THINK YOU CAN PLAY FOOTBALL? MEET RAQUEL AND ALICE. FEMALE SOCCER PROS FROM BRAZIL AND FRANCE

These girls got game! Female soccer pros go undercover at an all-male game - and put the men's skills to shame with their fancy footwork 

Raquel Benetti, from Brazil, and Alice Fougeray, from France, dressed up as unlikely players to surprise a group of male athletes

The two women are actually professional freestyle soccer players, and were more than happy to show off their impressive skills on the field


Girl's got game: In a new video, two women take male soccer players by surprise with their impressive skills



Unlikely pros: The two women dress to make themselves less intimidating; one wears a sexy red dress, and the other disguises herself as a grandma


Bedrudging teammates: The girl in the red dress asks to play with the boys - and while they don't seem thrilled to let her join, they still say yes



Tougher than they look: One man tells the girl in the red dress (left) that she looks like she's going to the mall; her 'grandma' (right) comes to the rescue after she falls down



Surprise! The two women shock the men when they show them how good they really are, with the girl in the red dress easily scoring goals against the other team



Where'd that come from? Even the 'granny' is good at the game, which she plays after taking out her false teeth



Think fast! Both women even perform tricks with the soccer ball, running circles around the male players

The girl says that she's fine, but insists that now her grandma has to play with her - enraging the other players, one of whom says they are turning the game into a 'circus'. 





Total pros: As it turns out, the women are professional freestyle soccer players Raquel Benetti (left) and Alice Fougeray (right)

Not fair: The video notes that while the 2015 Women's World Cup was the most-watched soccer match in US history, female athletes still aren't treated the same as men


Fooled you! As the girl in the red dress, the men mistakenly assumed that Raquel (pictured) wouldn't be a skilled athlete


Think twice, guys: The men also thought that Alice (pictured), dressed as a grandma, would turn the game into a 'circus'




Don't let the heels fool you: Brazilian player Raquel is one of the top freestylers in South America


Show them the money: Despite talented women like Alice (left) and Raquel (right), female athletes earn lower salaries than their male counterparts



So much skill: Alice, who is French, was the first runner-up at the Freestyle Football World Championship
