The Golden Boot race has been one of the best parts of this World Cup. The superstars have dominated from the start, and it has made for a competitive race to be the top scorer at the tournament.Entering the final eight, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland were the top four scorers in the tournament, and all appeared to have a shot to win the Golden Boot. They had all been scoring at absurd clips, and only Haaland’s Norway entered the round as an underdog.In the quarterfinals, Mbappé was the only one to score. The French star had a penalty saved in the first half against Morocco, but still finished with the game-winning goal. He is now tied with Messi atop the scoring chart with eight goals.After each round of matches, Messi had been all alone in front after starting the tournament with his first World Cup hat trick. Now, Mbappé technically leads because he has three assists to Messi’s two. Messi got an assist in the 3-1 win against Switzerland, but did not score.Mbappé is now a minus-odds favorite across the board. He is currently listed at -140 to win the Golden Boot on FanDuel and -120 on DraftKings and BetMGM. Messi’s odds range between +140 and +150. It’s still very close, but Mbappé has the edge.
