When Abby Wambach netted her 184th and final international goal in 2015 it was thought to be a record that could stand the test of time; the only person remotely close to her was Christine Sinclair, and even that was a stretch. Now, five years later, the Canadian international shattered the very record that once appeared to be untouchable.
Sinclair, who scored her first senior goal against Norway in 2000, finally passed Wambach’s record for most international goals regardless of gender in a CONCACAF Olympic-qualifying match in Edinburgh, Texas. The closest active players behind Sinclair are Carli Lloyd at 121, Alex Morgan and Marta at 107, and Cristiano Ronaldo at 99.
