Marta will go down as one of the greatest women soccer players of all time, if not the greatest.
She was the face of Women’s Soccer for nearly a decade. She is a six-time Women’s Player of the Year who dazzled everyone with her ability from the moment she came on to the scene as a 17-year-old in the 2003 World Cup.

After her teams defeat to France she made sure to let the next generation know that the game depended on them.
