Messi has scored in 5 world cups not six (he didn't score in 2010). Mods take note of what you push to the front page.

Correct. He finished South Africa 2010 with zero goal and a single assist. His worst world cup outing ever.

Luckybelt:
Messi s playing home, others are playing away. Home advantage.

so when they won the world cup at Qatar I guess they were at home

Messi the goat ! ..🤔

internationalman:
Me thinks Portugal are better off without Ronaldo, or at the very least he should be partly involved.

Honestly he's frustrating the efforts of those world class midfielders

Good to know,but what was the Final Goal Between the the Two Countries - for this is Clearly Missing in the OP summary !
Is OP Carried Away by Mesi hat tricks ?

The GOAT, King Messi.

Emeskhalifa:
Why is he still playing World cup at his age? He should pave way for younger ones abeg

Even the younger ones want him to play

Messi is god💯❣️

n

🐐

That guy is just EXTRAORDINARY...!

Amazing and world-class goals.

I always felt Messi keeps raising the bar for younger footballers... But now, I believe that's no longer true.

Right now, there is just no more bar... Messi is officially UNTOUCHABLE!

His quality will likely never be replicated in 5 generations to come.

Just WOW!!!

Emeskhalifa:
Why is he still playing World cup at his age? He should pave way for younger ones abeg

Lol... Wrong question.

You should be asking:

How is he still playing amazing and mesmerizing football at his age?!!

Younger ones should beg him to stay longer to enable them learn from him.

internationalman:
Haaland 2 goals
Mbappe 2 goals
Messi 3 goals

Ronaldo will definitely not pass the ball tomorrow. He's going to shoot the ball from all angles tomorrow including from corner kick and his own 18 yard box.🤣🤣

Mbappe and Messi on course to break Klose 16 goals record at this world cup. Messi already ties him at 16 though.

Make Dem still dey suffree stage the thing

Lol... That pressure to meet up will make him a serious liability to his hardworkinvg team mates.

3-0

I suppose you meant the Final score.

As I said earlier and I keep saying.


Messi purposely went to the MLS to prepare for this world cup.

We will see lot of shockers from this guy in this tornament.
Messi is just having fun in his last dance with no pressure.


May God help us

Messi proved doubters wrong by scoring a hat trick on his first match at this world cup.

What a player, Even at 38!

Winterhaven:
And one mumu from portugal will be comparing himself to messi.

Are you not born by a mother? If yes, then what is your achievement just list one? I'm not a fan to both but I don't called anybody mumu or whatever cus it does not earth it, it practically showed how little your brain works.

You're so daft . Upon all Ronaldo has accomplished , the best you can call him is mumu. Do you know what it means to be adjudged as the best footballer in the world more than 3 times? Are you even in the top 20 of your own profession worldwide? You really lack common sense.

Emeskhalifa:

Go and pursue him.

Omo nothing like home advantage. Have you not seen teams with home advantage still gets trashed?.

dominique:
Hehehe Ronaldo over to you. Better not pull that stinker you pulled against Nigeria last week.

So Ivory Coast is the only African country that has won so far in this world cup

As in, dem just dey nack African countries left and right. I was even hoping on Senegal , but alas, them collect too.

Let the dead bury their dead,did He tied the younger ones leg from performing extraordinarily as he does ?

Emeskhalifa:

Only error here is that "scored in 6 world cups". That is false.

Messi did not score a goal in 2010 WC. So he has scored in 5 WCs. The record will belong to C.Ronaldo if he scores today vs DRC.

Lionel Messi has once again rewritten football history, delivering a stunning hat-trick as Argentina defeated Algeria in the FIFA World Cup.

The Argentine legend produced a vintage performance, scoring three goals and leading the reigning world champions to a commanding victory. At 39 years old, Messi became the oldest player ever to score a hat-trick in a FIFA World Cup match, surpassing previous records and adding yet another milestone to an already unparalleled career.

The hat-trick also saw Messi extend several remarkable records:

First player in football history to score in six different FIFA World Cups.

Oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick.

Argentina's all-time leading scorer, further extending his own record.

Argentina's all-time leading appearance maker, adding another World Cup match to his tally.

Most goal contributions in World Cup history (goals and assists combined).

Only player to register a goal contribution at six different World Cups.

Most appearances in FIFA World Cup history.


Fans inside the stadium erupted into chants of Messi's name after his third goal, with many recognizing they were witnessing one of the final great chapters of the most decorated international career football has ever seen.

Speaking after the match, Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni praised his captain's influence:

> "There are no words left. Every time people think he has achieved everything possible, he finds a way to make history again."



The victory puts Argentina in a strong position in Group J and sends a clear message to the rest of the tournament: despite nearing his 40th birthday, Messi remains capable of deciding the biggest matches on the biggest stage.

For a player who has already won the World Cup, multiple Copa América titles, eight Ballons d'Or, and virtually every major trophy available, this latest achievement serves as another reminder that football may never see another career quite like Lionel Messi's.

abeg, somebody should break this guys legs
