Soccer: Lionel Messi scores for Argentina in record-breaking seventh World Cup game in a row

# Soccer: Lionel Messi came off the bench to score and break yet another record as Argentina maintained their perfect start to the World Cup with a comfortable victory over Jordan in Dallas. Having been left on the bench, with Argentina having already won Group J, Messi was brought on in the 60th minute to the loudest cheer of the night. He curled a low free-kick around the goal wall to extend Argentina’s lead. Jordan have now been knocked out, while Argentina faces debutant Cape Verde in their last Round of 32 game.
