Just the undisputed GOAT doing GOAT things. I know he spends most of the games walking or standing and the whole team works their ass off to let him conserve energy, but man. Watching his second goal you just have to be amazed at the way he still is able to move at 39. One thing is scoring and passing and using technique and vision, we've seen that before with some aging legends like Totti and Zlatan. But Messi is different, has no right to be as explosive and agile as he still is at his age.

Anakin would be proud: not just the men, but the women and the children too — Marta is one behind for the women, and the u20 World Cup records are Javier Seviola and Christine Sinclair, both with 11.

What's extra fun is that Mbappe is only 2 behind, so conceivably we could see the record switch back and forth between them all through the tournament. Amazing stuff.

Relax, Haaland has only had one match so far.

Fun fact: with yesterday's match, Messi has also become the player with the most mistaken penalty kicks (3) in the history of the World Cup.

He even missed a penalty at the start of this game, just to make it harder for himself. All of this is made even more entertaining by the fact that Ronaldo did absolutely nothing against DR Congo. Finally, the stupidest debate in football history feels like it is being settled beyond all doubt.
