On Superstar Tuesday, the stars delivered in a way few could have imagined. Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland — three of the biggest stars in the world — combined for seven goals, completely reshaping the 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot race in a matter of hours. With his first career World Cup hat trick, Messi tied Miroslav Klose for the most goals in men’s World Cup history with 16, while also setting the record as the oldest player (38) to record a hat trick, passing Cristiano Ronaldo. Not to be outdone, Mbappé reminded everyone why he entered the tournament as the betting favorite. The French superstar scored twice in his World Cup opener, as he became France’s new all-time leader in goals with 58. Erling Haaland also added two goals in his World Cup debut. If Tuesday’s theatrics weren’t enough, Harry Kane got himself into the action with a brace of his own in England’s 4-2 win over Croatia on Wednesday. With his performance, Kane recorded his third career multi-goal game in a World Cup match, and tied Gary Lineker for the most goals in the World Cup by an England player (10). Kane is now up to 81 goals for his international career, becoming the tenth man ever to score 80+ international goals, and just the fifth European to do so. As a result, Kane has now overtaken Mbappé and Messi as the sole favorite to win the Golden Boot. He currently tops the oddsboard at +310 after being +950 prior to the match. As the first matches of the group stage are set to conclude on Wednesday, the Golden Boot race is already shaping up to be historic.
