Messi, Mbappé, Haaland Make Impact in Round One

The 2026 FIFA World Cup showcased the brilliance of some of football's biggest stars. Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in Argentina's opening match, bringing his total goals in World Cup history to 16—tied for the highest goal tally ever—at the age of 39, reaffirming his continued impact. He has previously won the World Cup. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé contributed two goals to France’s victory, elevating his total to 58 goals, making him France's all-time top scorer at just 27 years old, as he strives to cement his place among the greatest goal scorers in the tournament's history. On the other hand, Norwegian star Erling Haaland made his World Cup debut, scoring two goals in Norway’s win over Iraq, marking a significant achievement after a nearly three-decade absence of Norway from the tournament. The trio symbolizes a new and different era in the history of the competition.
