9. Julie Johnston
Julie Johnston is an American soccer player for the Women’s World Cup soccer team. She is pretty, blond, and 5’7”. She is also a wickedly good soccer player. Grantland says that she has engineered an almost airtight defense, giving for example the game against Chile in the 2015 Women’s World Cup in which the goalkeeper “scarcely saw any action.”
But people don’t tend to think of her as a soccer powerhouse. After the Americans tied with Sweden in the World Cup, a reporter said to her: “Julie, you have a face like an angel and you tackle like an absolute beast.” Although he nodded to her skill, he led with a reference to how pretty a girl she is.
