Top 5 Female football players

Due to my interest in soccer and having played soccer myself for 5 years, I decided to broaden my knowledge and of course share this with others. Since soccer is becoming popular among women, I have decided to find out who the top 5 female football players are.
Mia Hamm holds a record for scoring the highest international goals this being why she is considered to be the greatest player of the history of women’s soccer. Mia became FIFA World Player of the year for twice in 2001 and 2002, with the second position in terms of highest international appearance with USA after her fellow team mate Kristine Lilly.
Birgit Prinz has been awarded as the FIFA world footballer of the year for three consecutive times from 2003-2005 and  has been the first women footballer to have been offered to play in the men’s professional league. In 2006 she also got an offer to join the Real Madrid women’s football team.
Kristine Lilly is the longest playing footballer for both men and women in terms of appearance. She has already played 310 international matches for her country and has already been the highest goal scorer for her country with 112 international goals. Kristine has won 2 world cups and 2 Olympic medals with her country.

Captian Faye White

Faye White is the captain of both Arsenal and English Women’s national team. In 1998 she got the chance for the 1st time to play for England’s national women’s football team against France. She has already won six FA Premier Leagues, five Women’s cups and five League cups and became the first played as the captain of England in 2002 against Nigeria.
Julie Foudy played 271 international matches for USA and she won 2 cups and 2 gold medals for her country in the Olympics. She started her international career in 1887 and retired in 2004 and was also became the President of the Women’s Sports Foundation.
