Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland return to action in the FIFA World Cup 2026 after stunning performances in their opening matches. Messi scored a hat-trick against Algeria and is now one goal away from becoming the tournament's all-time leading scorer. Mbappe netted twice against Senegal and moved closer to the World Cup scoring record, while Haaland marked his World Cup debut with two goals in Norway's win over Iraq. Argentina face Austria, France take on Iraq, and Norway meet Senegal as all three stars look to guide their teams closer to the knockout stage and add more records to their names. (PC: X)
