The only player to have won two Golden Boots in World Cup history
Kylian Mbappé is the player who benefited the most from today’s France vs. England match, despite France’s loss!
Mbappé scored two goals today, and imagine, at just 27 years old, he has become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history with 22 goals.
He still has the chance to surpass this incredible record because he’ll be playing in at least one more World Cup!
And imagine, Mbappé has scored 10 goals in this World Cup, making him only the fourth player in World Cup history to score 10 goals in a single tournament, and the first after Gerd Müller in the 1970 World Cup!
Not only that, Mbappé is also the all-time top scorer in World Cup knockout stages with 14 goals.
And he’s scored in the same number of matches he’s played – 22 goals in 22 World Cup games!
And finally, if Messi doesn’t score a hat-trick or two goals and provide an assist in the final against Spain, it means Mbappe will be the only player to have won two Golden Boots in World Cup history.
It will be an exceptional moment in every sense of the word.
All the fuss over Kylian Mbappé, and very little overshadowed by the underrated Michael Olissé!
Unfortunately, all of Olissé’s efforts in the World Cup will be forgotten because of the number of goals Mbappé scored, which stole the spotlight.
However, Olissé was a major reason for this, having provided 5 assists for Mbappé’s 10 goals, especially after Deschamps moved Olissé into a more central role, recognizing his exceptional playmaking abilities and potential to benefit Mbappé!
That’s why football has finally vindicated Olissé. He surpassed Pelé and became the player with the most assists in a single World Cup tournament with 7.
And imagine, he’s now the third-highest assist provider in World Cup history, despite this being his first World Cup appearance!
Not only that, but Olsés also provided 34 assists this season, the highest number ever recorded in a single season.
He’s also the top assist provider in the Champions League, in addition to contributing to 61 goals and winning the Bundesliga Player of the Year award!
The player with the most assists in the Bundesliga, the Champions League, and the World Cup, Olsés has had a truly remarkable season in playmaking.
I truly pity anyone who missed the France vs. England match because they literally missed out!
England completely dominated France in the first half. Tuchel solidified the French defense with Rodgers, Toni, and Saka, while simultaneously creating space on the wings for the full-backs and Rashford, employing passes behind the defenders. The result was that England scored four goals in one go!
Deschamps, however, refused to end his time with France in disgrace, bringing on Upamecano, Dembélé, and Barcola, and moving Olsée into a more central role. And then, all hell broke loose.
France scored four goals, but England responded with two goals of their own, winning 6-4.
A match with 10 goals, 14 clear scoring opportunities, 38 shots, two goals after the 90th minute, and Saka scoring a hat-trick—it wasn’t just a match; it was an international spectacle!
Oscar’s match was the most entertaining in the 2026 World Cup and one of the strongest matches in World Cup history; a match for the ages, ladies and gentlemen.
The scene you’re watching is truly one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen in a World Cup!
In the 88th minute, with the score at 4-3 for England against France, England had won a penalty kick.
If they scored, they would secure the bronze medal for the first time in their World Cup history!
What happened next was that Bellingham went to get the ball because if he scored, he would become the highest-scoring English player in a single World Cup tournament – a rare opportunity!
But Bellingham decided to give the ball to Saka because he had already scored two goals, and if he scored the penalty, he would score his first World Cup hat-trick and England’s first since 2018. And indeed, Saka scored the hat-trick, and Bellingham was the first to celebrate with him!
