World Cup holders Argentina take on Austria in Dallas in a Group J clash that could decide the group winner. All eyes are on Lionel Messi, who scored a hat-trick in the opener against Algeria and needs just one goal to become the tournament's all-time leading scorer.
Messi's Emotional Journey
Messi's family confirmed last Thursday that his father Jorge is undergoing medical treatment for an undisclosed illness. An Argentinian TV host resigned after falsely reporting Jorge, 68, had died. Messi was tearful at times in the opener in Kansas City but now has the chance to make history in Dallas.
Austria's Threat
Austria boast veteran forward Marko Arnautovic, who scored 112 minutes into their opening 3-1 win over Jordan. The 37-year-old came off the bench at half-time, had a goal disallowed, caused an own goal, and converted a late penalty.
Kick-off at Dallas Stadium is noon local time (6pm BST, 3am AEST).
