I think she's already shown that she makes this decision without ego. I remember her handing the ball to Horan (who missed), Smith (who converted), Hina (who converted), and Beckie (for Canada, who missed). I've also seen her step up and take it against Sheridan and Naeher, two of the best national team keepers in the world -- and beat them consistently. And, when Nadim was here, Nadim took the PKs, despite the fact that Sinc was captain then too and had only ever missed once in NWSL.
Let's talk evidence, not bias. There are many good evidence-based critiques of Sinc's effectiveness these days. Let's not attribute stuff to her that is not supported by evidence, though, ok?
It's still the Captain's call to make.
What should be telling to everybody, though, is that Sinc doesn't do this or make these decisions on ego. When Nadim was here, Nadim took the PKs.
and Sinc should step down from captains role if cant make good decisions for team

Is Smith being 4 for 4 on PKs enough evidence?
And Sinc has chosen other players for PKs many, many times, for both Canada and Thorns.
