Fellow former Cardinal Naomi Girma has led on mental health in her off-the-field endeavors, including a retreat last offseason for players from all NWSL clubs called Create the Space, which she said was “born out of the extraordinary love and extraordinary grief for my best friend and teammate, Katie Meyer.”

Christine Sinclair will retire as the greatest player in Canadian soccer history. See what she said in her announcement Friday.

Sinclair retires from the Thorns after 12 seasons, 195 (and counting) appearances, 79 goals and three NWSL championships. She’s the NWSL’s third all-time leading scorer (64) in regular season play and will finish her career as one of three players in league history to play all 12 seasons with the same club.
