Tournament Storylines

Messi rewrites history

Lionel Messi became the all-time leading goalscorer in men's World Cup history, scoring a hat-trick against Algeria and continuing to add to his tally as Argentina cruised through Group J with a perfect record.

Co-hosts off to fast starts

The USA became the second nation to clinch a Round of 32 spot, beating Australia 2-0 to win Group D — its first group win since 2010. Mexico also won Group A with two straight wins.

Norway return after 28 years

Erling Haaland scored twice on his World Cup debut as Norway beat Iraq 4-1, then followed up with two more against Senegal — Norway's first World Cup appearance since 1998.

Perfect records through two games

Six teams enter the final group games with maximum points: Mexico, USA, Germany, France, Norway, and Argentina — all 2-0-0 and already guaranteed knockout-stage football.

Algeria edge out Jordan

Algeria recovered from a slow start to eliminate Jordan from Group J contention, keeping their own knockout hopes alive heading into the final matchday against Austria.

England ride a Wonderwall

England fans broke into a rendition of Oasis's "Wonderwall" after a strong win over Croatia — the Three Lions now look to seal Group L against Ghana and Panama.
