IAN HERBERT: The numbers reveal an extraordinary consistency. It's 18 goals in 28 World Cup outings, now. He becomes the third player in World Cup history to score in six consecutive games.

While Mohamed Salah's club career is still undecided, he's building his legacy with Egypt. Salah scored his 68th goal in international play, a total now just one goal shy of current Egypt coach Hossam Hassans career record for the Pharaohs, in a 3-1 World Cup victory Sunday night over New Zealand. It was his third World Cup goal after he netted two at the 2018 tournament in Russia. Three goals at the World Cup gives the 34-year-old Salah the most ever for an Egyptian player.Salah played for Liverpool for nine seasons, winning two Premier League titles and becoming the league's leading foreign goal scorer. But he had a dip in form this season and amid tensions, announced his contract with the squad would be ended a year early. His departure from Anfield sparked discussion as to where the striker would be going next. For now, he plays for Egypt with his future plans still uncertain. While between clubs, Mo Salah has etched his name further into the history books as the captain of the first Egyptian team to win a World Cup match.What happened today is history for us as Egyptians, Salah said. We see a lot of teams win games, but for us as Egyptian, it doesnt happen often, first time in history.Fans would have to wait to see the Salah they grew to expect at Liverpool.

Lionel Messi could still be dazzling fans at the 2030 World Cup despite already being 38 years old, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.The Argentina captain enhanced his already glittering legacy on Monday night by scoring twice in a 2-0 victory over Austria in Dallas, taking his tally to five goals in just two matches at this summer's tournament.Messi had already netted a hat-trick in Argentina's opening 3-0 win over Algeria and has now moved two clear of Miroslav Klose to become the World Cup's all-time leading goalscorer.While many expected this summer to be the final chapter of Messi's remarkable international career, Balague believes the Inter Miami star still has another World Cup left in him.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say"He is enjoying it and this is the best thing. I have seen him play World Cups where he couldn't last 90 minutes, Balague said while analysing Argentina's latest victory on BBC Radio 5 Live."Here at the end, he was running like anyone else, now he knows his body so well."Messi doesn't need to run. He doesn't even need explosive pace to beat defenders, he just does it with intelligence."I think we're going to see him in four years time."Balague admitted it is becoming increasingly difficult to put Messi's achievements into context."It is another record,' he added.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Roy Keane hits out at England players after Thomas Tuchel comments at World CupLionel Messi is ending the Cristiano Ronaldo debate at this summer's World CupKyren Wilson devastated after burglars steal anniversary gift and charity cash from family home"We don't have time to create statues for Lionel Messi or deep analysis for him in newspapers. We cannot keep pace."Messi missed an early penalty against Austria after Lautaro Martinez was fouled inside the area but quickly made amends, opening the scoring with a trademark left-footed finish before adding his second goal of the evening after following up Julian Alvarez's saved effort.Former Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta hailed Messi's blistering start to the competition."Memorable moment, breaking the record," he said."For Lionel Messi, scoring two goals after coming from a hat-trick, I think is a pretty impressive start at the World Cup."Former France striker Olivier Giroud was equally effusive in his praise."Lionel Messi is getting better and better with age," Giroud said."Five goals for Argentina in two games, the only scorer."He is always in the right place at the right time."He is in the middle to create and dictate the game."Argentina have now won both of their Group J matches, with Jordan lying in wait on Sunday.Based on this evidence, Lionel Scaloni's men will take some stopping as they target back-to-back World Cup triumphs.
