The edition released by Modo Fan had as a common point actors and actresses who are presenting plays in the country.
The tribute to the national team was rewarded this Tuesday, June 16, by achieving a tremendous victory in its first World Cup match against Algeria. Those led by Lionel Scaloni began the defense of the title with a convincing performance and a 3-0 victory over the African country in their debut in Group J of the 2026 World Cup. The match, played in Kansas City, once again showed the validity of a generation of footballers who have dominated the international scene for more than five years and who have managed to build one of the most successful stages in the history of Argentine football.
In that aspect, the great figure of the night was Lionel Messi, scorer of the three goals of the match, although the collective performance once again exhibited several of the traits that characterize the so-called Scaloneta: defensive solidity, physical intensity, tactical commitment and a strong identification between players and fans. The captain monopolized the flashes with a historic hat trick that allowed him to equal German Miroslav Klose as the top scorer in World Cup history with 16 goals.
The Rosario champion opened the scoring in the 17th minute, widened the lead in the second half and completed his first World Cup hat-trick in the 76th minute, in a performance that earned him an ovation from almost 70,000 spectators. In addition, “La Pulga” reached other extraordinary milestones: he played in his sixth World Cup, something unprecedented in the history of men’s soccer, and celebrated his 200th match with the albiceleste shirt.
