Mbappé Standalone Kingship as All-Time World Cup Top Scorer
History has rewritten itself on football's grandest stage. In a breathtaking individual tournament run, France’s Kylian Mbappé has officially become the highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.
By finding the back of the net twice in France's recent outing against England, Mbappé took his career World Cup tally to an unprecedented 22 goals. This monumental achievement pushes him past Argentina's legendary Lionel Messi, who had briefly claimed the crown earlier in the 2026 tournament to reach 21 total goals.
The Great Ascent: All-Time World Cup Top Scorers
The race at the top of soccer history has reached its boiling point. Here is how the historic leaderboard looks following Mbappé's masterclass:
1. Kylian Mbappé 🇫🇷 (France) — 22 Goals| 22 Matches Played
2. Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 (Argentina) — 21 Goals | 33 Matches Played
3. Miroslav Klose 🇩🇪 (Germany) — 16 Goals | 24 Matches Played
4. Ronaldo 🇧🇷Brazil) — 15 Goals | 19 Matches Played
5. Gerd Müller 🇩🇪(West Germany) — 14 Goals| 13 Matches Played
### ⚡ Breaking Down the Numbers: Mbappé vs. Messi
The speed with which the 27-year-old French captain has dismantled this record is nothing short of terrifying for global defenses.
* **Efficiency Extraordinaire:** Mbappé reached his **22-goal milestone** in exactly **22 World Cup appearances**, maintaining a flawless 1.0 goal-per-game ratio on the biggest stage.
* **The Longevity Contrast:** In comparison, Lionel Messi scored his 21st World Cup goal in his 31st appearance for Argentina at 39 years old. Mbappé has bypassed that mountain nearly a decade younger than his former PSG teammate.
* **Tournament Breakdown:** Mbappé's legacy features 4 goals in Russia 2018, an outstanding 8 goals in Qatar 2022, and another blistering 10 goals over the course of the 2026 campaign to fully claim the throne.
While Messi’s multi-generational brilliance and magical tournament moments will remain etched in football folklore forever, the mantle of the World Cup's ultimate marksman has unequivocally shifted to Kylian Mbappé. At just 27, he isn't just chasing history—he's pulling completely out of sight.

Baddestguyp:
The Tybur family and the first king of the walls, Karl Fritz (later Reiss) were the biggest frauds and hypocrites...
Karl Fritz with his sacrificed his own people and wiped their memories...

The Tybur lived in glamor as heroes despite being Eldians by sacrificing their own people.

But Eren kinda played into Willy Tybur's hands. By attacking during the speech, he made Willy Tybur's speech more convincing since he attacked and killed him in front of global delegates, convincing the world that Paradis must be wiped out immediately...

Remember he could see the future, he probably saw no future his friends will be alive without the rumbling

DieRich5:
Book of Exodus. God strikes down every firstborn male child—and firstborn livestock—in Egypt as punishment for the Pharaoh refusing to free the Israelites.

Note: pls I don’t really mean anything with this


How do you view this? baddestguyp and Illusioneffect

Imagine how many first born in a country?

This is one of the reasons the government or leadership matters the most because somethings and actions can be avoided.

Imagine Nigeria govt make US start a war with us and the USA start bombin Nigeria and citizens is involved…… is USA Leader wrong?

Depends on the scale of the war, if the Nigerian government killed us citizens first then it's justifiable

abduleez1:
Lmao..... Like say I don see premonition know wetin go happen. 😭😭😭

Immediately I saw that trailer, na MID MID MID dey shine for my head. Lol, and I'm not shy and afraid of turning away from the bandwagon hype train.

Oya predict the Odyssey box office

Illusioneffect:
Look, I totally get why people condemn Eren—what he did is genuinely horrific. But calling him a straightforward villain or just a 'cautionary tale' kind of misses the entire point of the show's tragedy.
Eren didn't start the fire; he was born into a world that was already burning him alive. For his entire life, Paradis was treated like a cage, and the second they peeked outside, they realized the entire global population wanted them wiped off the face of the earth.
Think about the options he actually had:
The world refused to even talk to them.
The 50-year plan? It meant sacrificing Historia, breeding her kids like cattle, and just kicking the war down the road for the next generation to deal with.
Eren didn't propagate a cycle of violence; he was backed into a corner by a cycle that had been spinning for thousands of years. And the ultimate tragedy is that Eren wasn't even truly free to choose. He was a literal slave to the concept of freedom itself. The Attack Titan's entire nature is to relentlessly push forward, and Eren was so consumed by this singular drive that he couldn't stop, even when it meant destroying his own humanity. Freedom was the only thing he ever wanted, but it became his own personal prison.
When the choice is 'let everyone you love be systematically slaughtered' or 'destroy the people trying to kill you,' normal morality completely breaks down. He’s not a monster who wanted to conquer the world. He’s a deeply traumatized kid who was given the power of a god, trapped by a destiny he couldn't escape, and forced to choose between his people or the world that hated them. It's messed up, but in a world that cruel, survival is going to win every single time.

Didn't know I could even type all this about AOT, shows how great this show is mahnn 😪😭

Baddestguyp:
Eren's actions were not justifiable...
His actions propagated the cycle of violence...
His actions were even worse than those before him...

He is a cautionary tale...

DieRich5:
He over did it? Nah…

Do you know how many people died in his side? At least he only killed few and killed himself.

80% of the world population died, kids and animals who had nothing to do with it and some countries who even had no hand in the destruction of Paradis Island

The true villain is King Fritz

pu7pl3:
Eren is never the Villain in my eyes

DieRich5:
people calling him a villain are unserious people

I bet almost everyone here will do same act.

Ummm, he over did it in my opinion, justifiable but irredeemable

IMEI:
One of the most morally grey characters ever

Even if you oppose him, you must concede somethings to him

Just a crazy turn of events

Wait what?!

iamoyindamola:
..

Costume looks over done and weird.

oyaskii:
lol yeah...SJ was my main draw to it, but eventually just decided against seeing it...btw why did you scroll up to a post from last year? fgs😭🥲

Actually, someone mentioned something I said then 😂 and I just stumbled upon your comment close to it

oyaskii:
Errr...Nope 👀

Knew it 🤣🤣 after praising the trailer

armadeo:
I no kuku put mouth.

Chris Nolan do rubbish ke. Person when dey build to spec. I knew it would blow up even with all the backlash. The guy sef no answer anybody.

God tier moves.

Na to wait the shores of tortuga as we usually do and let the tides bring in what we want.

This is a perfect example of the life of a grifter. Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker will absolutely enjoy this movie since the people they are angry about only appear for 5 minutes or less. This is Lord of the Rings-esque the type of movies they like. But they're not allowed too like it or they'll lose money and followers

SOZINN:
So Christopher Nolan doesn't miss? WTF man.

People are about to review bomb this movie which would have nothing to do with the quality of the movie but then just trying to be 'anti-woke' watch how it falls especially the audience reaction

SPOILER REVIEW OF THE ODYSSEY! SKIP AND CLOSE YOUR EYES
Christopher Nolan finally made a horror movie, and he just happened to disguise it as a Greek epic.

I went in expecting Interstellar with triremes, but what I got was straight-up nightmare fuel. Nolan’s take on the Cyclops cave is legitimately terrifying—the creature design is what you’d imagine lives under your bed, and the sound design is jarring. When that thing screams, it’s ten times louder than anything else in the movie, making it feel like a literal panic attack. Even the Circe sequence is scary as hell because Nolan treats magic as a dangerous, existential crisis rather than some whimsical fantasy trope.
- The Cast: Matt Damon actually clocks into work here, but John Leguizamo is the massive surprise standout in a role way bigger than the trailers suggested.

Robert Pattinson plays a character you just want to smack, and he absolutely owns it.
- The Cameo Trap: Don't let the posters fool you. Mia Goth is in this for maybe 60 seconds, and Lupita Nyong’o (Helen of Troy) only shows up for about five minutes in fragmented flashbacks.
- The "Let's Go" Moment: That line from the trailer that sounded like a TikToker? Nolan was basically trolling us. In context, the scene plays out completely differently and actually works.
- The Dog Scene: Huge warning for dog lovers—Nolan doesn't shy away from the brutal reality of the time, and there’s a scene involving cruelty to dogs that is genuinely rough to watch.
- The Ending: The first two hours feel a bit disjointed and slow, but the final 45 minutes are the "key to the map." It’s a massive emotional payoff about family and the scars of war that had me holding back tears

It’s dark, high-contrast, and feels physical rather than like a green-screen haze. If you want a grounded, "awesometacular" drama that doubles as a horror flick, this is it.

Odyssey is AWESOMETACULAR!

The fact people really thought Nolan would make a bad movie

oyaskii:
lol when you stuck with a problem, your brain just starts spilling out solutions, both gibberish ones and good ones, and you can make sense of any.. currently in that boat 😩.

I'm thinking, why doesn't Cinemas, offer digital services, like film house doing a simu release of films online and at site, and it hits me, that's what SVOD already do and there wouldn't be the point 😕

I would really love to see "The Odyssey" (2026) tomorrow, which is looking like, is gonna be one of the biggest cinematic events this year but i am currently stuck in a town where the lastest screening, are films from like a year ago! 😩.

I hate, how our film culture is so mute here, outside the big 3 states and some mini states, the cinema game is almost at ground zero. People in Jigawa and Ebonyi, will get to hear about "The Odyssey" around November or so, when it drops on VOD fgs.

I am too wild of cinephile at heart to be living in this hell hole 😔

This is actually so sad, you might be shocked but even in the US, there are particular places you can't even watch it yet. i actually thought you were in lagos

oyaskii:
I can't explain it, but this trailer doesn't even reveal anything new or groundbreaking that we haven't seen in the universe before but it still has this insane aura of a mega blockbuster fgs.

Naah, they got me...i am so so seated! 😩😩

did you watch the movie

Illusioneffect:
The Odyssey - 1000/10 (the embargo has been lifted)
This is probably the most epic story I have ever watched and probably anyone here will ever watched!!! This is just an idea of what I felt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkUuA7CNiI4?si=MSkH5hiz6No0_p3M

A cinematic masterpiece by all standpoints. Anyone who comes to this movie with any complaints is being bias or trying to trend or maybe decided to hate on it before even watching it. This is a 3 hour movie - the casting choices like I said before are off but movies make bad casting choices every time, it can't be perfect - these castings are literally only 5 minutes out of a 3 hour movie.
I'm not a shoes and sandals person but this is the most epic a film can be. It's just sad you all in Nigeria can't view it on a 70mm iMax screen 😭😩

BeLookingIDIOT:
Only Avatar would make a billion here

😂😂😂Chai

abduleez1:
$1.5bn?? I highly doubt that. At best a little over a billion. They said multiple billions bro... That's about $2bn+ which I think is impossible even for MJ.

Bohemian Rhapsody making over $900mn in 2018 is different from the theatrical landscape of 2024 bro. People ain't that enthusiastic about the cinematic experience now with economic downturn everywhere.


I'm also doubting the studio Lionsgate capability to market the movie well. They've never had a billion dollar movie in their history.

Things might change later on, but for now I'm highly skeptical about this project regardless of who MJ was. The cast for the role will be hugely important for getting good numbers.

Looks like you were right the first time. 2024😭😂

Beorn:
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂


I stopped at Episode 1. Couldn't even get to episode 2. The world is definitely ending.

You watched just an episode and you believe it's ass😏 it's one of the best shows I've watched this year

BlackManta:
Season 3 should've been the final one.
But HBO have managed to stretch it to four seasons because....WHY NOT?

It's their biggest show and it gets tons of views.

Looks like you know nothing about the source material. E3 was great too, don't know what you guys are talking about

samistry:
Wetin dey happen?

They're probably adding stuff she doesn't want to see in the movie, probably woke shit

samistry:
Lupita is fine but they didn't even glam her up so we can buy her as Helen of Troy. Na who 1000 shops burn over be this?
Elliot page na woman, no matter how many testosterone e take.

She's not really playing Helen of Troy, she only appears for just a few minutes

phr0nesis:
I believe the casting issue isn't that prominent in the movie. Helen of Troy will only appear in the "Trojan War" phase of the movie, and Elliot Page isn't playing Achilles as earlier speculated

It's just a trend, hating trend - racist people just like to hate on Elliot page and black people

oyaskii:
I dey wait this review, because I've got a bad feeling, there isn't this much negativity around a CN movie since him and WB had a spat out over "Tenet"...deary deary me 😩😩

Oh oh, although sandals and shield stories are not my thing, the movie is one of the best movies of all time and Nolan's best work yet.
The controversy is in a bubble

Just watched the Odyssey 🙃 10/10 I'll drop a review soon

I'm trying to watch other shows but attack on titans keep coming up in my head 😭 I'm probably rewatching soon
