Canada’s Christine Sinclair becomes international soccer’s all-time leading scorer

More than Lionel Messi. More than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Canadian soccer icon Christine Sinclair has cemented her legacy globally (if she hasn’t already), setting the record for the most international goals ever scored by a male or female.

Sitting one goal back of retired United States international Abby Wambach’s 184 entering Wednesday afternoon’s 2020 Concacaf Olympic Qualfying tournament match against St. Kitts & Nevis, the 36-year-old Canadian striker found the back of the net for the 184th time in her illustrious career after she was taken down in the box in the 7’.

Scoring early, accomplishing the feat, was something that Sinclair had her eyes on heading into the competition.
