Canada’s Christine Sinclair, 40, may be old as far as football is concerned, but to her, age is just a figure.

Nigerian defenders may have to take a special attention on her in the early morning of Friday (precisely 3.30am Nigerian time) when they play their opening Group B match in Melbourne.

She is a goal-scoring machine attempting to set new records. Sinclair has 190 international goals to her name.

That is astonishingly more than 21 of the 31 other 23-players squads combined!

The only squads whose players have more cumulative national-team goals than the Sinclair are Australia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Korea Republic, Netherlands, Sweden, USA and Vietnam.
