A hat-trick for Messi and he moves into equal first most goals in a World Cup!

Magnificent Messi, Wow. The oldest player to score an hat-trick in an World Cup and he matches Klose's record. Quite unbelievable.

Six minutes of added time left in this match can Algeria get an goal back or can Argentina extend their lead.

Messi hat-trick it is then. Crazy how he’s at his 6th World Cup and he’s looked better and better at each one.

Austria and Jordan locked at 1-1 at the 71st minute.

A VAR review denies Austria the go ahead goal due to hand ball.

Austria lead 2-1 now thanks to an own goal from Yazan Al-Arab.

Austria were not entirely convincing but got the job done in the end. More like the team that lost to Turkey than the one that excitingly beat the Netherlands at the last Euros.

I think their goal that was ruled out for handball should have stood.

Austria win 3-1 with a penalty goal to Marko Arnautovic.

Of COURSE i've woken up to news of a Messi hat-trick. Because why not.

Honestly, playing Jordan, he could get two.

Unless they are sensible and rest him ready for play offs.

Exactly this, in his "prime" he always underdelivered at the WCs but he's making up for lost time now!

At this rate, this WC will end up being who can reach 20 total goals faster between Messi & Mbappe, although of course Mbappe will have at least 2 perhaps 3 more WCs to add to his tally.

Argentina is definitely a big contender for the title. Strong game from them.

Austria needs some more finetuning, but they also have a good team and they should finish second in this group.

Just watched the highlights of Austria v Jordan - certainly a lot of drama there! Glad that Jordan did get one goal as they had a few good opportunities.

Well if there's one blot on Messi's record book it's definitely his penalty conversion rate.

But he makes up for it by becoming the outright all time WC top scorer. He is inevitable.

Absolute incredible from Messi.

5 goals already this tournament for Messi!

Another one for his radar, beating Just Fontaine's record of 13 goals in a tournament. Still standing since 1958.

If they get to the final he def will!

Fair chance if he palys in the last group game that he'll score another couple of goals or more.

Jordan leading Algeria 1-0 at helf time.
