Trackside & Tactics

Men's 400m all-time list 🇿🇦 Wayde Van Niekerk - 43.03s (2016) 🇺🇸 Michael Johnson - 43.18s (1999) 🇺🇸 Butch Reynolds - 43.29s (1988) 🇳🇬 Samuel Ogazi - 43.38s (2026) 🆕 Ogazi's time is the fastest time ever recorded in the 400m after a decade.

@FPLShawcus So by your metrics, Flo Jo is the GOAT over the 100m, not Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce. Mike Powell is the GOAT of the Long Jump, not Carl Lewis. Have a wonderful day ahead.

@TrackTacticsHQ Jonathan Edwards 1995 v Christian Taylor’s 2015. Edwards wins, simple.

The greatest triple jumper of all time, Christian Taylor 🇺🇸 soared to 18.21m at the 2015 Worlds, where he claimed the title The 2nd-best jump in history, just 8cm shy of the WR He holds the record for the most legal 18m+ jumps (4), with 3 coming in 2015

@FPLShawcus Christian Taylor not being the WR holder doesn’t reduce his greatness. Greatness is dominance, consistency, and titles, not just records. His World titles and Olympic golds speak for him. Edwards' dominance was not in any way close to Taylor's. Taylor is the true GOAT.

@TrackTacticsHQ Well he’s not the greatest then is he!! Jonathan Edwards is.

Lionel Messi is now the joint top #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer 🔝📊

Kylian Mbappé passes Lionel Messi and Pelé in World Cup goals in the same exact game 🔥 World Cup Mbappé is a different beast 👏

One thing is certain about Kylian Mbappé, he always finds the back of the net. After a subdued first-half performance from France, they returned from the dressing room transformed. Mbappé scored a brace to take his World Cup tally to 14 goals, while Barcola also got on the scoresheet as France secured a 3–1 win over Senegal. Senegal, however, were arguably the better side in the first half but struggled to maintain their intensity against France’s pace and momentum after the break. Their consolation goal came from Mbaye.

Barcola doubles France's lead over Senegal.

Mbappe 🇫🇷 scores his first goal of the tournament and 13th goal overall in World Cup history.
