World Cup Daily: Matchday 13 - Can Ronaldo End His Drought?

Portugal and England are both back in action on Tuesday.

⚽ World Cup Daily: Matchday 13 More history for Lionel Messi. | Rico Brouwer/Soccrates/Getty Images Introducing the top scorer in World Cup history ... Lionel Messi. Not even a missed penalty could stop Messi as he netted twice in Argentina’s 2–0 win over Austria to move ahead of Miroslav Klose in the record books. Keep an eye on Kylian Mbappé, whose own double for France against Iraq took him up to 16 World Cup goals. He netted either side of a half-time break that ended up taking two hours after the restart was repeatedly delayed. Erling Haaland and Norway rowed their Viking boat right through to the knockouts after seeing off Senegal, before Algeria dumped Jordan out of the competition to round out the night. Now we switch our attention to Tuesday’s action, which begins with Portugal vs. Uzbekistan and Cristiano Ronaldo’s bid to avoid going 11 straight games at a major tournament without scoring. England then takes on Ghana, with Harry Kane looking to keep up the pace with those already running away at the top of the scoring charts. Panama faces Croatia as the day’s action continues, before things come to a conclusion with Colombia’s battle with DR Congo.
