My only gripe with this set is that most of the faces are the standard

Three lipsticks, two smileys (one with eyebrows) and an Anakin.

After all, they're supposed to be playing soccer, not dolled up with
lipstick and mascara!

I'd been hoping that all the faces would have been more distinctly
female in appearance, as I am always keen to increase my female minifig
collection.
I like using smileys for girls! My pirate captain, Jane Hookhand, wouldn't
be caught dead wearing makeup (but apparently has no qualms about wearing
pigtails...hmmm)

Here's a question for you Lego trivia experts. Which Lego sets feature
more than 1 female minifig (apart from the women's soccer team)? I don't
think there can be very many.
Most of the early legoland ones with more than one fig without gender
defining hairpieces? ;-)

At some later point in my life, I will sit down and try to rationalise
why a card-carrying feminist like myself wants minifigs with lipstick
lips and mascara-ed eyelashes :-)

We all have our double standards! At S'Fest X, I boldly stated that I never
apply stickers to LEGO bricks because it limits their usefulness ... but
then Anthony pointed out that I happily draw on minifigs. (I'm still trying
to rationalise that one!).
