The Golden Boot odds seem to be changing every minute.
After his goal against Haiti on Friday, Vinícius Júnior became the latest superstar to throw his hat in the ring.
And after Lionel Messi's first career World Cup hat trick last Tuesday, Jonathan David replicated that performance with a hat trick of his own in Canada's 6-0 win over Qatar last Thursday.
David became the first Canadian man or woman to record a hat trick in a World Cup match.
So far, both Messi and David have three goals, while Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, Vinícius Jr., Mikel Oyarzabal and Kai Havertz headline the stars with two goals.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot race is already shaping up to be historic.

With his first career World Cup hat trick, 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.
Not to be outdone, Mbappé reminded everyone why he entered the tournament as the betting favorite.
The French superstar scored twice in his World Cup opener, as he became France's new all-time leader in goals with 58.
Haaland also added two goals in his World Cup debut.
Then, Kane got himself into the action with a brace of his own in England's 4-2 win over Croatia last Wednesday.
With his performance, Kane recorded his third career multi-goal game in a World Cup match, and tied Gary Lineker for the most goals in the World Cup by an England player (10).
Kane is now up to 81 goals for his international career, becoming the tenth man ever to score 80+ international goals, and just the fifth European to do so.
