Who is going to win the golden boot by speculation

[riich]

Based on the tournament so far, Kylian Mbappé is the leading candidate to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot. He currently leads the scoring charts with 8 goals, while Lionel Messi is also on 8 goals. Harry Kane is close behind with 6 goals. �

If I had to speculate before the semi-finals:
Kylian Mbappé (France) ⭐ Favorite
Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Harry Kane (England)
Mbappé has a strong chance because France are still in the tournament, and he has at least one or two matches left (the semi-final and either the final or third-place playoff), giving him more opportunities to score. �

Of course, it's still open—one outstanding performance in the remaining matches could change the race completely.
