Messianic numbers

sport">“I am a very proud Canadian, when I was first selected for the national team, I had the dream to one day pass Mia Hamm,” Sinclair said. “I should clearly have aimed higher, not knowing that Wambach would ever catch up with Hamm, but I could never have imagined that I would achieve such a high number of goals. A huge “thank you” for everyone who supported me during my career. “

sport">Sinclair is not thinking about quitting. She still wants to go to the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The monster victory against St. Kitts & Nevis is already a first step in the right direction.

The Canadian is always good at major tournaments. She was the leader of the national team in four different finals, which is a record for the women. With the coming Games, a final can even be added here.
