Two things have undoubtedly been true this summer: The superstars are shining, and the Golden Boot odds seem to be changing every minute. After his 29th minute goal against Cape Verde, Lionel Messi has now scored in eight consecutive World Cup matches, extending his own record for the longest streak ever. Messi is now up to 20 career World Cup goals, extending his record for the most by any man or woman in World Cup history. He has now scored seven of Argentina’s 11 goals this tournament so far, and became the first player since the 1960s to score in five straight knockout stage games. Meanwhile, after recording his second brace of the tournament in France’s Round of 32 win over Sweden, Kylian Mbappé is up to 18 career World Cup goals, two shy of tying Lionel Messi for the most in World Cup history. Mbappé is now also up to 10 knockout stage goals, extending his record for the most in World Cup history. With Messi now at seven goals, and Mbappé at six, the Golden Boot race is becoming one of the defining storylines of the tournament and is shaping up to be one of the most historic in World Cup history, as both generational stars continue chasing records.

Kane Rising: Kane’s brace on Wednesday against DR Congo pushed England into the Round of 16, giving it a 2-1 win. Kane is now up to 13 goals, tied with Just Fontaine for the sixth-most of any man in World Cup history. He also became the first English player to score twice in a World Cup knockout match since Gary Lineker vs. Cameroon in 1990. History Made: With his hat trick against Algeria, 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. In Argentina’s second game against Austria, Messi scored twice to put some space between himself and Klose. Then, 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. Now, after his goal against Cape Verde, Messi has scored in every game so far this World Cup. Mbappé, with his offensive performance so far this tournament, now has 18 career World Cup goals, passing Klose as the second-most in men’s World Cup history. We are more than likely to see this record go back and forth the rest of the summer.
