It was two in the morning. Any hope of a solid night's sleep was over. I fumbled for my dressing gown in the darkness and gingerly made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I filled the kettle and reached for the remote. Half an hour's channel surfing would surely dull my senses enough to allow a return to the bedroom.

Canadian women’s national team star Christine Sinclair set not one, but two remarkable milestones this week. She is now the most capped player in Canadian soccer, with 133 games to her credit, and she also reached the 100-goal mark for the national team.

In true Canadian fashion, Sinclair deflected the praise for her remarkable achievements:

Here's how it works. You submit a question and Guy will provide the answer to five of them every week. It's that simple. That means your question may not make the final list, but there is nothing stopping you from submitting more than one!

Here are today's questions:

I am certain I am not the only one who remembers Mo Johnston’s first year pledge to the Toronto media. He promised not to sign aging vets in their mid-30’s for this franchise. I am assuming the goal-posts have not shifted even though 37 year old Paul Dickov is on trial for a second time.

Dickov, currently in Florida with the rest of Preki’s playing staff, almost signed in 2008 but ultimately chose to return to the UK and rejoin Leicester City on a two year contract. That contract was recently cancelled after he returned from a loan spell at Championship rivals Derby County, allowing the Scotsman freedom of movement.

It was the night before the 2009 All-Star skills competition, at a Montreal restaurant. Ilya Kovalchuk convened a summit, bringing together two feuding superstars.

It was time, Kovalchuk said later, for Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin to end their feud.
“I told them (the Russian team) could accomplish great things in the next few years,” Kovalchuk said the next day. “I didn’t want their problems to interfere with that.”

“The only way to make a small fortune owning a football club is to start with a large fortune,” or so the saying goes.

Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber will be very familiar with that expression, and it is one he will be reinforcing over and over again as MLS negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement with its players’ union.
