Getting to know... Amanda Da Costa
As Liverpool Ladies prepare to take on Notts County in a crucial Women's Super League clash on Sunday, we caught up with Amanda Da Costa to find out more about our American midfielder…
The Reds go into the game at the Select Security Stadium just two points behind league leaders Birmingham City as they aim to retain the league crown they lifted last year.
The Ladies have a special offer on for fans attending the contest - there's free entry for two children when an adult purchases a £5 adult ticket. Click here for details.
Da Costa will be amongst those in red aiming to help the current champions take a step towards reclaiming the trophy against County - and in the build-up to the game, the 24-year-old took a few moments out of her preparations to take Liverpoolfc.com's 'Getting to know...' quiz.
The best goal I've ever scored in my career was...
Last year against Arsenal at the Emirates. I scored a screamer with my left foot!
The songs I'm listening to on my iPod are...
I always love Slightly Stoopid and right now Ed Sheeran.
My party trick is...
I really enjoy painting. I wouldn't call it a party trick but I can be decent at it!
The last film I watched at the cinema was...
I saw the movie 'Bad Neighbours' with Seth Rogan. It was hilarious, I love a good laugh at the cinema.
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is...
Everything in moderation! I try to take care of my body and eat healthy, but cake once in a while won't kill you...
The best thing about playing for LFC Ladies is...
Just playing full time in general is the best part. I love how I can wear a pair of boots to work every day.
My reaction to our Champions League draw with Linkopings was...
I think we came out of the draw well. The first leg is going to be a tough one for us, but I am looking forward to seeing some new places!
Amanda Da Costa likes to visit Costa Coffee...
[Laughs] Amanda Da Costa loves Costa, specifically cappuccinos! I'm a big coffee drinker.
I think the game against Notts County will...
Be a season changer for us.
Liverpool fans should get down to the Select Security Stadium to watch the game because...
We need the three points and I guarantee an entertaining match. Your support can help us.
The best thing about the city of Liverpool is...
All of the random side streets in town with clever coffee shops and places to eat. Hint: Unit51.
The last time I was star struck was...
Well, I wasn't even star struck in person but Cristiano Ronaldo autographed a ball for me when I was young and I kept it near my bed for months.
My most vain teammate is...
I'm not really sure... Gemma Bonner doing her hair for pre-match is usually a spectacle.
My most stylish teammate is...
Natasha Dowie always seems to be ahead of the curve in terms of style. Sometimes I don't understand, but she does dress well!
My best game for LFC Ladies was...
Winning the league against Bristol 2-0 at home last season.
If I ruled the world for a day I would...
Throw one big mandatory party and make sure it was the best day anyone has ever had!
One thing I can't live without is...
Peanut butter... I usually spend £5 on the American type at Tesco.
My pre-match ritual is...
I always have to eat eggs, and a croissant with Nutella! There are more, though... I'm really superstitious.
The player I've tried to base my game on is...
I love Iniesta. He has been one of my favourites since I was little. I definitely try to learn from him.
