He Women’s World Cup are one day away from closing their group stage and the two biggest upsets so far could lead to a new record for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Olympic champions, Canadaand another of the favorite maxims, Brazilthey were out in the group stage and its two greatest figures, Christine Sinclair y Marta, they could not score in all three games, so they could not reach six World Cups by scoring. That opens the door to Cristiano Ronaldo is the first person to do so in a couple of summers in the United States, Mexico or Canada.
CR7 is the only man who has scored in five editions of the World Cup. He accumulates 8 goals in 22 World Cup matches. In four he scored only one goal, with his greatest harvest the four in Russia 2018and tied the record of the Canadian and the Brazilian at scoring a penalty in Qatar against Ghana.
Sinclair and Marta’s harvest is much greater. The Canadian, the top scorer in history at national team level, with 190has 10 goals in the World Cups: 3 in 2003, 3 in 2007, 1 in 2011, 2 in 2015 and 1 in 2019. He was able to get the sixth in his first game in the debut against Nigeria, but missed a penalty that, if he had succeeded, he would have put Canada into the round of 16.
Marta was the first to score in five World Cups and is the top scorer in the World Cup, with 17, two more than Ronaldo Nazario. He scored 3 in 2003, 7 in 2007, 4 in 2011, 1 in 2015 and 2 in 2019. In 2023, he did not start his first two games. He started against Jamaica, but the Reggae Girlz they did not allow a goal in 270 minutes in the group stage and finished with the sixth appearance in the World Cups.
That opens the door for CR7 to do the unprecedented 6 of 6. After Qatar, he continues with Portugal, although he would arrive at the North American fair at over 40 years of age and did not start the last two games in the last World Cup.
