SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP)—An American teenager is making a splash in Brazilian women’s soccer.

Leah Lynn Gabriela Fortune, a 17-year-old who speaks very little Portuguese and goes to school in the United States, is attracting a lot of attention as a member of Brazil’s Under-20 squad.

Not only is Fortune an American playing for Brazil, she also uses a novel throw-in move that has made the highlight reels in sports shows across Brazil.

To the delight of fans, Fortune has in her bag of tricks the flip throw, in which she does a front flip with the ball in her hands and can propel it some 30 meters and into the penalty area.

I know it is women's soccer but we are talking American on their squad.
