标题：Argentinian national treasure Lionel Messi stands alone at goalscoring pinnacle

Missed penalty merely delayed the inevitable before forward scored the goals to go past Miroslav Klose’s World Cup goals record

正文：There stood 38-year-old Lionel Messi by the penalty spot, poised for yet another flashbulb moment in a career already overflowing with them. Just a few days removed from his first World Cup hat-trick – one that had thrust him into co-ownership of the all-time tournament goalscoring record – Messi had been gifted an opportunity to notch his 17th goal and stand atop the mountain alone. Calmly, coolly, he approached the ball. And then he missed the goal entirely.

知识点：poised /pɔɪzd/ adj.
本义为 “镇定的；准备就绪的；保持平衡的”，体育赛事语境核心义为 蓄势待发的，
形容运动员神情沉稳、状态到位，已做好充分准备迎接关键动作或重要时刻（本文特指梅西站在点球点前，沉着蓄力准备主罚点球）
核心搭配：poised for sth、poised to do sth、remain poised、look poised to 
score
・Messi stood poised for the penalty that could make history.
梅西站在原地，蓄势待发，准备主罚这记足以创造历史的点球。
・The team is poised to claim their third consecutive league title.
这支球队状态正佳，即将拿下联赛三连冠。
