Canada are facing Costa Rica in the semifinals of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2016 Olympics, which could be one of the last major tournaments that longtime women's soccer star Christine Sinclair plays. She's 32 and has played over 230 times for Canada, becoming one of the all-time greatest goalscorers in the women's game. And against Costa Rica, Sinclair proved that she's still got game.

Costa Rica have some fine players on their team, but no one could possibly have stopped that strike.
