I was always a fan of Nicole Cronin at 9. Very few players can move the ball around the pitch faster than her.
@Peter Cavey: Same, and I love her energy. But Dane brings a great element to the game too, particularly her control of the tempo.
@Ailbhe STAY HOME: I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings. This french team are arguably the best women’s team in the world right now.
