In my opinion that Mbappé is a king and is new generation. I have never watched Football world cup but in 2022 it made me very excited. And I am also very excited to see that what will happen in 2026 when USA, Canada will host woord cup. And also there are some players like Morocco Goal keeper, he has done great job cause he made effort for moroco team.

Most of Mbappe's goals came against weak teams. Two of his goals came against Poland, two against Danmark, and one against Australia. And in the final, although he scored one goal by himself the other two came from penalty kicks. And during the initial 80 minutes his performance was pathetic (although he made up for that in the next 15 minutes of regular play and 30 minutes of extra time). I thought that although he received the golden boot, there was nothing special in his performance this time. For comparison, I would rate Julián Álvarez ahead of him.

Yeah, it's a problem with golden boot reward because it is not awarded to the best offensive player, but to a player that scores the most goals during the World Cup. There probably are better offensive players than Mbappe, but rules are rules.

We could also argue that Argentinian goalkeeper didn't deserve a golden glove. Look at this comparison between Martinez and Livakovic:

So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?

By all accounts France's goalkeeper led the way but all statistics failed when Argentina goalkeeper Martinez saved Randal Kolo's powerful shot towards the post in the 120th minute. It means that if this goal could have been scored then France would have won the match outright. But Martinez skillfully parried the shot to lead to the game's trybreaker and eventually Argentina won the final thanks to Martinez's skill alone.

This was the only victory FIFA decided the Golden Globes deserved for Martinez.

I didn't say that France goalie should have won the award. Livakovic is Croatia national team's goalie. While I agree that Martinez led his team to become the World Cup winner, but I still think that Livakovic had more great saves than Martinez. I know that FIFA often takes into consideration only the last game so I'm not surprised that they gave the reward to Martinez.
