We're watching the craziest race for the best shooter in the history of the World Championships.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has set numerous records, but one statistic stands out: three different players—Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland—each scored seven or more goals in the tournament. This marks the first time in World Cup history that three players achieved this feat, highlighting an unprecedented level of offensive dominance. Mbappé continues to solidify his status as one of the most dominant players in modern football, Messi, at 39 years old, reinforces his reputation as the greatest of all time, while Haaland demonstrated his club-level goal-scoring ability on the world stage. The rarity of this achievement underscores the exceptional quality of this World Cup final phase, with three global superstars representing different generations and national teams competing for the Golden Boot.
