The 2018 World Cup saw a wider distribution, with Harry Kane leading the charge with six goals, supported by John Stones, Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard, Kieran Trippier, and Harry Maguire. The 2022 edition added Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden to the list. The 2026 opener against Croatia introduced new names to the tally.
