Predict which of the two players will record more goal contributions (goals + assists) during the FIFA World Cup 2026.

This market asks which player—Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo—will register a higher total of goal contributions (goals + assists) across all matches they play in the FIFA World Cup 2026. A goal contribution counts when the player scores or is credited with an assist in a match. Only contributions made during official World Cup tournament matches (group stage through final) are counted. If both players record exactly the same number of total contributions, the market settles as a draw/tie.

- **Measure:** Sum of goals + assists for each player during World Cup 2026 matches.

- **Eligible matches:** All official FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament matches (group + knockout). Warm-up/friendly matches or qualifiers do not count.

- **Player identification:** The market uses the official match statistics published by FIFA (or the designated data provider) to determine goals and assists.

- **Ties:** If both players finish with the same total, the market resolves as a tie.

- **Settlement data:** Final settlement will use the official, final statistics posted by FIFA (or the market’s designated statistics provider) after the tournament concludes.

- **Cutoff:** Only contributions recorded by the official match report at the time of final publication are eligible.

Quick FAQ

- Q: Does a penalty shootout goal count?

A: No — only goals and assists recorded in regulation and extra time that appear in the official match statistics count; penalty shootout goals are excluded unless the market rules state otherwise.

- Q: What if an assist is later credited or removed?

A: Settlement follows the official final statistics as published after the match/tournament; post-tournament stat adjustments by the designated provider will determine the final outcome.

- Q: What if one or both players don’t play?

A: The market still uses official statistics; if a player records zero contributions, that zero is used in the final tally.
