The competition for the Golden Boot is intensifying with the world's best soccer stars such as Mbappé, Messi, and Kane playing in the 2026 World Cup.
Although the 2026 World Cup has only just begun, the world's best soccer stars are already showing off their outstanding performances on the field. Just a few days after the competition began, many players are attracting attention by scoring goals. Key figures in this tournament include Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who has recently been in the spotlight again. The competition has only entered its third day, but the competition for the Golden Boot is already heating up. Kylian Mbappé is considered a strong candidate thanks to his strong support from the French national team. He won the Golden Boot by scoring eight goals at the 2022 World Cup, and is continuing that momentum in this tournament. His World Cup goals tally has now increased to 16 goals in three tournaments.
Harry Kane is receiving special attention. He scored 61 goals last season and won the Golden Shoe, and is gaining momentum at this World Cup by scoring two goals against Croatia in his first game.
Lionel Messi is still showing outstanding skills despite being 39 years old. He scored a hat-trick in the first match against Algeria and added two more goals in the second match against Austria, bringing his current tally to five goals. There is a possibility that a notable surprise will occur in the competition. Erling Haaland has scored two goals each in two games for a total of four goals, while Mikel Oyarzabal and Cristiano Ronaldo are also playing important roles for their respective teams. Ronaldo is in the spotlight once again after scoring two goals against Uzbekistan.
