"(Though Sinc very well could start considering the news of her retirement)"
Nope. That's not a reason for Sinc to start. That's a reason to put her in as a substitute in the last 5 minutes if the Thorns have the victory locked up.
Yep, 12 minutes guaranteed for the final match. If she's playing well and the team is up, let her go until halftime at least. If there's a playoff spot on the line and we need a boost, 12 minutes it is.

I'd also be fine with stopping play at the 12 minute mark and embarrassing the hell out of her with a 12 minute standing ovation.
In the last home match.
Spaanstra is playing for her job next season. Sync should do the right thing.
