The teams employ different tactics, and individual technical skills have improved.

The real trouble is that Messi is just dragging Argentina, the other players are just like woods. I have always said, I fear this Cape Verde than Spain. Congratulations to Messi for his 20th world cup goal.

It means total goals in a single tournament, not consecutive matches with goals.

The woman beside her looks utterly disheartened—sitting together, the contrast is just devastating to one’s self-esteem.

This record is merely for show—it’s meaningless. In a week or two, we can write: “Mbappé is the first player to score 8+ goals in two World Cups.”

If you’re referring to the World Cup alone, finishing as runners-up in 2014 is already a tremendous achievement—reaching the final is never guaranteed, nor is winning it! In 2018, they faced France—a team arguably among the strongest in World Cup history. Their striker Olivier Giroud served as an exceptional target man, while Kylian Mbappé, a lightning-fast forward, was devastating on counterattacks. In midfield, N’Golo Kanté, Paul Pogba, and Antoine Griezmann were all at their absolute peak—simply outstanding! And their defense? No need for further explanation!!! Even their narrow 3–4 loss to France in 2018 was incredibly impressive! Then, in 2022, they won the tournament outright!!

One factor is the coach’s tactics; another is that greater ability entails greater responsibility—when younger, he was certainly much stronger than now, so he has more responsibilities. Of course, the team’s overall strength is also different.
