ESPNMessi rolls back the clock for Argentina to start ...
It wasn't entirely clear if Lionel Messi would make it to the 2026 tournament. But his hat trick in the first game showed how ready he is.
BBC Sport'Scared to take him off' - Ronaldo struggles after fellow superstars sparkle
Three superstars delivered for their countries at the World Cup on Tuesday. But Cristiano Ronaldo could not follow suit on Wednesday as Portugal were held to a surprise draw by DR Congo.
The Guardian FootballYoane Wissa gives DR Congo first ever World Cup point in draw with Portugal
The clock was about to hit 83 minutes when Roberto Martínez rolled the dice one last time. His team certainly needed extra movement up front so it hardly confounded logic that Gonçalo Ramos was stripped and ready. What made less sense was that Vitinha departed while Cristiano Ronaldo, peripheral save for two earlier half-chances, remained on and slogged his way towards the end of a draw that could check Portugal’s summer ambitions. Ronaldo’s baying followers, swathes of them with local accents and wearing his No 7 shirt, had done their best to cajole a meaningful contribution from their idol but ultimately they had to settle for being under the same roof. Perhaps they expected a repeat of Lionel Messi’s staggering performance the previous night but Ronaldo did little to assuage concerns that his presence, once glorious, is nowadays a dead weight. The watching Gianni Infantino could have been forgiven for wondering whether Fifa’s contortions in freeing him from suspension for this game had been worthwhile. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballFootbll Daily | Football’s greatest showman shows Mbappé and Haaland who’s boss
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! The GWC has barely had time to unpack its suitcase and already the goals are flying in like overenthusiastic airline baggage. Stadiums are full, scoreboards are busy and, most importantly, football’s three marquee attractions decided that now would be a good time to remind everyone why they dominate highlight reels, sponsorship campaigns and social media algorithms. First we have Football Daily on the weekend, and now we have Tuuka Tomperi stating in yesterday’s letters : ‘Football Daily is the best newsletter in the world, by far!’ The first I can pass off as GWC Fever, but the second is inexplicable and means I will be visiting my general practitioner as soon as the group stage is over” – Alex Bull. Before kick-off on Sunday I was pessimistic about having to slog through three Curaçao matches in the GWC. But, after seeing them torn apart by Germany, 7-1, I can safely say that it’s just like watching Brazil. 2014-era Brazil , but still” – R Reisman. You could argue that Vozinha is actually better than Pat Jennings ( yesterday’s Football Daily ). Vozinha’s given first name is Josimar, after the Brazilian defender who was a star of Mexico ‘86. That Josimar not only played in the game against Northern Ireland (and Jennings) that you referenced, he scored the second Brazilian goal, with a shot from way out on the right touchline if I remember correctly. Surely that’s conclusive proof that a Josimar is better than a Jennings?” – Richard O’Hagan. The late music legend Cesaria Évora had a voice that reached the ends of the earth. She was from the same town in Cape Verde as the goalkeeper Vozinha, whose nickname is Portuguese for ‘little voice’. That little voice produced a massive roar heard around the world” – Peter Oh. I wanted to add my Roy Hattersley recollection ( yesterday’s Football Daily letters ). His column was my favourite part of the Guardian, bar none. The man wrote exquisitely, so I was delighted to bump into him at Priestfield before a Gillingham v Sheffield Wednesday game about 25 years ago. He was polite and charming for our brief chat and responded with ‘I hope not’ when I bid him adieu, having said ‘may the better team win’. Wednesday duly lost to my beloved Gills. RIP Roy” – Martin Griffiths. This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily. To get the full version, just visit this page and follow the instructions . Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballWhat happened on a historic night for Argentina? ‘Messi things’ | Pablo Iglesias Maurer
A hat-trick against Algeria equalled Miroslav Klose’s World Cup scoring record, but Messi and his teammates insist the mark doesn’t matter to him World Cup newsletter | Daily podcast | Download the app Long after the dust had settled on Argentina’s 3-0 group-stage victory over Algeria on Tuesday night, Algeria and Bayern Leverkusen midfielder Ibrahim Maza wearily emerged from behind a curtain and stepped up to the microphone. Maza had played well, even assisting on Algeria’s disallowed first goal. He’d also had a front row seat to a Lionel Messi masterclass, just a few yards away from Argentina’s captain when he scored his third goal of the evening and tied Miroslav Klose as the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer. In short order, he was asked to expand on what made Messi unplayable on Tuesday evening. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballMessi dazzles to equal World Cup scoring record as Argentina breeze past Algeria
Those in attendance at Argentina’s opening match against Algeria could be forgiven, for a moment, for thinking they were at one of the great Argentinian cathedrals of football – La Bombonera , or maybe the national stadium, El Monumental . Kansas City Stadium, awash in the colors of the Albiceleste, roared with the sound of nearly 70,000 supporters serenading their team, and their hero, in rapturous song. They had plenty to sing about. Argentina rose to the occasion, and so did Lionel Messi, who on his 200th cap took another step towards solidifying his place as the greatest footballer in history, scoring three splendid goals to draw level with Germany’s Miroslav Klose for the World Cup’s all-time mark on 16 goals. The performance came just hours after France’s Kylian Mbappé had briefly leapfrogged Messi, with 14. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballArgentina v Algeria: World Cup 2026 – live
⚽️ Kick-off time: 8pm local/11am AEST/2am BST/9pm EDT ⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail Jonathan What about Algeria? Even Maher Mezahi isn’t sure what to expect. Algeria are one of this World Cup’s great unknowns. On paper, this team has an impressive recent record: a friendly victory over the Netherlands made it 21 wins, four draws and three defeats from 28 matches under Vladimir Petkovic, with 67 goals scored. The problem is that it has been achieved against generally poor-quality opposition. Algeria’s qualifying campaign was a breeze, with Guinea and Mozambique – both considered Pot C sides on the continent – being their sternest tests. We can be pretty sure Petkovic will lean on his players’ technical quality, play attractive football, but leave gaps in behind the defence. What we don’t know is which players will be called upon for half the starting positions. The holders arrive at the World Cup with a squad that knows each other almost by heart but perhaps not with its players in peak physical condition – several had injury set-backs at the end of a very demanding season with their clubs. If everyone is fit, the coach will field many of the same players who were crowned champions in Qatar, with the exception of Ángel Di María, who no longer plays for the national team. Lionel Scaloni’s plan is to keep the 4-3-3 formation, with a solid defence featuring two centre-backs and two attacking full-backs, plus dynamic midfielders with excellent passing. Lionel Messi leads the charge once more, supported by the formidable Julián Alvarez and Thiago Almada, who could be the breakout star. Almost two thirds of the 2022 squad remains, but it now also includes some promising young players such as Nico Paz, who has been in excellent form at Como. They will also have established stars like Lautaro Martínez, who aims to be in top condition for this World Cup: something he couldn’t achieve in Qatar. Continue reading...
