Argentina's Lionel Messi (centre) scores against Haiti during their international friendly tie at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires on Tuesday

Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick to power Argentina to a 4-0 victory in their World Cup warm-up match against Haiti, and then said lifting the World Cup would be the nation's 'dream'. The Barcelona forward fired a penalty into the back of the net to open the scoring after 17 minutes, before taking his second 12 minutes into the second half. Messi completed the triple, and scored his 64th international goal, with a tap-in past Haiti keeper Johny Placide after 65 minutes.
