2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026. Lionel Messi has now played in six consecutive World Cups, making him the only player to do so.
Messi scored early against Algeria, but the shot was ruled offside.
The 38-year-old didn't give up, and minutes later he got the ball, took a few quick steps and headed it in off the crossbar. The goal was Messi's 14th in the World Cup.
Before that, Algeria also had a goal disallowed.
Messi will likely have company in playing in six World Cups. Barring anything unforeseen, Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, is expected to play for Portugal on Wednesday against Congo-Kinshasa. Both stars are also the only players to have scored in five World Cups, according to the AP.
