<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More goals than ever before are guaranteed. The 23rd FIFA World Cup\u2122, indeed, will feature 40 more matches than any previous edition. One thing that\u2019s far from a given is which player will score more times than any other. FIFA looks at the 10 men with the shortest odds to seize the adidas Golden Boot.<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbappe
\nFrance
\n56 goals in 98 internationals
\n12 goals in 14 World Cup games
\nGroup I opponents: Senegal, Iraq, Norway
\nFIFA World Cup\u2122 Fantasy price: $10.5m<\/p>\n
If Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud were 30 and 36 respectively when they became France\u2019s all-time leading marksman, Mbappe is set to do it at 27. As well as netting 39 times in his last 49 outings for Les Bleus, the electric attacker averaged almost a goal per game at Paris Saint-Germain and is doing the same at Real Madrid. Back-to-back World Cup Golden Boots, with elite creators such as Rayan Cherki, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Michael Olise to feed him, is within Mbappe\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane
\nEngland
\n79 goals in 113 internationals
\n8 goals in 11 World Cup games
\nGroup L opponents: Croatia, Ghana, Panama
\nFIFA World Cup\u2122 Fantasy price: $10.5m<\/p>\n
Harry Kane | Golden Boot Award | 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia\u2122
\nThe adidas Golden Boot was first awarded to the top goalscorer of the tournament in 1982 under the name Golden Shoe. It was renamed Golden Boot in 2010. Runners-up are awarded the adidas Silver Boot and adidas Bronze Boot awards respectively.
\nCould Kane become the first man in history to win the Golden Boot twice? His argument is compelling. The 32-year-old has averaged more than a goal per Bundesliga game since joining Bayern Munich in 2023, and is fresh from his fifth calendar year from the last nine in which he\u2019s scored at least as many times as he\u2019s played England matches. Kane will also benefit from being supplied bullets by the likes of Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka.<\/p>\n
