narduch Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Suggestion by Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail that Sinclair should carry the flag for Canada at the closing ceremonies. I agree! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/olympics/why-not-christine-sinclair-for-flag-bearer-at-closing/article4468542/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I thought of creating a thread for Christine Sinclair breaking the all time goals record yesterday. I was trying to decide between calling out the record itself in the title or just putting her name with "Legend" or "GOAT" or something to that effect. But I looked to see if there was a generic thread that already existed, and I loved the title of this one Now some videos and links honouring her amazing accomplishment. And here is one with reactions. I have a history of hating Abbey Wambach (possibly unfairly, it's hard to tell in sports fandom) but she gave a classy tribute to Sinclair in this, including what appears to be a video produced by/with Abbey just for this occasion? I assume that's Abbey narrating? https://www.bardown.com/sports-world-congratulates-christine-sinclair-on-becoming-all-time-international-leading-scorer-1.1434816 dyslexic nam and Canuckia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Tim and Sid just had her on for a great interview. Nothing firm in terms of how long she plans to stay around but the door is open. Plus Sid gives a shout out to the V’s. Olympique_de_Marseille and Canuckia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Unusual for Sinclair, she has been doing the media rounds in promoting her book. The TSN interview seems to be longest. She is looking to see Davies & Atiba at the World Cup. She thinks the agreement re equal pay is close to being signed. She says the CSA is listening to the players but were caught off guard with the success on the pitch by both teams. They don't help themselves at times but they are trying to support the programs & individuals. Mixed feelings about the CSA but they have supported her in getting to where she is today. Matheson has 2 sponsors behind a women's league. She doesn't want NWSL in Canada - she wants a domestic league. Canada's female player development pathway is more by chance than by design. It's scary the resources the other countries are now putting into the women's game. https://www.tsn.ca/soccer/video/christine-sinclair-talks-her-new-book-playing-the-long-game-a-memoir~2557141 Edited November 6, 2022 by red card rkomar and narduch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) 60 NWSL regular season goals. Only Kerr (77) has scored more in the league. Edit: Lynn Williams also scored her 60th NWSL goal on the weekend. She has only never scored against the Courage.

There have been 6 posts on this thread in the 3.5 years since Sinclair broke the international goals record. Today I got my 2nd like for the first post about her record breaking goal 3.5 years ago. That's insane. I don't aim to play the sexism card at all, but if Liam Millar got an assist against a 4th tier team in a cup game and his dad said he was proud it would get 20 likes. But a post about a Canadian having the most international goals all time regardless of gender gets 2 likes? I'm not surprised it's lower than posts about the men's team, but it's insanely low in my opinion. There have only been 7 posts including this one since she broke the record 3.5 years ago (props to red card for making most of them). There were 0 posts between the 2012 Olympic Semi Final (before the first bronze) and her record breaking 185th goal (well after the 2nd bronze, before the gold, although there were no posts here about the gold). So congratulations again Christine on the greatest Canadian international career of all time. Congrats on the Bronze, the other bronze, the goals record, and the gold medal! Good luck in this year's World Cup!!! Edited June 25, 2023 by Kent Some spelling corrections. Onelessstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkomar Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 She doesn't like the limelight and what else is there to say about her? After a while you run out of words. I will say this, though, I would love to see her win a World Cup. It's a long shot, but I think the world would actually be happy for her.
