World Cup highlights: Fontaine's 1958 goal record and 2026 tournament memes

French striker Just Fontaine remains the only player to score 13 goals in a single World Cup edition, a record set at the 1958 tournament in Sweden. Born in Marrakesh when it was a French protectorate, Fontaine achieved the Golden Boot in his sole World Cup appearance before retiring early due to injuries.

During the ongoing 2026 World Cup, social media has been dominated by a wave of memes. Fans have turned moments such as Yamal’s rise, the Endrick‑Ancelotti joke, the "ArgenFIFA" tag, Haaland and Vini Jr. recreating a scene from "White Chicks", Jordan Henderson’s injury, and Lucas Paquetá’s "bowling‑ball" fall into viral content, generating millions of views and attracting brand participation across platforms.
