Messi completed nine dribbles vs. England, the most any player has completed in a single match this World Cup.
It's also tied for the most he's EVER completed in a World Cup match.

@iam_JC1 These tickets are allocated to federations for traveling fans. Since Haiti have a travel ban, it would be interesting to know if the @fhfhaiti have them available.
We just watched a European team like Scotland park the bus against Haiti at the World Cup.
The CONCACAF nation may have lost amid controversial refereeing decisions, but they earned the respect of the entire football world. ❤️🇭🇹🏆
🤔 How do we ever get the Strait of Hormuz open again?
"Listen, we degraded and we destroyed. That's what we came here to do. We did not come here for some experiment in democracy. We wish the best to the Iranian people to do the things they need to do.
And if Iran does not back down, if after that declaration, Iran continues to destroy cargo containers moving through the narrow straits, I think you're going to see Iran's neighbors, and Israel, and others get very involved as it pertains to Iran because it's in their interest.
The United States produces 20 million barrels of oil a day and we consume 20 million barrels a day. This is a modest problem for the United States. This is a massive problem for China. This is a massive problem for Asia. This is a massive problem for all of our friends in the Gulf who are trying to dodge Iranian missiles right now. So there are a lot of people in the world who will take up arms to deal with the Iranians if the United States isn't there, because we can take care of ourselves...
This is not a risk-free initiative by the United States, nor was Venezuela. But let me steel man the alternative. Doing nothing and allowing Iran to procure the ingredients for a nuclear missile when they are set on the destruction of the United States and U.S. interests, doing nothing in Venezuela while the Monroe Doctrine is totally wrecked and we let our adversaries take up positions in South America, those also have risks, right? Those carry a lot of risks. And so we're weighing these two risks.
Again, for me, I don't like the fact that we're engaged in military activities here, but I will tell you, I am very much on the side that if we're going to go protect American national security interests, you go in, you do the degrading of their capability and you get out. And I think that's what I hear out of the president."
