If there was any doubt whether or not the best player of his generation was ready to go in his sixth World Cup at the age of 38, Lionel Messi answered. Or rather, he answered again, again and again.
Argentina defeated Algeria 3-0 on Tuesday evening, behind three goals from Messi and a dominant performance.
