Argentina is highly likely to win. Can Messi make history again? -- Little Fortune's World Cup Betting Diary 🔥

Tomorrow early morning, the World Cup group stage will once again feature a key match. The reason it's called a "key" match is not only because it’s a clash of strong teams but also because the whole world is watching whether Messi can surpass Klose and dominate the top scorer list in the World Cup. I believe the answer is yes. The defending champions will use a victory to fully claim the throne of the all-time top scorer in World Cup history:

1. Messi’s Record Night: 16 Goals Is Not the End, It’s the Starting Line

June 17th, 38-year-old Messi scored a hat-trick, leading Argentina to top Group J. They swept Algeria 3-0, and his personal World Cup goals reached 16, tying Klose’s historical record.

After the match, Messi said something simple yet weighty: "I feel very good."

At 38, in his sixth World Cup, and his 200th senior national team match—this man isn’t just playing football; he’s writing a living epic. And tomorrow against Austria, just one more goal will see him alone at the top of the World Cup all-time scorer list.

Do you think someone carrying such a historic mission would be soft-hearted in a Dallas night game?

No. Absolutely not.

2. On Paper Strength: 800 Million vs. 200 Million, This Is Not a Match, It’s a Domination

Let the data speak.

Argentina’s total team value is €818 million, ranked first in the world. Just Messi, Alvarez (€100 million), Enzo (€90 million), Lautaro (€85 million), and Mac Allister (€70 million) combined are worth over €400 million.

And Austria? Total team value is €245 million, ranked 24th in the world. The biggest stars, Alaba and Sabitzer, combined are worth no more than Alvarez’s level.

Argentina’s starting lineup alone surpasses Austria’s three starting lineups with plenty to spare.

This isn’t just a football gap; it’s an industrial nation versus an agricultural nation.

3. First Round Performance: One is a slaughter, the other a narrow victory

Don’t be fooled by Austria’s 3-1 score.

Their win over Jordan was not easy. Jordan is a newcomer to the World Cup, with 11 shots and 3 on target throughout the game, pushing Austria into a mess for the first 60 minutes. If not for Jordan defender Yazan Arab’s own goal and Arnautović’s penalty in stoppage time, whether Austria could win would be questionable.

Rangnick himself admitted afterward: "Our opponents caused us a lot of trouble in the first 60 minutes."

As for Argentina? 3-0, a clean sheet, Messi scored a hat-trick, and the team controlled the game smoothly. Algeria had almost no response, Mahrez was completely frozen out.

One is an easy, relaxed blowout; the other a bumpy narrow win by a newcomer—who has the more confidence tomorrow? The answer is obvious.

4. Tactical Battle: Can Austria’s Counterattack Pierce Argentina?

Some say Austria has Arnautović and Baumgartner, with top-tier counterattack speed, specifically to counter possession-based teams.

That’s true. But the problem is—you first have to get the ball.

What is Argentina’s midfield setup? Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister, two top interception machines, plus De Paul’s frantic pressing. Austria wants to counterattack? First, they have to get past these three iron gates.

Moreover, the Dallas AT&T Stadium is wide, giving Austria space for quick counterattacks. But at the same time, this open field is also a paradise for Argentina’s wing play—Molina frequently overlaps and crosses, while Lautaro and Alvarez wait in the box to pounce. Can Austria’s fragile backline withstand this three-dimensional attack?

More critically, 65 minutes is a watershed for stamina. South American players are naturally adapted to high temperatures, while Austrian Bundesliga players excel at high-intensity confrontation, but in Dallas’s 25°C humid heat, fatigue in the second half is almost inevitable.

Once Austria starts gasping after 60 minutes, Argentina’s second wave of attacks will surge like a tide.

5. The Balance of History: A team that hasn’t won a World Cup in 36 years, what right do they have to stop the defending champions?

When was Austria’s last World Cup win? 1990. It’s been 36 years.

They returned to the World Cup after 28 years, and just because they beat Jordan in the first round, they think they’re capable? Don’t forget, Jordan is one of the weakest teams in World Cup history.

And tomorrow, they face the defending champions, the number one in the world, and Messi’s record-chasing Argentina.

Alaba honestly said after the match: "Playing against Messi is every player’s dream, but we also know that Argentina is not only Messi."

Yes, they are not only Messi. They also have Alvarez, Lautaro, Enzo, Mac Allister, Romero… The depth of this team is enough to make any opponent despair.
