Expert Tips for World Cup Day 37 | July 17

Three men are in contention for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot, all of whom have been in the mix or have claimed the gong before.

England captain Harry Kane has work to do and he would need at least a brace against France to be in the mix.

However, old foes Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi will be battling it out in their respective games once again, as they look to add to their record of averaging better than a goal per game.

Lionel Messi

Golden Boot Winner (11/10)

It does feel as if Lionel Messi is only improving with age and his performances at this World Cup have been spectacular.

Messi continues to impact matches at the very highest level and his two assists against England in the semi-final only proved that.

He remains the man for the big occasion and he looks set to have a big impact against Spain in the World Cup final.

Goals and assists from Messi will not only help Argentina in their World Cup bid but will also give them a great chance of defending the World Cup trophy.

Kylian Mbappe

Golden Boot Winner (6/4)

France may still be reeling from their semi final defeat to Spain but Kylian Mbappe is firmly in the hunt for the Golden Boot.

He may have found no joy against the stringent Spanish defence but a chance to clinch another World Cup Golden Boot looms here.

This will be a good game against England for the bronze medal and if the Three Lions leave any gaps available, Mbappe will exploit them.

Harry Kane

Golden Boot Winner (66/1)

Having already won the World Cup Golden Boot in 2018, Harry Kane knows what it takes to win the gong.

However, the goals have dried up a touch for Kane, who hasn't scored since the last 16 tie with Mexico.

Two or more goals will propel him back into the mix here though and in what could be his last World Cup appearance, he will be desperate to make a significant mark.
