The World Cup has now entered the semi-finals. Not only is the title race still ongoing, there is also a fierce competition for who will score the most goals in the tournament. Perhaps, it will be decided with the final.
The race for the Golden Boot Award has made the entire tournament exciting. Currently, only 4 teams are competing in the tournament. Even if the results of the matches are the same, each team will play 2 matches. Along with the semi-finals, either the final or the third-place match. The competition for the most prestigious individual award of the World Cup is fierce among the players of these four teams. This time, the competition for the player who scores more goals is going on at a closer distance than in previous World Cups.
Now, every goal scored in the remaining matches can move up and down the list of top scorers in the tournament. France's Kylian Mbappe has proven once again in this World Cup. He will be the biggest star of the next World Cup. Due to his fast pace, powerful shots and ability to perform well under pressure, he is ahead in the race for the top scorer.
He has scored 8 goals. Mbappe is tied with Argentine captain Lionel Messi. This veteran player has scored in all but one game for his team in this World Cup. He scored with a hat-trick at the start of the World Cup. He is the top scorer in World Cup history, with a total of 21 goals. Mbappe is second with 20 goals.
Two players from England are in the running for the top scorer. They are captain Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. Both have scored 6 goals each. Kane is scoring as expected for England, while Bellingham is one of the players in this World Cup who can be considered to be somewhat emerging. An even better performance can be expected in the next World Cup. Almost all of the goals England has scored in this World Cup so far are in the name of these two players.
The players of Spain, the fourth team that reached the semi-finals, are not in this race. The main reason for this is the style of play of the team. Spain emphasizes team play more and more players have scored goals for the team. This is also the specialty of Spanish football.
Meanwhile, Norway's Erling Haaland scored 7 goals. His challenge in the tournament is over. France's Ousmane Dembele has scored 5 goals and he also has the opportunity to be a somewhat high scorer. Similarly, there are 4 players who have scored 4 goals. One of them is Spain's Mikel Ayrizabal. At least he will have the opportunity to increase his personal goal tally.
