YOUNGEST GOALSCORERS IN FIFA WORLD CUP HISTORY

Some of football's biggest names announced themselves on the world's biggest stage at a very young age.

Here's how the top 10 currently stand:

1. Pelé (Brazil) – 17 years, 239 days (1958)

2. Manuel Rosas (Mexico) – 18 years, 93 days (1930)

3. Gavi (Spain) – 18 years, 110 days (2022)

4. Souleymane Mbaye (Senegal) – 18 years, 143 days (2026)

5. Michael Owen (England) – 18 years, 190 days (1998)

6. Nicolae Kovács (Romania) – 18 years, 197 days (1930)

7. Dmitri Sychev (Russia) – 18 years, 231 days (2002)

8. Lamine Yamal (Spain) – 18 years, 343 days (2026)

9. Lionel Messi (Argentina) – 18 years, 357 days (2006)

10. Cavan Green (United States) – 19 years, 25 days (2026)

What's remarkable is that Pelé's record has stood for 68 years and counting.

Also interesting to note that Spain now have two players on the all time top 10 list: Gavi and Lamine Yamal.

Do you think anyone will ever break Pelé's record?

And which player on this list went on to have the greatest international career?

I've noticed that media are trying everything to hype the boy Yamal as if he's the best we've ever seen. Boy is good, but he is still far away from being the best.

Ronaldo will not score a single goal. He should retire

Yesterday, Mikel Oyarzabal was the best player on the field, he scored 2 goals and made one assist, yet the whole media is talking about Yamal. This hype won't take him anywhere.

Mountbatten:
He's finished, selfish and an impediment to Portugal's chances of success.

GrammarNazi1:
Even if Yamal wins the Ballon d'Or 10 times (though this is not likely going to happen), he won't still be t[b]he best player in history[/b].

LEXYLOV:
Pray that africa as a continent produce a player that will even half his record and success in football ⚽ genre. Stop hating he's not the reason for your current situation

Don't you guys ever get tired? You do the same for Messi for two decades, and you doing the same to Yamal.
