‘This team is full of rock stars’: Sinclair


Veteran Canada skipper Christine Sinclair stressed on Thursday that The Maple Leafs can beat anyone at the Women’s World Cup, saying: “This team is full of rock stars.”

Sinclair, who will be participating in her sixth World Cup, warned against underestimating her side.

“We were overlooked heading into the Tokyo Olympics and showed what we can do,” said the 40-year-old forward, whose incredible 190 goals in 323 appearances for her country has made her the all-time leading scorer in international football.

“We can beat any team in the world,” she said. “It’s contagious (winning), you want to do it again and it’s just motivated us to prove to the world what we can do again.”

Women footballer world cup Spain vs England highlights.

  The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup came to a close Sunday (on FOX and the FOX Sports app) with a thrilling matchup at Sydney's Stadium Australia, where Spain defeated England 1-0 to win its first ever Women's World Cup title. Still a long way to go, but a good bit of stoppage time can be expected once this game reaches 90 minutes due to the lengthy VAR review, the multiple substitutions by Spain and a player down injured.   A lengthy VAR check sent the referee to the monitor to review a potential handball in the box against England's Keira Walsh. The ball struck Walsh's right hand as she lunged toward her right to impede Mariona Caldentey. The review took several minutes, and the end result was a penalty kick awarded to Spain — a massive, massive decision. Spain manager Vilda made his first change of the second half by replacing right-winger Alba Redondo with Oihane Hernandez, which was an interesting move considering Hernandez primarily plays as a defender. She was ...

Steelers agree to a deal with former Jets Pro Bowl LB Kwon Alexander, per report.

The Steelers are adding a former Pro Bowl player to their roster. Pittsburgh has agreed to a one-year deal with veteran linebacker Kwon Alexander. Alexander had met with the Steelers back in May. Alexander, 28, was a fourth-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent his first four seasons in Tampa Bay and was a Pro Bowler in 2017 after recording a league-high 108 solo tackles. In 2019, Alexander helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl during his only full season in San Francisco.  He was traded to the Saints midway through the 2021 season before spending the entire 2022 season with the Jets. In New York, Alexander registered 69 tackles in 12 starts while playing in each of New York's 17 games. While he's proven to be a solid player, injuries have prevented Alexander from further success. He played in just 14 total games during the 2018-19 season while dealing with knee and chest injuries. A torn Achilles prematurely ended his 2021 season after 12 games.  The Steelers...
