That gave Messi 16 career goals in the World Cup, tying him with Germany\u2019s Miroslav Klose for the all-time record.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo is also looking to make history by becoming the first player to score in six World Cups. Messi, too, is playing in his sixth World Cup but failed to find the net in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I wish him the best \u2014 I hope that he scores but not against us,&#8221; Congo coach S\u00e9bastien Desabre said of the Portugal forward.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo&#8217;s focus has been on his team&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe go match by match, but not with the expectations of winning it all,\u201d Ronaldo told reporters in Portugal last week before the team\u2019s departure. \u201cIt has to be step by step. A good start is the most important thing,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Portugal supporters question whether the aging star will be a help or a detriment to the team.<\/p>\n<p>After scoring just once in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo was upset after he subbed off against South Korea and benched for the club&#8217;s first knockout-stage match against Switzerland. He also failed to score in the 2024 European Championship \u2014 the first time that has happened at a major international tournament.<\/p>\n<p>But Ronaldo has also shown signs of his old productivity.<\/p>\n<p>He scored eight goals during Portugal\u2019s 2025 UEFA Nations League title, including an equalizer in the final against Spain. And, he recently won his first Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr, scoring a club-high 28 goals.<\/p>\n<p>What to watch on June 17<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Portugal vs. Congo, 1 p.m. EDT in Houston (Fox\/Telemundo\/Peacock)<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 England vs. Croatia, 4 p.m. EDT in Arlington, Texas (FS1\/Telemundo\/Peacock)<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ghana vs. Panama, 7 p.m. EDT in Toronto (FS1\/Telemundo\/Peacock)<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Uzbekistan vs. Colombia, 10 p.m. EDT in Mexico City (FS1\/Telemundo\/Peacock)<\/p>\n<p>Kane, England seek strong World Cup start vs. Croatia<\/p>\n<p>Harry Kane, one of the world\u2019s dominant goal scorers, leads England into its first match against Croatia with the Three Lions seeking their first World Cup title since 1966, when they won on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>Kane has been a force over the past year with 61 goals in 51 matches for Bayern Munich across all competitions. The 32-year-old striker has eight goals in two previous World Cups and won the Golden Boot in 2018 by scoring six times in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>But he didn\u2019t score in England\u2019s semifinal loss to Croatia in 2018. In 2022, he missed a penalty late against France in a 2-1 semifinal loss in Qatar when he sent the ball over the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>Kane\u2019s eight World Cup goals are two shy of Gary Lineker&#8217;s England record.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana to be without Partey for opener after appeal denied<\/p>\n<p>Ghana will play its opening match against Panama without midfielder Thomas Partey after a Canadian judge on Tuesday rejected a bid to allow him into the country as he awaits trial on rape charges.<\/p>\n<p>Partey&#8217;s visa application was denied last week.<\/p>\n<p>He will remain in the United States while his teammates play in Toronto on Wednesday. He will be eligible to play in Ghana\u2019s next two matches \u2014 both in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=2549\">Republican Gov.
