The Guardian FootballUSMNT’s Alex Zendejas, yet to play at World Cup, readies for his moment: ‘I’m sure it’ll come’
Club América star did not appear in first two US games Dual-national was surprise pick to Pochettino’s squad Dead-rubber Turkey match could be time for debut As his US teammates finished off group-clinching wins over Paraguay and Australia, all Alex Zendejas could do to help was watch. It isn’t the role Zendejas aspired to have at this World Cup. The 28-year-old was a coveted dual-national who chose to represent the nation he grew up in over Mexico, where he was born and has played most of his professional career.

The Guardian FootballArgentinian national treasure Lionel Messi stands alone at goalscoring pinnacle | Pablo Iglesias Maurer
Missed penalty merely delayed the inevitable before forward scored the goals to go past Miroslav Klose’s World Cup goals record There stood 38-year-old Lionel Messi by the penalty spot, poised for yet another flashbulb moment in a career already overflowing with them.

The Guardian FootballIrrepressible Messi breaks World Cup scoring record as Argentina beat Austria
It had to be Lionel Messi, it had to be on this day and perhaps it even needed to be in Dallas too. History was created in the way he knows best, a clinical left-footed flourish setting him out on his own as the World Cup’s highest goalscorer of all time. An occasion that already throbbed with an epic, cinematic quality had its moment for the ages and the genius who served it up will surely provide even more. A first golden boot would not be the worst present for an icon who turns 39 on Wednesday. Nobody should expect anything less because Messi has no idea how to stop. Four minutes into added time this match was dying, a competent but blunt Austria showing no sign of dampening the mood. This was already Messi’s day, goal number 17 coming late in the first half and rarely looking anything but the winner in an otherwise unremarkable contest. Well, make that 18. There has never been a finer player because there has never been a brighter footballing mind, one that has been thoroughly exercised across a career spanning more than two decades but simply refuses to dull.
