2026, the World Cup of stars? 🌟 | OneFootball

The ultimate edition?

What if we are witnessing the start of THE World Cup of the century?

The reason? All the global superstars in America have made a successful start and are delivering on expectations. A rare and wonderful thing to witness as a football fan!

Lionel Messi has scored five goals in two matches; Kylian Mbappé is already on four, just like Vinicius Junior and Erling Haaland; Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace and is back, as he shouted at the end of the match against Uzbekistan.

For now, this World Cup seems to be the ultimate stage for long-distance clashes between legends. 

As if to finally close the story between Messi and CR7; as if it were the Everest of the Mbappé vs Haaland duel.

Now it’s time for the knockout matches! Will these stars still be there when it matters?
