It happened. The greatest of all time, Lionel Messi, made World Cup history on Monday afternoon at AT&T Stadium Dallas Stadium.
Last Tuesday, Messi recorded his 16th goal across his World Cup career. To be clear, on Tuesday Messi also recorded his 14th and 15th just before it as he had a hat trick. These were critical goals for sports history as the three of them put Messi in a tie for the most goals scored all-time in men’s World Cup history with Miroslav Klose.
We discussed then how Messi’s next
goal would obviously be the record-breaker. The reason it was hypothetically, and now realistically, significant to us is that Messi’s next two games were scheduled to be played at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, what the World Cup is recognizing as Dallas Stadium.
Messi actually missed a penalty shot previous to his record-breaking goal, but when set up for another chance, he buried it in the back of the net.
Obviously this has nothing to do with the Cowboys, but it is cool to see their stadium is now the site of one of the more historic things to ever happen across sports at large.
Hopefully they themselves can add to that this upcoming season.
