Messi Magic

Argentina’s #10 is the #1 scorer in World Cup history with 18 goals… and counting.

Lionel Messi scored twice in Argentina’s win over Austria Monday, passing Germany’s Miroslav Klose for the all-time men’s record and Brazil’s femme-phenom Marta for the overall crown (see the history-making moment). Even with Messi’s five total goals, this year’s Golden Boot race is tight as France’s Kylian Mbappé and Norway’s Erling Haaland have four net-bulges apiece.

Sunday, Cape Verde’s fairytale continued as the archipelago debutants drew 2-2 with Uruguay, setting up a win-and-you’re-in match with Saudi Arabia on Friday.

In basketball news, the Milwaukee Bucks traded two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat Monday for a players-plus-picks package that included the 13th pick in last night’s NBA Draft, where the Washington Wizards selected BYU’s AJ Dybantsa first overall.

RADIATE HOPE
Whether you’re lighting up a packed stadium or walking through the ordinary rhythms of life as a worker, parent, or student, we all have an opportunity to honor God with our lives and bring the eternal hope of Christ into every interaction. Even if it feels small, the audience of One is cheering you on.

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
