## Resource

Folarin Balogun exploded onto the World Cup stage with two goals in a 4-1 win over Paraguay, proving his AS Monaco fire isn’t just hype—he’s now tied for second in the Golden Boot race alongside legends like Messi. With 19 goals and 5 assists this season and a 11-game scoring streak, Balogun already surpassed the U.S.’s last World Cup goal milestone from 1930. If he keeps going, he could become the first U.S. player to win the Golden Boot—and potentially break Landon Donovan’s all-time U.S. World Cup scoring record in his debut tournament.
