PORTLAND, OR - OCTOBER 2: Forward Christine Sinclair #12 of Canada celebrates after defeating China in the quarterfinals of the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup match at PGE Park on October 2, 2003 in Portland, Oregon. Canada defeated China 1-0.
Her efforts and accomplishments have always stood Christine Sinclair above everyone else in Canadian soccer. How do you begin to describe the impact Christine Sinclair has made on Canadian soccer? Is it possible to sum up more than two decades of blood, sweat, tears and triumph?"I think the best way is that Christine Sinclair is Canadian soccer," long-time teammate Diana Matheson told CBC Sports.
She is the very definition of character. Of quiet leadership. Of mentorship. Of showing up for your teammates. Of leaving the game better than which you found it. Even the worst World Cup performance by Canada in 2011 still had one of the most memorable Sinclair goals. In their opening match against hosts Germany, Sinclair famously took a crunching elbow to the nose from defender Babett Peter. Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod told FIFA.com that Sinclair's nose looked like "a big zig-zag."
"She felt superhuman. It didn't feel real. Because the U.S. were the giants, the world's No. 1, an absolute beast. We hadn't beaten them in 11 years. Our chances of winning that game were 0.06 per cent," Moscato said in an interview with CBC Sports in 2020. "To see someone dominate their backline, catch them off guard, beat them in the blindspot, everything that she was able to do.
