185th

[CanineCowboy]

Christine Sinclair with her 185th international goal becomes the all time leading scorer in international football. Amazing to have a Canadian, and a local at that, lead the world in the beautiful game. She has been a pleasure to watch for twenty years and her performance against the US at the London Olympics must be one of the all time greatest performances in sport.

Canada has plenty of female athletes to be proud of. Vancouver has Meghan Agosta, 3 time Olympic gold medal winner:

Also, Tessa Virtue:

Yeah! Just saw this.

One of Canada's iconic she-wolves. (Her in soccer, and Hayley Wickenheiser in hockey.) It's really great to see her get the record-setting mark that she deserves. Best female soccer player of all time.



:whoo: :clap2: :rockon: :first: :hail:


Here's hoping she bursts through to 200 before she calls it a career, although that would some very long odds.


(Also, I ain't gonna lie: feeling some schadenfreude that it pushes aside Abby Wambach, who I disliked.)

Phew! For a moment there I was concerned this 185 thread might mean Trump would still in power for another 140 years after remarkable gene therapy treatments.

Yay Christine. She is our iconic Canadian hero if if the foreign football fuktards don’t realize how much she has accomplished.

Great accomplishment!
