The FIFA World Cup's Golden Age of Scoring: A Revolution in Progress? The 2026 FIFA World Cup has shattered records with an unprecedented number of goals scored across all matches.
Former US Women's National Team star Tobin Heath believes this surge in scoring is a natural evolution of the game, rather than a detractor from its overall quality.
Heath's perspective on this trend is informed by her experience as a key member of her country's 2015 and 2019 World Cup winning teams and her role as an analyst for FIFA's Technical Study Group.
