Amazing photo of Christine Sinclair consoling U.S. midfielder and Portland Thorns teammate Lindsay Horan. In one of the most joyous moments of her career, Sinclair takes the time to show compassion. This is what grace, class &amp; dignity looks like. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/canWNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#canWNT</a> <a href=”https://t.co/uHCADknhlK”>https://t.co/uHCADknhlK</a>

Forgive the lack of impartiality, but watching Christine Sinclair in particular play for gold has the chance to be one of the most important events in Canadian sports history. Can’t wait. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/CanWNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#CanWNT</a>

Christine Sinclair will play for an Olympic Gold Medal. If that doesn’t make you tear up, you have no soul
