Messi has the most goals this tournament, followed by Canada’s Jonathan David with three, and a host of other stars — Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, Vinícius Jr., Mikel Oyarzabal and Kai Havertz — with two.

Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:
The Favorite(s): Recognize those two names atop the board? In Argentina’s opener against Algeria, 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. Then, in Argentina’s second game against Austria, Messi scored late in the first half to pass Klose for the record. Not to be outdone, Mbappé reminded everyone why he entered the tournament as the Golden Boot favorite. The French superstar scored twice in his World Cup opener, as he became France’s new all-time leader in goals with 58. He won the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and is looking to become the first player in history to win two World Cup Golden Boot awards.
