Christine Sinclair's historic run with the Canadian women's national team has come to an end.

Sinclair announced her retirement from international competition on Friday: "Honestly, you can't play forever. And this seems like a good time to be done."

She originally joined Canada's senior team in 2000 at the age of 16. Her 190 career goals in international matches are the most in history by any player. She surpassed the previous record of 184 set by United States legend Abby Wambach.
