Appie Culé(@appiecule):Before the World Cup started, I kept doing the math, wondering how Messi could overtake Klose and become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history. He needed four goals, and with Mbappé in the race too, it felt like a huge challenge. All I wanted was to see him break Klose’s record. Then the tournament began… Messi broke Klose’s record in just two games and immediately started chasing even greater milestones: - Most direct free-kick goals in World Cup history. - Most goals scored from outside the box in World Cup history with six. - The first player ever to score in seven consecutive World Cup games. At this point, nothing surprises me anymore. It’s Messi.
