You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Lionel Messi is rewriting history at this World Cup, and IShowSpeed is not having a good time. The Argentine captain put three past Algeria in a three-nil demolition, drawing level with Miroslav Klose for the most World Cup goals ever scored. Ronaldo fans worldwide felt every single one of those.
Meanwhile the travel ban controversy refuses to quiet down. Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly is furious after Donald Trump's partial travel restrictions left thousands of Senegalese supporters unable to attend their nation's matches, despite the United States co-hosting the tournament. Koulibaly put it simply — football is for everybody, and this decision cuts against everything the game stands for.
Across in Group J, Austria made a statement on their return to the World Cup after a twenty-eight year absence, edging past debutants Jordan three goals to one. It was nervy — Jordan pulled one back early in the second half — but a Romano Schmid stunner, a fortunate own goal, and a late Marko Arnautovic penalty sealed the points and sent a clear message to the rest of the group.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
