Messi Scores in Seven Straight World Cups to Sink Jordan

Lionel Messi has become the first player in history to score in seven consecutive World Cup tournaments, according to Reuters, after finding the net with a free kick as Argentina defeated Jordan in their final group game in Arlington, Texas.

Argentina made nine changes to their lineup for the match, with Messi starting on the bench before making his mark on the game. Lautaro Martinez was also among the scorers, converting a penalty after a VAR review following a foul on Leandro Paredes.

The result keeps Argentina in commanding form as they move into the knockout rounds, with Messi continuing to rewrite the record books at what many expect to be his final World Cup.
