100 of the all time best FEMALE FOOTBALLERS Caroline Elwood-Stokes

It is clear the World Cup had a huge influence on the whole 100. With players such as Rapinoe, Rose Lavelle, Alex Morgan and Sari van Veenendaal enduring quiet years with their clubs, the World Cup helped push them to a higher level, whereas players such as Harder suffered for their lack of major tournament football. I would have liked to have seen some names higher up the list and others who featured high up a little further down, but in a sport where worldwide TV coverage is still a serious hindrance, it is no surprise the biggest tournament of all remained vivid in our judges' minds..
