As is the case with every World Cup, the predictions are beginning to roll out as to who is going to be this year’s stand-out star, and from everything we can see thus far, it seems as though Mbappe might just have what it takes to become the face of Qatar 2022.

There are a plethora of factors that sets Mbappe apart from the rest of his peers, and as you are going to find out in this article, there are definitely more than a few hints pointing towards him being the top goal-scorer of the World Cup. Let’s jump straight into it.


Mbappe Is One Of The Best Players In The World

At this point, almost everyone knows just how good of a football player Mbappe is. Mbappe’s statistics are some of the best in the world, and while he might not have yet reached the levels of notoriety of the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, that’s not to say that he won’t in the future.

Mbappe is still extremely young, and because of this, he has yet to develop the reputation that is deserving of a player of his calibre. This is something that drives die-hard football fans crazy – it can be incredibly frustrating when talented players do not get the recognition they deserve.

This is so much the case that you might not even be aware of who Mbappe is if you are not a dedicated football fan – his name has yet to reach the masses. However, this matters very little when it comes to the question of whether or not Mbappe will end up winning the golden boot; we can rest assured knowing that Mbappe is not going to let his notoriety hold him back.

Whether you are aware of it or not, Mbappe is one of the best football players in the world right now, and he has a much better chance than most of receiving the honour of the golden boot.

He’s Definitely One Of The Top Candidates

While Mbappe is most definitely talented in all facets of football, there is one where he excels; striking. Mbappe’s striking power goes unmatched, and if he is able to bring out his full potential in every game he plays, then there would be very little doubt; he would win the World Cup golden boot.

Don’t get us wrong; there are certainly a plethora of worthy candidates out there that could also challenge Mbappe’s claim to the golden boot, and by no means are we saying that Mbappe is the only one who stands a real chance.

Just take a look at the statistics from sports betting in SA – there is an endless roster of players who people believe could win the golden boot, and for all intents and purposes, there is an endless number of people who could challenge Mbappe.

In spite of this, Mbappe still has a much better chance than most of claiming the golden boot, and he is definitely one of the top candidates. The potential is undeniably there – it just depends on whether or not Mbappe is going to be able to showcase his true abilities under all of the pressure and constraints.

Competition Is Going To Be At An All-Time High

If you have been keeping up with football news recently, you will know that the current World Cup is looking extremely competitive. As we mentioned previously, Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the top candidates to win the boot, but that’s not to say things are going to be easy for him.

Putting aside the fact that Mbappe could be taken out of the tournament altogether if his team experiences an early defeat, the calibre of players he is going to come up against is like nothing he has experienced before, and who knows how he is going to handle coming face-to-face with some of the best players in the world. The competition really is that ruthless this year.

So, what do you think is going to come of Mbappe in the upcoming World Cup? Do you think he will take the golden boot with ease like some people are predicting, or do you think that the competition is just too tight to be able to tell right now?

Whatever your opinion may be; there is no doubt that Mbappe has the potential to be a key player in Qatar. If he is able to perform at the top of his game, then it would not come as a surprise to see him being the top goal-scorer. It’s going to be a good one.
