Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is at a loss for words to describe Lionel Messi’s extraordinary performances. Messi made history as the first player to score in seven consecutive World Cup matches during Argentina's 3-1 triumph over Jordan on Saturday.

Substituted in at the 60-minute mark, Messi scored a decisive free kick in the 80th minute, setting a new milestone beyond Just Fontaine and Jairzinho’s records. 'It's a bit uncomfortable when I don't know what to say,' Scaloni admitted regarding Messi's stellar performances.

Argentina continued their strong form with goals from Giovani Lo Celso and Lautaro Martinez. Scaloni was pleased with his team's depth as they prepare to face Cape Verde next, a team that has proven resilient against tough opponents like Spain and Uruguay.
