Players are trying everything they can to get their names on the scoresheet during the FIFA World Cup 2022. While Enner Valencia has three goals, several other players, including Bukayo Saka, Ferran Torres, and Lionel Messi, are close behind with two goals apiece in the hunt for the Golden Boot. The tournament has already seen a number of incredible goals, including Messi’s long-range power drive against Mexico and Richarlison’s acrobatic kick against Serbia.

Enthusiasm always rises when an early objective is accomplished. The game becomes more competitive and the underperforming side plays harder as a result. Alphonso Davies scores a header against Croatia in the opening 68 seconds of the FIFA World Cup 2022, making it the fastest goal ever scored in shopping mode thus far. Even so, it wouldn’t be quick enough to be listed among the top ten quickest World Cup goals ever. There are more goals on the list of the fastest goals ever scored at a World Cup.

BIZARRE que le @FCMetz , qui ne reconnait ni le CAM (1919/1932) ni le FV Metz (1940/1944) mette Emile Veinante dans le choix des attaquants alors qu’il a joué à Metz entre 1924 et 1928 et 1940 et 1942. Histoire floue et à géométrie variable encore une fois, on est habitué. pic.twitter.com/vonXFdZAhH
