hanna Marklund
Born: 1977
Position: Defence
Club: Sunnanå SK

my favourite is Kara Lang, number 15 of canada who plays striker and centre back interchangeably. she gets in there tough and has a wicked long range strike (by women's standards).

my favorite female football player is any women who looks fine while playing football.

Kara Lang for me aswell, greatshot(by any standards), and not bad looking either

Now I need some education in this area, but Arsenal have an 18 yo Chic, and I think she has a good first touch, and good technique.
I would like to compliment her in other ways but i do feel that It would be disrespecting Women's football, and the women in my Life would not be too proud of me.

not bad looking at all. she is a great footballer and a total babe too

Just the sort of reply that we don't want in this forum. Try to add a little to the conversation next time.

I think you may mean Lianne Sanderson Soffa, who has become a regular in the Arsenal Ladies side in recent seasons, despite being just 17/18.

Well I guess I will have to be biased here, Mia Hamm, not only because she is the greatest woman who ever played the game but also because she developed football here( I haven't lived in the US long enough but I know that when a sports player gets his/her picture on gatorade they must be good,lol), no but seriously she is a great player when it comes to individual strength and will to change a game around.
She. almost all by herself has taken the US NT to world cup and Olympic glory, I think she deserves some respect.

I admit I don't watch much professional women's football, but my vote goes for Mia Hamm. A great individual and team player.

Jol's Army.... think this WAS meant to be a serious topic...


The first player I really liked was Mia Hamm - AMAZING player and has lead the USWNT to many victories.

However, current and long time favourite player is Tiffany Milbrett.

Name: Tiffany Milbrett
Born: October 23, 1972
Position: Striker
Club: USWNT, played for the New York Power (WUSA).

I respect her a lot because she's just extremely talented. But also because she dislikes former coach April Heinrichs just as much as me . She left the national team in 2003/2004 basically because she felt Heinrichs didn't trust the players or allow freedom on the field (I highly disliked their style of play with Heinrichs... can't say i've seen any current games to know if it's changed). So, on all that, her skill and desire to play the game like it was meant to be played is what puts her on the top of my list.

Jol's army there is a difference between hotties thread meaning and this threads meaning. Your posting in the wrong one bud

Well Josefine Oeqvist is my favourite player...

Anyway I'll move them to the hotties thread, I dont wana start a bad precedent.

Name : Julie Fleeting
Born : 18 December 1980
Position : Striker
Height : 5 ft 9 ins

Totally agree with all of that.

Mia Hamm can own your life

Can we have a Fit women footballers thread? Oh Mia Hamm because shes the only one ive heard of.

who the hell watches women soccer.....ive heard of one good woman and her name is mia hamm...lol idk shit bout women soccer except that the u.s.a. dominates

mia hamm! she has style!

but birgit prinz is very good too!

and nia künzer! she has scored the goald that made germany wc! so she is cool too!

Marta!!! Who else?? Woman´s football practically don´t exist in Brasil. There is only a few clubs and no money being invested at all. She´s a hero, every brasilian person should be proud, not only of her, but from all those girls that won the silver medal on the Olympics last year.

Full name: Marta Vieira da Silva
D.O.B: 19/02/1982
Place of Birth: Francisco Pacheco (AL)

Achievements: Pan-American champion in 2003 - Santo Domingo
Silver Medal on 2004 Olympics - Athenas






GO MARTA!!!!!!

One of my favourites has to be Julie Fleeting of Arsenal Ladies and Scotland. She has a great strike-rate of scoring 90 goals in 82 matches.

My other Arsenal favourites are Rachel Yankey, Kelly Smith, Leanne Sanderson, Kelly Lawrence and Alex Scott.

I also like Aloko of Charlton as she is talented and young, so a good prospect for the future.

I'm a bit biased seeing I've grown up in Canada, so my vote goes for the entire NT team. Like many have mentioned, Kara Lang is an immensely talented footballer with loads of potential.

Charmaine Hooper. What more can I say, except that she's the core of the NT team. She's so disciplined and focused up front. She hasn't been a full-time starter now that she's grown older, but she fights for her spot on that roster like a 20 year old rookie (in a good way). It's a shame that not many people outside the world of Canadian football take the time to appreciate what she's done for the NT. All-time scorer for Canada, most caps.

Apparently you don't watch womens' soccer... otherwise you'd know that Germany is dominating now. Hopefully another country can bring them some competition at some point though, i'd love to see it.

On a side note, I watch womens' soccer and love it. I also watch mens' soccer and love it. Both are just different style of games.

Cashbroker... Hooper's one of my favourites aswell .

when did germany start to dominate?

Since they have Birgit Prinz... Fifa women's player of the year (twice), Germany's leading goal scorer (I believe). The national team has won the World Cup (2003 - beat out the US 3-0 in the semi's), and the last four UEFA championships (1995, 1997, 2001, 2005). Not saying the US is a bad team, cause they're still up there with the top teams... but they aren't what they used to be - that or the game is changing and better teams are stepping up.

The US deffinitly ain't what they used to be without Mia, Brandi, and Julie. Without out them they are just a good team instead of a great team

I thought there might be a few suggestions for a thread of this type

Boys will be boys...

I think I'll start a pinned thread.

that's not true. i actually went to st. thomas aquinas school and i happen to know it's in brampton. if you want proof i can show you my uniforms n gym uniforms n stuff. it ain't in oakville i've been there too.

and i never heard anybody mention kara lang went to STA. she is one of the best players on the canadian team and if she came from the school i'm sure at least ONE person would have mentioned her. and also if i'm not mistaken kara is only 3 years older than me. i have never seen her at the school buddy.

although i might be wrong but this is what i know.

Marinette Pichon

She first represented her country in 1994, and from 15 May 2005, she has 74 goals from 94 appearances in the French team.




Kelly Smith
Arsenal & England

Name : Rachel Unitt
Age : 23

favorite femaile player? Sun Wen of China back when she was in top form

Faye White from Arsenal ladies

I have two favorite.. Andrea Neil and Amy Apps...cuz they are both amazing soccer players for Canada, and I've met both of them..and they come to my academy to coach/train us. Amy comes every monday..they're so awesome..

heres Andrea:



I can't find a picture of Amy..but shes cool..

Come on people only one person mentioned Marta she is the best from now on

I thought you guys knew

Well this is a thread for favourite player so people can choose who they like the most not who they think is the best player. However, I agree with you that Marta will soon become the number one player in women's football and her talent will win her many many fans

1. Mia Hamm


2. Fara Williams
