World Cup 2026: Canada has caught football fever - Christine Sinclair

More than the Score

Available for over a year

Canada鈥檚 Christine Sinclair is the all-time record goal scorer in international football, with 190 goals. She played in a Women鈥檚 World Cup on home soil in 2015 and was part of the team, which won Olympic gold in 2021. Sinclair joins the 麻豆社鈥檚 Lee James to discuss the impact co-hosting the men鈥檚 World Cup is having on the sport in Canada. She believes the nation has caught football fever and the long-term benefits will be felt 15 years from now as more children grow into playing the sport. Sinclair also gives us an insight into what it is like playing in a home World Cup, reflects on her storied career and chats about the new animated film about her life, which is narrated by Ryan Reynolds. All this summer, More than the Score brings you more than the men鈥檚 football World Cup - the new teams, standout stars and fandoms shaping the tournament in ways the stats don鈥檛 show.
