The 2026 World Cup has reached 100 goals faster than any tournament since 1958, hitting the milestone in just its 33rd game. This is quicker than recent tournaments, with the Adidas 'Trionda' ball and its tricky flight possibly a factor catching goalkeepers out. Many big-name players like Messi and Haaland are also performing strongly, adding to the high scoring rate.
