DALLAS, June 27 (Reuters) - Lionel Messi became the first player to score in seven consecutive World Cup matches when he ‌netted for Argentina against Jordan in Dallas on Saturday, moving past Just Fontaine and Jairzinho.

Substitute Messi curled in a free kick from 25 metres in the 80th ⁠minute to make the score 3-1.

Messi’s hot streak started in Argentina’s 2-1 victory over Australia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He also netted against the Netherlands and Croatia, before scoring twice in an epic final with France ‌that ⁠ended with him lifting the trophy.

He continued that scoring run at the 2026 finals having netted a hat-trick against Algeria and another ⁠two versus Austria in Argentina's second game, with his strike against Jordan taking his tally of ⁠World Cup goals to a record-extending 19.
Fontaine scored in six consecutive matches for ⁠France in 1958, and Jairzinho did likewise for Brazil in 1970.

Messi didn't even score in 7 consecutive MLS matches, the so-called burger league. He's 39, and he's still competing with the hottest young footballers in the world, the likes of Haaland, Mbappé, Kane, and Dembélé. Messi is currently the highest goalscorer in the tournament and might actually win the Golden Ball because he's definitely going to outscore all of them.

When we celebrate his MLS goals, haters will say he's playing with part-time DoorDash delivery guys. 🤣 Now he has turned the World Cup into the MLS.

In other news, that Saudi fraud scored two goals against mountain herders from Uzbekistan. He was screaming "he's back," but when he played against a proper team yesterday, he was gone. He disappeared as quickly as he came back. What a deIusional cI0wn. 🤣

Oya, Let's settle this GOAT🐐 matter once and for all.

LIKE for Messi, SHARE for Ronaldo

Messi The GOAT OF FOOTBALL

Nobody compares Messi to Ronaldo anymore. They compare him to Pele and Madonna and almost everyone now agrees he's greater than both.
Ronaldo is in the league of Zidane, Ronaldinho etc not Messi.

I’ll rate Ronaldinho higher than him. If not for his stupid lifestyle that cut his career short,
who’s Ronaldo to be compared with Ronaldinho
