Lionel Messi turns 39 today as the World Cup's all-time top scorer. Having led Argentina to the Round of 32, discover the final 3 records he can still break. On June 24, 2026, Lionel Messi officially celebrates his 39th birthday, marking a historic personal milestone in the middle of a phenomenal run at the 2026 World Cup. While most players of his generation have long since transitioned into coaching or punditry, the legendary Argentine captain is spending his birthday week standing entirely alone at the absolute pinnacle of international football. Following an unforgettable performance on Monday where his clinical brace against Austria steered Argentina safely into the Round of 32, Messi completely rewrote nearly a century of tournament folklore. He didn’t just break the records; he took total custody of them. Before diving into the historical milestones he can still conquer over the next month, let’s look at the elite tournament benchmarks Messi already holds outright: Outright All-Time Top Scorer: 18 total goals, sitting completely clear of Germany’s Miroslav Klose (16) and Brazil’s Marta (17) after his 5-goal explosion in just two games this summer.Most Match Victories: 18 career World Cup wins, moving clear of Klose following Monday’s victory in Dallas.Most Matches Played: 28 total tournament appearances stretching across an unprecedented six different editions.Longevity Benchmark: Joint longest time span between a player’s first and last tournament goals (20 years, 11 days). Que seas muy feliz, Leo. Más feliz de lo que nos hacés a nosotros. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, capitán! 🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/Imdy4jVogc— 🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ (@Argentina) June 24, 2026 Even with the ultimate scoring mountain fully conquered, Messi’s historical bucket list isn’t completely finished. As Argentina moves into the single-elimination phase, here are the final three historic frontiers the birthday boy can still smash. The final 3 records Lionel Messi can still break 1. The outright all-time assist record While he safely owns the scoring record, Messi is currently tied at the very top of the creative mountain. According to verified modern-era statistics, Messi has accumulated 8 career assists, leaving him in a dead-heat tie with Diego Maradona. Because Messi is the only player in history to register an assist in five different World Cups, his creative consistency is unparalleled. One more goal-scoring pass to a teammate like Julián Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez will give him sole, undisputed ownership of the tournament’s all-time assist crown. 2. Most goals in a single tournament by an Argentina captain By netting five goals in just his opening two Group J fixtures, the 39-year-old maestro has completely redefined late-career attacking output. He is currently chasing the internal national record for the most goals scored by an active captain in a single World Cup campaign, a record currently held by Diego Maradona, who scored five as captain during the legendary 1986 run. One more strike pushes Messi past his former manager into standalone national history. Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrating (Getty Images). 3. The most penalties taken (and missed) in history Proving that he is at least mortal, Messi’s dramatic missed penalty in the sixth minute against Austria actually keeps him on the path toward an unusual statistical milestone. The superstar now holds the joint record for both the most regular-play penalties taken (7) and the most penalties missed (3) in World Cup history. Another spot-kick in either direction will lock this record down as his alone. What’s next for Argentina’s captain? Following consecutive multi-goal victories, coach Lionel Scaloni has the ultimate luxury of managing his captain’s minutes. With the top seed in Group J firmly within their grasp, Argentina will look to wrap up a flawless opening stage this weekend: Matchday 3: Argentina vs JordanCalendar Date: Saturday, June 27, 2026Stadium Venue: Dallas Stadium (Arlingt
Portugal will play against Uzbekistan at the Houston Stadium for Matchday 2 of FIFA World Cup group stage. After a tough debut against DR Congo, Portugal is looking for its first win against Uzbekistan, who lost to Colombia in their first game. Here you can find how to watch this game live in the USA. Here are all of the details of where you can watch Portugal vs Uzbekistan on US television and via legal streaming: WHO Portugal vs Uzbekistan WHAT 2026 World Cup WHEN 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT • Tuesday, June 23, 2026 WHERE Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling, Peacock Premium, FOX, Telemundo and Hulu + Live TV STREAM WATCH NOW Match Overview Portugal enters its second group stage match with a sense of urgency after a stunningly flat performance in their opener. Held to a 1-1 draw by DR Congo, the pre-tournament favorites looked disjointed and uninspired, managing just a single shot on target despite overwhelming possession. The pressure is now squarely on Roberto Martinez’s side to deliver a statement win and prove their credentials as contenders, making this clash against Uzbekistan a critical test of their resolve. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan arrives with nothing to lose and everything to gain. In their first-ever tournament appearance, they fell 3-1 to a clinical Colombia side but showed flashes of promise, with Abbosbek Fayzullaev scoring the nation’s historic first goal. As the clear underdogs, they can play without the immense pressure weighing on their European opponents. For Portugal, anything less than a convincing three points would be a disaster, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter. Tactical Analysis & Match Context The opening round painted two very different pictures. Portugal, a team loaded with elite talent, stumbled out of the gate, failing to convert 75% possession into meaningful chances against DR Congo. Their anemic 0.65 expected goals (xG) exposed a concerning lack of creativity. In contrast, Uzbekistan weathered an early storm against Colombia and grew into the game, showing attacking intent in the second half. Their journey is about gaining experience, while Portugal‘s is about meeting lofty expectations. The tactical battle will be a classic case of attack versus defense. Portugal is guaranteed to dominate the ball, but the key question is whether they can break down what will likely be a compact, low block from Uzbekistan. Manager Fabio Cannavaro is expected to deploy a five-man backline to frustrate Portugal‘s attackers and deny space in behind. Portugal must move the ball with more speed and purpose than they did in their first match to avoid another frustrating stalemate. Motivation for both squads is crystal clear. For Portugal, this is a must-win match to get their campaign back on track and set up a group-deciding showdown with Colombia on the final matchday. For Uzbekistan, the goal is to remain competitive and potentially snatch a historic point. A resilient performance here would provide a massive confidence boost ahead of their final group game against DR Congo, which they will view as their best opportunity to secure a victory. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends This match in Houston will mark the first-ever meeting between Portugal and Uzbekistan. With no historical data to draw from, both teams will be stepping into uncharted territory, analyzing each other based purely on recent performances in the North American tournament. While they have never faced Uzbekistan, Portugal has a mixed record against Asian Football Confederation (AFC) nations at past tournaments, holding a record of three wins, one draw, and two losses in six matches. Their most recent encounter against an AFC team was a 2-1 defeat to South Korea in 2022, a result that serves as a reminder not to underestimate any opponent on the global stage. Given Portugal’s offensive struggles in their opener, generating just seven total shots, their attack will be under the microscope. However, their qualifying campaign saw them average an i
