Lionel Messi played for his native Argentina when they met Austria at Dallas Stadium, which locals know as AT&T Stadium, in Arlington.<\/p>

Messi has already showed off his skills during the world\u2019s biggest sports tournament. He pulled a hat-trick during Argentina\u2019s 3-0 win over Algeria. That tied Messi with Germany\u2019s Miroslave Klose for the most goals in men\u2019s World Cup history at 16. During the first-half of Monday’s match, Messi broke that record with his 17th goal of his World Cup career.<\/p>
