Bidding to reach a third successive World Cup final, France have looked in ominous form, putting three past Senegal and Iraq. Real Madrid’s Mbappe has been the outstanding performer so far, scoring four goals.
However, he’s not the only superstar striker looking to add to his tally in the wider Boston area. Haaland has also struck four times in two games, helping Norway beat Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-2. They've also got the coolest celebration, courtesy of the Viking Row.
Both players will want to add to their totals as they chase the Golden Boot.

Norway vs France: World Cup 2026 Preview
Making their first World Cup appearance in 28 years, Norway got off to the perfect start as they overcame a spirited Iraq in their opener 4-1. Haaland grabbed the headlines with two well-taken goals.
The Manchester City forward added another two – that's 59 in 52 caps – against Senegal as Norway demonstrated their attacking prowess. However, it was not entirely plain sailing against The Lions of Teranga, with Ismaila Sarr scoring two and then heading over from close range in the final seconds of the game.
Stale Solbakken will need Kristoffer Ajer and Torbjorn Heggem to be on high alert against a devastating France front four, but may well choose attack as the best form of defence. Haaland has already shown that he is thriving under the weight of expectation.
France, meanwhile, have been electric. Mbappe – two goals shy of Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup record of 18 – has bagged a brace in both games, while Michael Olise has resembled every inch the smooth creator that is interesting Real Madrid this summer.
Ousmane Dembele scored his first major tournament goal in the most recent 3-0 victory over Iraq and with Desire Doue and Bradley Barcola also in the squad, Didier Deschamps has a surfeit of attacking riches up his sleeve.
He may give Rayan Cherki – yep, another luxuriously gifted playmaker – a runout here to keep his side on its toes.
