The best goalscorers on the planet have been impressing at World Cup 2026, with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland leading the way when it comes to finding the back of the net.
For our latest edition of SB Nation Reacts we want to find out who you think will win the coveted Golden Boot prize at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi will celebrate his 39th birthday on Wednesday but has demonstrated his genius once again in Argentina’s first two games. The Inter Miami star bagged a hat-trick against
Algeria and then followed that up with two goals against Austria to become the World Cup’s all-time leading goalscorer.
