@RIPTIDERHEAS I see your chats, and I raise you...

[Gabriel @gabbs140]

@jason_marais93 Bro. These guys are speaking as if the goals were scored by the referees and there is this secret organisation that wants Argentina to win everything all the time.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

The man, the myth, THE Messi 🐐

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

GOAT 🐐

THE ONE AND ONLY, LIONEL MESSI!

[WhoScored @WhoScored]

Lionel Messi has missed 24 penalties since we started collecting data in 2009/10.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo (25) has missed more. ✖️

[Statman Dave @StatmanDave]

Lionel Messi has scored more World Cup goals than any other player in history (21).

Lionel Messi has assisted more World Cup goals than any other player in history (9).

The best there was. The best there is. The best there ever will be. 🐐

[Kylian Mbappé @KMbappe]

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Neymar 🥲

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Lionel Messi has broken Diego Maradona's record and is now the World Cup's all-time assist leader with 9 assists! 🇦🇷💫

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

The only player in @FIFAWorldCup history to score in eight successive games... Lionel Messi 👏

[Gabriel @gabbs140]

Bring on Neymar!

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

91 year old legendary Argentinian journalist Macaya Márquez was in press conference, covering his 18th (!) World Cup 🐐

“Let me ask you… will Messi play against Jordan or not?” 😬

“I’d never reply to any journalist on this topic now… but it is coming from you, and so I tell you: Messi will not start” 👏🏼

“I respect you too much, I’m proud to see you here”, added.

Scaloni then went to hug Márquez and took a picture 🫂🥹

Two absolute legends. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐲. 👏🏼

Lionel Messi turns 39 years old today, these are his official career stats! 🎂🇦🇷

[Gabriel @gabbs140]

Underestimate Messi at your own peril.

[Gabriel @gabbs140]

Just like asking the PSG players if they can three-peat an hour after winning the UCL. They just won the trophy, can they not enjoy it before being asked about the next season?

It's really bizarre.

[Gabriel @gabbs140]

I really don't understand this obsession some journalists (I'm not talking about Fabrizio) have with the future. He's playing in a World Cup RIGHT NOW in 2026, why would he be thinking about the next one, 4 years fom now? 🤦‍♂️

Make it make sense.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

😁🏆 Leo Messi when asked about playing at the 2030 World Cup: “I don't know. The truth is, I'm not thinking about that right now. It seems a bit far off... but, as I said, I'm living one day at a time and focused on the present”.

@FPL_TomHadley Good man.

[Tom Hadley FPL @FPL_TomHadley]

Here’s a summary of what each team now need in order to qualify at the World Cup:

Group A:

• Mexico top the group regardless of MD3 results

• South Korea need only a draw to finish in the top 2.

• Czech Republic and South Africa both need to win to realistically have any chance of qualification

Group B:

• Canada are essentially guaranteed qualification and simply need to draw their game with Switzerland to finish top

• Switzerland are also effectively through but need to beat Canada to finish first

• Both Bosnia and Qatar will be fighting for the win in their game. A draw is no good to either team

Group C:

• There’s a great chance that Brazil, Morocco and Scotland have all qualified for the knockouts already

• Brazil and Morocco will be looking to win their games by the most goals in an attempt to win the group

• Scotland are likely fine already but a draw would secure qualification

• Haiti are already knocked out

Group D:

• USA are already the confirmed winners of Group D, regardless of their result in MD3 (they have the H2H on both Australia and Paraguay)

• Australia simply need to not lose to guarantee second place

• Paraguay are likely fine regardless of the result but a positive result against Australia is the aim

• Turkey are knocked out already after losing to both teams above them

Group E:

• Germany will be group winners regardless of the result in MD3

• Ivory Coast simply need a draw to secure 2nd spot in the group

• Ecuador need to beat Germany as 2 points doesn’t look like being enough to be a top 3rd place side

• Curacao also need to win their last game to have a chance at qualification

Group F:

• Much like Group C, the top 3 of Netherlands, Japan and Sweden are all likely through regardless

• Netherlands and Japan will both want to win to try and hit top spot

• Sweden will finish top 2 with a win but a draw will also be fine

• Tunisia are knocked out

Group G:

• A point for Egypt will see them win the group unless Belgium win by 3 or more goals

• Both Belgium and Iran will likely be fine with a draw but they’ll be looking to win to make sure

• New Zealand realistically need to beat Belgium to stand a chance

Group H:

• A draw for Spain will basically see them through as group winners

• A draw for both Uruguay and Cape Verde will likely see both go through, with Uruguay finishing 2nd

• A Uruguay win will see them likely win the group unless Cape Verde wins by a greater margin

• Saudi Arabia need to beat Cape Verde to stand a chance of qualifying

Group I:

• Both France and Norway are through regardless

• France only need a draw to win the group, Norway need a win

• Senegal and Iraq will both need to win to stand a chance of qualifying. A draw is no good for either team

Group J:

• Argentina have won the group regardless

• Austria simply need to avoid defeat to finish 2nd

• Algeria likely are through but a positive result is ideal. A win is even better, as it would confirm 2nd place

• Jordan are already knocked out

Group K:

• Colombia are already through but need to avoid defeat to win the group

• Portugal are also effectively through but will be looking for a positive result

• Both DR Congo and Uzbekistan need to win.

• A win for DR Congo will basically guarantee qualification but it may still not be enough for Uzbekistan due to their poor goal difference

Group L:

• England, Ghana and Croatia are all effectively through

• England will look to beat Panama to secure the top spot.

• Ghana need to better England’s result or win by 2 more goals than England

• A draw is fine for Croatia but they’ll be looking to win to finish in the top 2

• Panama are knocked out already

That’s just about everything! If you have read the whole way then I salute you but hopefully this helps!

Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini

Jude Bellingham is phenomenal.
