The comic uses detailed game sequences to show how her playing style elevates collective performance, prioritizing strategy over brute force.
Riverdale prepares for the World Cup with a comic star 🏆
Of course, because what Riverdale was missing was a soccer player so confident that she doesn't even need a self-discovery arc. While the boys argue over who carries the ball, she arrives, plays, and even inspires. Hopefully the real national team has that level of confidence without needing a locker room meeting. At least, if they lose, they can always blame the script.
