🥅 ICYMI-

Last night, the superstars kept at it. Lionel Messi scored his 17th and 18th career World Cup goals in Argentina’s 2-0 headliner over Austria, breaking Miroslav Klose’s all-time record and standing alone at the top of the tournament’s scoring charts after previously tying with Klose.

AND- France beat Iraq 3-0 in Philly — with Mbappé and Dembélé leading the pack — though the match included a two-hour halftime stoppage as a thunderstorm swept through the city, making it the first World Cup feature delayed by weather. Norway edged Senegal 3-2 in a tight Group I finish, with Haaland putting two in the net. Algeria narrowly took over Jordan 2-1 — their first World Cup victory since 2014 — as hopes of reaching the knockouts grew. France, Norway, and Argentina have all now booked their places in the Round of 32.
