Canada's Christin Sinclair congratulates Julia Grosso who scored the winning penalty kick to win the gold.As the penalty shootout between Canada and Sweden wound on, Christine Sinclair cycled through all the emotions like she was doing a mime routine.
Grosso, 20, was born four months after Sinclair scored her first international goal. How’s that for time being a round circle? Shorn of support and interest, teams had two primary tactics – kick the ball as far as you can and then knock down anyone in between you and it. Soccer is tougher than people give it credit for, but women’s soccer was seriously tough.This was the Australian way, the Scandinavian way and the Canadian way. Few other countries in the world – especially the traditional homes of the game – gave a damn.
The other traditional ‘powers’ have spent those 20 years in a scramble to get their games out of the 20th century.
What an incredible and inspiring journey! So proud of you!!
Unquestionably flag bearer for closing games - highest scoring international for men’s and women’s of all time - gold medalist
Best all around player in football history finally gets her GOLD!!! sincy12🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
