#广场预测世界杯赢40000U World Cup Top Scorer Prediction

On Saturday, fans who stayed up until 3 AM to watch the game eagerly awaited the "World's Best Striker" showdown between Mbappé and Haaland. Surprisingly: Norway's coach gave up on competing for first place in the group, kept Haaland on the bench to rest, and didn't send him onto the field until the final whistle blew. Football fans around the world were deeply disappointed.
That's how group stage works; every coach is calculating their own cards. France has a deep squad, so fielding their starters doesn't affect the knockout stage lineup. Norway has a thin squad, so they must ensure their key players rest. Thus, the "World's Best Striker" showdown fell through.
Even more surprising: Despite France fielding all their starters, Mbappé was not among the goal scorers. Dembélé, who had been relatively low-key in the first two rounds, actually scored a hat-trick.
All told, Dembélé has scored 4 goals in this World Cup, tied for second place with Mbappé, Haaland, and Vinícius, trailing only Messi with 5 goals. The total goals in this World Cup have set a new historical high. One important reason is the expansion to 48 teams. With more weak teams, goals are relatively more frequent.
There is one suspense in this World Cup: Who will become the top scorer? From the current situation, Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, Vinícius, and Kahn all have a chance. Argentina, France, England, and Brazil are all traditional powerhouses and are likely to go further in the knockout stage. Norway is relatively weaker; although Haaland has outstanding individual ability, it is somewhat difficult for him to become the top scorer.
Some say the World Cup truly begins with the knockout stage, and that’s not false at all. Once in the knockout stage, teams’ defensive intensity will increase by a notch, and goals will become increasingly difficult. Messi is already 39 years old, the oldest among the five mentioned players, and both stamina and consistency are issues. But we must pay attention to Argentina's schedule: In the third round of the group stage they face Jordan, in the Round of 32 they will face Cape Verde, in the Round of 16 they may face Egypt, and in the quarterfinals they may face Australia.
Is there a high probability that Messi and Argentina can set new records? At least judging by the schedule and opponents, Messi is the most likely person to top the scoring chart. The probability of 8-10 goals is very high.
