VANCOUVER -- She has scored more goals than anybody else in soccer and played more games than any other active player, but retirement isn't on the immediate horizon for Christine Sinclair.
"You can definitely only do this for a certain amount of time and I'm going to try to do it as long as I can." The night she broke the old goal-scoring record Sinclair was flooded with congratulations. Hearing from former tennis great Billie Jean King was "pretty special, I'm not going to lie."There was the first one she scored in her second international game on March 4, 2000, against Norway. She thinks her prettiest was a left-footed, one-timer to the far post during a tournament in Brazil in 2011.
Looking toward Tokyo, Sinclair said the United States women's team remains the biggest obstacle to Canadian success. "I'm the lone survivor from our team that has beaten them," said Sinclair. "They are the number one team in the world for a reason. That' being said they are not untouchable."
