With the most famous football saying “They think it’s all over….It is Now” we come to a close on the 23rd World Cup tournament from joint co-hosts Canada/Mexico/USA and start to think about what if? We started off this World Cup with our joint third best number of entries in our tenth World Cup Golden Goals 2026 and we have ended up with a total of sixteen winners.
Congratulations to DANNY HARRINGTON on winning our tenth World Cup with his winning combination of Argentina (19) England (20) France (20) Spain (14) picking up a grand total of 73 goals.
We have now entered Danny’s name into the record book with a total of 73 goals, he has now finished top in our World Cup Champions League, after smashing my record (Steve Reeve) of 54 from Brazil 2014.
So who were the best teams that we had in the 2026 World Cup after all of the games played.
FRANCE (20) ENGLAND (20) ARGENTINA (19) SPAIN (14) total of 73 goals
GERMANY held the current record for the highest score, with that 7-1 win over Curacao in Group E in their opening game.
SCOTLAND from Group C were our worst team, as they have only picked up one goal in all of their first round games.
The fastest goal has been scored by Matías Galarza for Paraguay in Group C after they won 1-0 against Turkey in their second game in the first round. It took just 64 seconds (1 minute and 4 seconds)
Top goal scorers in the World Cup 2026 “Golden Boot” goes to France’s Kylian Mbappe with a total of 10 goals. In second place we have Argentina’s Lionel Messi, with 8 goals. In third place we have England’s Jude Bellingham and Norway’s Erling Haaland both on 7 goals, In fourth place we have France O. Dembélé and Harry Kane both with 6 goals each. In fifth place with 5 goals we have Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal.
