WINNIPEG - Its one thing when your teammates think youre the glue that binds Canadas womens soccer team, but its something else entirely when one of your rivals thinks youre literally the best in the world.Ive said for a long time that I believe, in my humble opinion, that Christine Sinclair is the best player in the world, said Hope Solo, the goalkeeper for the U.S. team Canada will play Thursday in a friendly.You dont always get to see how brilliant she is because she doesnt always have the support players but I think now shes starting to get the support players she needs to really highlight her own play.That means Solo ranks Sinclair above Brazils Marta — a five-time FIFA World Player of the Year — and even her own teammate Abby Wambach, who has scored more goals than Sinclair or anyone else in womens soccer.She plays both sides of the ball, Solo said. Marta, she gets the ball with her feet, she can score goals. But Christine Sinclair, she reads the game, she passes, she gets assists and shes dangerous every time she gets the ball. . . Ive looked up to her and Ive admired her as a player for a really long time.Sinclairs teammates are still in awe of her talent.Shes sort of that pivotal girl for us, said midfielder Desiree Scott, the Winnipeg native playing for the first time live in front of her parents this week.She makes everything tick and shes the one we rely on.Sinclair and Canada will need every bit of talent and skill they can muster to beat the No. 1-ranked Americans. Theyve already lost their first meeting this year and Canada, ranked seventh in the world, hasnt beat the U.S. since 2001.The rivalry between the teams has taken on more of an edge since the U.S. beat Canada in the semifinals at the 2012 Olympics, but Sinclair says the real goal remains peaking when the World Cup is held here in 2015.As for stepping to the spotlight Solo and others would like to shine on her, Sinclair remains reticent as ever.Its not always something Ive embraced because its a team sport and Ive always said that, you know, you cant be the best if you havent won anything, she said after practice Tuesday.I think finally at the Olympics, as a team we were able to show and as a team I think weve started to get the respect we deserve around the world.She is an 11-time winner of the Canada Soccer Player of the Year Award and has been on the national team for 14 years. Despite all that experience, at 30, Sinclair also says her game has improved, and like her team she feels that peak is coming at just the right time for a World Cup in Canada.But defeating the Americans, who have perfected so many aspects of their game, means finding new ways to break free from a defence that did a good job of shutting her down the last time they met.It seemed that every time I got the ball I had two people on me. It was a little frustrating. As a player, in terms of developing . . . I need to learn how to cope with that, she said.Meanwhile, U.S. forward Wambach wasnt too thrilled at the idea of playing on artificial turf like the surface in Winnipeg come 2015, when Canada hosts the World Cup.It will run from June 6 to July 5 and games will be played in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton. Of those, only Monctons tiny 10,000-seat stadium has real grass.The reality is the World Cup would never be played on turf if it were the men, Wambach said after practising on Investors Group Field Tuesday and noting that there were pebbles and even nails as workers renovate parts of the press box and other areas in the stadium that only opened last year.She said she assumes that will be cleaned up, but it isnt her point.Im going to stand by what Ive been saying. We deserve to be treated just like the men do. Custom Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys . LOUIS -- The Atlanta Braves used a two-run rally in the ninth to end their road trip with a win. Curt Schilling Jersey . Thaddeus Young scored seven of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Evan Turner added 22 points, and the 76ers hung on for their first road win since Nov. 1, beating the depleted Los Angeles Lakers 111-104 on Sunday night. http://www.diamondbacksapparelsshop.com/ . He will just have to wait a little longer. Bester grabbed an early lead before Scotlands Darren Burnett took over and ran away with the mens singles lawn bowling final 21-9 on Friday. Randy Johnson Jersey .Y. -- Kristen Gillman rallied to win the U. Luis Gonzalez Jersey . Scotlands Greg Laidlaw made one of two penalty kicks and all three conversions, and Stuart Hogg added a try in the second half. "The most important thing to come out of the game is that we did not get scored against," Laidlaw said.Like a well-oiled machine that couldnt be stopped, Team Canada continued its dominance over Team Europe Sunday morning, sweeping the three skins matches to clinch victory in the 2015 World Financial Group Continental Cup. Canada then won two of the three evening matches for good measure. In a race to 30.5 points, Canada entered Sundays draws with a 22-8 lead, needing just 8.5 points to win the event — which it did in Draw 10 by claiming 10.5 points. Canada then added another 9.5 points in Draw 11 to finish the four-day competition with a 42-18 advantage. When Niklas Edins long runback try came up wide, giving Mike McEwen the full point that guaranteed Canadas victory, non-playing members cheering on the bench swarmed over the boards to ignite an on-ice victory celebration that temporarily halted the two other games still in process. We could kind of see the other matches going well and the timing just worked out for that to happen, McEwen said of posting the clinching point. It was kind of cool to put that final blow on the board. And he, like the fans in the stands, was surprised to see his teammates storm onto the ice. Yeah because theres those huge LED signs and theyve been ragging on us, Do Not Jump Over These, he said with a smile. So it was kind of cool that nobody listened. In the end McEwen beat Edin 3.5 to 1.5, the identical scores to Rachel Homans win over Margaretha Sigfridsson and the Pat Simmons-skipped mixed team victory over the European foursome skipped by Torger Nerg?rd of Norway. Teams play eight-end games in the skins competition, scoring points by counting two or more with last rock, or one point or more without. The ffirst six ends are each worth half a point with the final two ends worth one point each.dddddddddddd While McEwen, third B.J. Neufeld, second Matt Wozniak and lead Ben Hebert posted the clinching point, it was the Simmons-led team of Lori Olson-Johns, Carter Rycroft and Rachelle Brown who got the team fired up early. Normally the third on the John Morris-skipped Team Canada, Simmons was handed the skip spot for the mixed skins game and he made two McEwen-like shots in the second and fourth ends to win full-point carryover skins to put Canada in position to clinch the cup before this afternoons final round of skins. Crazy, wasnt it? replied Team Canada coach Rick Lang when asked about the Simmons performance. Pat came through in spades and kind of got the spirit going today. Put us on the board early and everyone followed. But, added Lang, it was a solid team performance from Thursdays opening draw that ultimately led to victory. We had six teams right at the top of their games; extremely well prepared, excited to be here and committed to the effort, he said. We had no weak links in our chain, whatsoever. In the evening draws, Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. beat Great Britains Dave Murdoch 4-1 in a rematch of the gold-medal matchup from the Sochi Olympics while Winnipegs Jennifer Jones played Scotlands Eve Muirhead to a 2.5 tie. You could tell we were sharp from the get-go, said Jones. And we never let up. It was coming together as a team, getting that camaraderie and great energy. And we had that from day one. We got on a roll and never looked back. Canada also edged Europe 3-2 in the evenings mixed team competition.
