Kylian Mbappe is an easy pick for me :smile:

Mbappe is already making a strong case to win the Golden Boot and Golden Ball with Five goals and Two assists already as France finished top of their group and have also progressed to the Quarterfinals.

He picked up from where he left off in 2018 and will hope to lead his side to glory again.

Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo has been a revelation, scoring in all three of their group games.

Ramos looks promising :portugal::fire:

  • Only Kylian MbappĂ© (7) and Bruno Fernandes (5) have been directly involved more goals at the 2022 World Cup than Gonçalo Ramos (4).

He’s only played 84 minutes. :sweat_smile:

  • Gonçalo Ramos has become the first player to score a hat-trick in a FIFAWorldCup knockout stage match since 1990, when Tomas Skuhravy scored three goals in Czechoslovakia’s 4–1 Round of 16 win over Costa Rica.
    History-maker. :raised_hands:
