The 2026 World Cup Thread

Algeria is one of the crappier teams of Africa. Even if you limit your comparison to only the Muslim ones from northern Africa.

I think Messi will break Klose's World Cup goal record.

And a good candidate if you want to bet on the top scorer of this World Cup.

NB, I quickly go and check the top scorer in SGpools, not available.
They should have updated it to $3.
Opening odds was $15.

Top scorers all score goals
out right top scorer with 3 goals
L. MESSI.
Over to H. Kane and CR7.

KANSAS CITY, Kansas -- Lionel Messi made history Tuesday night by tying the record for most World Cup goals at 16 with Miroslav Kolse after scoring a hat trick and staking Argentina to a 3-0 lead over Algeria before coming off late in the second half.

The hat trick was Messi's 11th of his international career, but first at the World Cup, and he is now the oldest player to score three goals in a game at the tournament.

  Argentina at the men's World Cup: All-time results and stats​

When Messi took the field, he also became the first-ever player to feature in six World Cups during Argentina's match -- his 200th with the national team.

By playing in his sixth World Cup, Messi broke the record of five held by Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Antonio Carbajal, Andrés Guardado and Rafael Márquez (all Mexico) and Lothar Matthäus (Germany).

Ronaldo should equal the mark of six World Cups in Portugal's opener against Congo on Wednesday, with Messi beating him to it by a day.

Argentina earned the early lead in the first half, with a left-footed strike from just outside the area by Messi. He then scored twice in the second half to complete the hat trick and equal Klose's record of 16 goals for Germany.

Argentina's triumph also meant that Messi is tied for most World Cup victories with Klose at 17.

Argentina play Austria next in Dallas on June 22

L. MESSI also hold the most WC games play with 27 games.
Most game captain for 19 matches.
Most games play record is so difficult to break
1st, must qualify
2nd, don't get injured
3rd, not to KO early
4th, play in every game
Lothar Matthaus last held the record with 25 games.
CR7 played 22 matches over
5 WC final.
By the time WC is done Messi would have played well over 30 games(provided don't get injured)
This record will hold for a long long long time.

The winner of the WC may be the one who starts slowest. It's a month-long competition. You would want to pace yourself especially after a long and energy sapping domestic campaign. Put your money on the teams that check in early- 2 weeks b4 the tournament started. Good luck.

That's why men of culture support Argentina. No niggers.

 

[True Believer]

The Algeria goalkeeper in 2014 helped the team to the Last 16.

Messi also can play another next wc to break record at age 42 like Ronaldo now playing at age 41.

 

[syed putra]

almost every western european team has at least 6.9 nigger players - 5 starters and 1.9 reserves. may be sg can start importing 6.9 nigger players for her national team, in order to qualify for world cup?

Jiu hu tried that and was nearly thrown out by FIFA.

Very few countries do not have black players:
Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Croatia, Korea, Japan (until this year), Argentina, Ukraine

Ronaldo said this is his last WC ?

 

[True Believer]

Alexis MacAllister is of Irish descent with his ancestry traced back to Dublin. He also has Italian ancestry through his maternal grandmother.

 

[Si1verwolf]

Totti and Piero will be joint top scorers for Italia!!

 

[Sinkiesuk]

Ronaldo said this is his last WC ?

Most probably. I think he will give chance for younger players liao.

How good a country is at Football has nothing to do with skin color

That's why men of culture support Argentina. No niggers.

Yeah and Brazil have won five times.

Remind me again what skin color did Pelé have?
