Two things have undoubtedly been true this summer: The superstars are shining, and the Golden Boot odds seem to be changing every minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After coming into Argentina’s final group game against Jordan in the 60th minute, it took very little time for Lionel Messi to put one in the back of the net. Messi’s 80th minute free kick gave him his sixth goal of the tournament, setting the record for most consecutive matches with a goal in the World Cup (7).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Messi is now up to 19 career World Cup goals, extending his record for the most by any man or woman in World Cup history.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, France’s Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 put together a spectacular performance against Norway on Friday, scoring a hat trick in the first half of Les Bleus’ 4-1 win.<\/p>\n
Both Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and his teammate Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 have four goals apiece so far this summer. However, with the knockout stage set to begin on Sunday, they are both looking up at Messi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:<\/p>\n
The Tally: <\/strong>Messi has the most goals this tournament with six, while Mbapp\u00e9, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, Erling Haaland and Vini Jr. are tied in second with four.<\/p>\n Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 Arrives:<\/strong> The reigning Ballon d’Or winner made his presence felt on Friday, solidifying why France is the favorite to win it all. Demb\u00e9l\u00e9’s first-half hat trick was the second-quickest hat trick in tournament history, accomplishing the feat in just 32 minutes. Austria’s Erich Probst did it in 24 minutes way back in the 1954 World Cup. Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 is the third player to score a hat-trick for France at a men’s World Cup, after Just Fontaine (twice in 1958) and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 (once in 2022).<\/p>\n History Made: <\/strong>With his hat trick against Algeria, <\/strong>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 twice to put some space between himself and Klose. Finally, after coming on as a sub in the second half of Argentina’s last group stage match against Jordan, Messi added another, this time via a lovely free kick. Mbapp\u00e9, with his offensive performance so far this tournament, now has 16 career World Cup goals, tying Klose for the second-most in men\u2019s World Cup history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY Two things have undoubtedly been true this summer: The superstars are shining, and the Golden Boot odds seem to be changing every minute.\u00a0 After coming into Argentina’s final group game against Jordan in the 60th minute, it took very little time for Lionel Messi to put one in the back of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":5708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
