Lionel Messi becomes men's World Cup all-time top scorer
Lionel Messi scored his 17th World Cup goal against Austria in Arlington, Texas, becoming the men's tournament all-time top scorer and surpassing Miroslav Klose. Messi, 38, now has 17 goals across six World Cups; the goal came after Messi missed a penalty earlier and put Argentina up 1-0 in Group J play. The new record highlights Messi's remarkable longevity at the highest international level and gives Argentina a proven scoring focal point as they pursue advancement from Group J.
Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 is the second player in history to score 17 goals at a World Cup. Marta did it first! 🇧🇷👑
Michael Scanlan24Of course a woman did it first, women are awesome. Just ask the US women's team.

Yxuppi!8I’ll be pedantic and suggest “in World Cups” instead of “at a World Cup, or “17 career goals at the World Cup.” The “a” in a World Cup suggests one World Cup.
Purrypurrydog6And he’s on 18 now…
helloworldd06.bsky.social5This is phrased bizarrely. It should say 17 goals scored across their world cup appearances.
Chris Barks5Thank you. Strange also, that it's wildly unknown that the US won 4! World champion titles in football/soccer.
Absurd_Dad3Women pave the way yet rarely get recognized credit. Once again.
Coração Tricolor3Now he passed her 18
Mlle_Lynda2Oh boy! Not another Brazil 🇧🇷 vs. Argentina 🇦🇷 rivalry. 🫣🤣😅
I am B2Marta is awesome but that is no reason to dismiss Messi’s greatness or record.
Messi, asked which of his World Cup goals was his favorite: “I don’t know. I don’t remember. I’m tired.”
Heidi Finan83“Goals are like children, no favorites. Gonna go take a nap”
Different Day25Man's gonna be 39 and has 5 goals in 2 World Cup games. Let him drink some Ensure and take a nap. GOAT
