The FIFA World Cup 2026 is already witnessing records tumble and several more appear destined to fall. Lionel Messi equalled Miroslav Klose’s all-time World Cup scoring record of 16 goals and could soon move clear. Harry Kane matched Gary Lineker’s England World Cup tally of 10 goals, while Kylian Mbappe eyes an unprecedented second Golden Boot. Cristiano Ronaldo became the oldest outfield player to start a World Cup and could set a record by scoring in six editions. Erling Haaland, Vozinha and coach Didier Deschamps are also closing in on major milestones as the tournament continues. (PC: Getty Images & psgtalk)
