While no fan of being in the spotlight, captain Christine Sinclair knows she will be centre stage in her final four games for Canada.
Sinclair seemed dead serious. But the chances of a surprise-free exit from the international stage seem slim. Her 190 international goals lead both the men's and women's ranks. But with her role changing to a more withdrawn position in some outings, she has not scored in 16 matches. The 10th-ranked Canadian women take on No. 9 Brazil on Saturday at Montreal' Saputo Stadium and Tuesday at Halifax's Wanderers Ground. Sinclair will then call time on her Canada career with a pair of games against No 11 Australia on home turf — Dec. 1 at Langford's Starlight Stadium and Dec. 5 at Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium.
The Olympic champion Canadians are coming off a 4-1 aggregate victory over Jamaica in a September Olympic qualifying playoff series. "I thought that was going to be it and I was going to walk off and not say a word and just be done," she said."But then there were rumours of four games being played in Canada. My friends and family convinced me, 'You can't just leave. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to Canada to come out and play these games.'"
