Messi did it again . He scored an hattrick and now he is the top WC goal scorer of all time . Argentina won by 3-0. Messi scored first goal in the 17th minute , 2nd in the 60th and 3rd in the 76th. Overall Algeria kept 52% possession 102.9 km distance covered. 0.30xG , 0 big chances created and total of 7 shots. On the other hand Argentina covered 87.2 km distance, 1.47xG , 1 big chance created and scored by Messi and a total of 10 shots. Argentina committed 13 fouls and 27 tackles. Lionel Messi was named as player of the match for his incredible performance . Argentina is now top of the table with 3 points and GD.
Messi is an incredible player, despite his age he have a good physic, stamina and good speed. He deserve this hattrick and deserve to become the best goal scorer of the world cup of all time. I only add my consideration that the goalkeeper is not a real good player, he was the third goalkeeper of Real Madrid some years ago but he has commit some errors.
The goalkeeper was terrible. This perhaps made things easier for Argentina. Messi had a comfortable game and they secured the three points with three goals. It was very enjoyable to watch Argentina's match. I'm watching the England match now and we're seeing some really great chances in this game as well. England just scored another goal against Croatia through Bellingham.
The Argentina game was very entertaining and I must say that Lionel Messi was all over the pitch and deserved the goals he scored. Despite the controversy surrounding his tack on the Algerian player, he performed real good. France too played good football as Kylian Mbappe gave fans what they payed for. Unlike today, I just finished watching Portugal's game and lost the interest in watching anymore game today. The disappointment and boring nature of the game was so unbearable. The Congolese coach's 5-3-2 formation killed the game, the defence was water tight and Portugal couldn't register more goals until Wissa shared the points with his header.
Christiano Ronaldo couldn't impress his fans today just like other star players have tried to impress their fans already. Perhaps, his first goal would be against Uzbekistan of which they must have to win the game to stand a chance. Bruno Fernandez was not impressed with the connection, he couldn't play his full game because Ronaldo wasn't flexible enough to react swiftly. Certainly, age is setting in on his side.
