I believe Mbappe is easily the more complete footballer, however, Haaland is the most dominant striker I've seen. Ibrahimovic is the only player I can think of who comps to Haaland, and despite a litany of insane goals in his highlight reel, Haaland is likely better considering how dominant he is in the box.

What say you?

In this World Cup? Haaland. He's carrying Norway and scoring loads of goals. Mbappe has tons of help.

Mbappe, easily. He may be the next GOAT if he can stay healthy.

But I love watching Haaland as well.

I mean in general. Haaland has absolutely dominated every step of the way in his career, club and international. And he's now carrying an out of nowhere team to the quarterfinals of the world's biggest sporting event.

Haaland is incredible and lifts his team up. Mbappe is also incredible but is a me first player. Give me Haaland all day.

Two different styles so really hard to compare.

I like Haaland because he is one of the very few that doesn’t try to flop around to draw fouls. He plays like a 6’5 grown beast man and dominates in the box.

Mbappe does more on the pitch. Haaland is an insane weapon near the goal though.

He does seem to do this less. The Norway team in general is likable and I love watching them play.

I'll take Haaland at 9 and Mbappe at LW. Two very different skill sets.

If I'm picking one for my team it's Haaland.

Haaland is just insane in the box. Love watching him score.

Yep, and a huge factor in the following.

Goals in caps:

Mbappe - 63 in 103 appearances
Haaland - 62 in 54 appearances, which is just insane efficiency.

Hard to pick which one is "better", it's dependent on a number of factors, but Haaland's physicality and ability in the air would get him the nod for my team.

Having a more goals than caps is absolutely insane. Even more so that it isn’t some inflated stat from playing in a backwater league.
