## Resource

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! Where else to begin today other than with Lionel Messi surpassing Miroslav Klose and becoming the all-time leading scorer in the history of the FIFA World Cup™. He scored twice vs Austria to bring his all-time total to 18 in the World Cup and 5 in this tournament alone. Hot on his heels in the all-time chase is Kylian Mbappé who scored two himself against Iraq to put his all-time total at 16, just two behind the Argentine. And not to be outdone, Erling Haaland added a brace of his own vs Senegal to make this Megastar Monday truly live up to its name. After giving all the stars their flowers Alexi and Mosse previewed the next slate of matches that will see Harry Kane and England and Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal back in action and then took a trip down memory lane for Moment of the Day.
