Michael Olise sets the mark with 7 🅰️ssists – congrats, Michael! 👏

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Michael Olise, France's balletically brilliant footballer, is truly unique. Quick-witted and smart, the enigmatic player scored 127 on an IQ test in 2024. As for his football intelligence, it’s off the scale. https://t.co/kI5JPZKUpt

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

At 24 years old in his first World Cup, Michael Olise did what no other men's player has ever done ‼️

With seven assists, the Frenchman with flair passed the great Pelé for the most assists in a single World Cup 🇫🇷⭐

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Michael Olise has joined esteemed company in Miami.

He matches Pele's assist record from 1970 and the way this game is going, he might even break it.

France have been completely rejuvenated after the break.

Michael Olise becomes the first player to register SIX assists at a World Cup since Pele in 1970 🇫🇷💫

[Squawka @Squawka]

Most assists provided at a single World Cup tournament on record:

◎ 6 - Pele (1970)
◉ 6 - Michael Olise (2026)

Pele’s record has been equalled. 🤯

[CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ @CBSSportsGolazo]

3 - Bukayo Saka in 2026 became the first @England player on record (since 1966) to both score 3 goals and provide 3 assists at an edition of a major tournament (World Cup/EURO).

Trebles.

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Bukayo Saka became the 1st English player to score 3 goals and register 3 assists at a major tournament since records began 🤩

He played only 356 minutes... 😳

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

3 - Bukayo Saka is the second @England player to score a hat-trick in a FIFA World Cup knockout stage match after Sir Geoff Hurst in the 1966 final.

Delightful.

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

Chosen by the fans: Bukayo Saka, your @MichelobUltra Superior Player of the Match. 👑

#FIFAWorldCup #SuperiorPOTM

[Squawka @Squawka]

Bukayo Saka (5) has now scored more World Cup goals for England than David Beckham (3).

Doing the number 7 shirt proud. 👏

[DailyAFC @DailyAFC]

Noni Madueke has created the most chances AND big chances among attackers who haven’t registered an assist yet at the World Cup. [@WhoScored] 🤯

[England @England]

From Becks to Bukayo 🫡

England's No. 7️⃣s

[B/R Football @brfootball]

First men's World Cup in 28 years was an unforgettable run.

Thank you, Norway 🇳🇴❤️

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Only Michael Olise (5) has more assists than Martin Ødegaard (4) at the World Cup 🪄

[WhoScored @WhoScored]

Noni Madueke has created the most chances (9) and big chances (3) among attackers yet to register an assist at this World Cup. 🔎

[LiveScore @livescore]

Martin Ødegaard's World Cup ends with the record for most assists by an Arsenal player at a single tournament 🪄

Bukayo Saka still has the chance to catch him 👀

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Martin Odegaard was born six months after Norway's last appearance at the World Cup. He made his senior international debut at 15 in 2014, a year before leaving Stromsgodset for Real Madrid, and has been integral to their rise up FIFA's rankings. Now the Arsenal midfielder is pushing his national team into uncharted territory.

As @ArtdeRoche reports, there is a sense that the character Norway's captain is displaying at the tournament is the 'real' Odegaard.
