Leah Fortune
Leah Lynn Gabriela Fortune is a Brazilian-American association footballer who previously played for the National Women's Soccer League club Orlando Pride.Biography
She was born in São Paulo to missionary parents and grew up in Illinois. FIFA.com describes her as "one of the more unusual players" in the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup, and describes her style of taking throw-ins as "a remarkable long throw, the prelude of which is a spectacular forward flip to help her launch the ball a long way into the area".
In November 2010, Leah was called up to the Brazil women's national football team. However, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament, leaving her out of football for months in recovery.
By virtue of her dual nationality, she could have had the opportunity to play at the senior international level for either Brazil or the United States.
