The accolades flooded in from an array of admirers after Christine Sinclair broke the international goal record last week. It was a lot of attention for the soft-spoken Canadian, who famously prefers staying out of the spotlight.
CARSON, Calif. — Christine Sinclair says she’s sorry she hasn’t gotten back to all the well-wishers who reached out after she set the international goals record.
Sinclair, 36, has 186 career goals, now an ongoing record after she passed American Abby Wambach’s previous mark among men and women last week. It was a lot of attention for the soft-spoken Sinclair, who famously prefers staying out of the spotlight. Sinclair is probably America’s best-known non-U.S. women’s soccer player. She was on the University of Portland’s two NCAA championship teams and has played since 2013 for the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League.
