We're deep into the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and already the tournament has staked a claim as one of the best of all time. Underdogs are taking the sword to overinflated opponents, world-class players are hungry to stake their claim as the successor to the Ronaldo-Messi feud, now that both players are out of the competition, and, most importantly, goals are flying in left and right. It's ridiculous.

Already we've seen some all-time screamers, some disastrous defending and own goals, and many a last-minute winner breaking the hearts of nations around the world, and sending others into raptures. Here is every goal scored in the 2018 World Cup, ordered from best to worst. We'll be updating as the tournament goes on.

1. Pavard, France vs. Argentina

It's not until you see the hyper slow-motion replay at around 52 seconds into this video that you realize the transcendent skill on display here. Pavard, leaning back, striking a ball with the outside of his foot, above knee height, will never hit one sweeter. Even halfway into its flight, it's going well wide until the spin slowly, savagely bends the ball goalbound until it nestles into the far corner. This is what football's all about: one-upping Cristiano Ronaldo, who had previously held our top spot with...

2. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal vs. Spain

Cristiano Ronaldo is hot, absolutely ripped, and irredeemably rich. In any movie, he would be the villain—the jock who gets pantsed in the final scene. This is real life, though, and Ronaldo gets the ending he fucking wants. With time running out against the 2010 tournament winners, Ronnie stepped up to take a free kick. Despite his all-star reputation, they've never been his specialty, but there is no denying the runaway train that is CR7. And so, he did this. It's worth mentioning this was also his third goal of the match.

3. Granit Xhaka, Serbia vs. Switzerland

Not just a great goal from a middling Premier League midfielder, but a politically explosive one. Xhaka celebrated his goal with the "double eagle" hand gesture, a reference to the Albanian flag, and in turn Kosovo, a disputed territory that declared independence from Serbia and is yet to be recognized. FIFA investigated the incident because they are no fun, but this goal sure was.

4. Son, South Korea vs. Germany

A dagger if ever there was one to send the reigning champions crashing out of the competition before the knockout stages. Already eliminated, South Korea were playing only for pride. They earned it.

5. Musa, Nigeria vs. Iceland

A stunning breakaway goal from the Super Eagles. This is what World Cup football's about.

6. Mertens, Belgium vs. Panama

Look at this! He's practically standing still and still somehow drives a powerful, dipping shot into the far corner. He could try for years and never hit a ball this sweetly again.

7. Nacho, Portugal vs. Spain

Pick that one out. A golazo in every sense of the word, but the slow-mo replay is what makes you realize just how beautifully this ball was hit, and how completely hopeless the goalkeeper was to prevent it.

8. Messi, Nigeria vs. Argentina

The GOAT finally gets his World Cup goal (and, it should be noted, the 100th of the tournament so far). The control, the fortitude, the finish. This is a Messi goal, which is to say it's perfect.

9. Lingard, England vs. Panama

Lingard still hasn't set the world on fire at Manchester United, but his penchant for far-range, curling shots is well-known, and rightly feared. This effort against Panama might be his best yet.

10. Rojo, Nigeria vs. Argentina

With just minutes to go until Argentinia fell at the first hurdle, defender Marcus Rojo stepped up and swept home a volley he'll remember for the rest of his life.

11. Kroos, Germany vs. Sweden

After losing to Mexico in their opener, anything other than a win for the world champions against Sweden would have been unacceptable. With virtually the last kick of the match, Toni Kroos ensures three (eventually futile) points for Germany, and he did it in style, too.

12. Cheryshev, Russia vs. Saudi Arabia

Russia absolutely humiliated Saudi Arabia in the first game of the tournament, but there's nothing to be ashamed of when you concede a goal like this.

13. Son, South Korea vs. Mexico

Son Heung-min is consistently one of the most entertaining players in the Premier League, and this goal out of nothing for Korea against an obstinate Mexico side shows why.

14. Kolarov, Costa Rica vs. Serbia

Kolarov made a name for himself at Manchester City for his unstoppable driven free kicks. Even entering his waning years, he's capable of the extraordinary.

15. Baloy, England vs. Panama

It's the emotion of this goal that makes it so special. It's the first goal Panama has ever scored at the World Cup, and even five more goals down to a ruthless England team, they celebrated it for the feat it was.

16. Modric, Argentina vs. Croatia

The incredulous laughter from the commentator after this flew in says it all.

17. Eriksen, Australia vs. Denmark

Even more impressive when you watch the replays of the backheel, and Eriksen setting himself to hit a ball already at knee-height with such accuracy and power. Denmark might just be the sleeper hit of the tournament.

18. Coutinho, Brazil vs. Costa Rica

Coutinho has bailed out his various teams with powerful, curling right-footed shots his entire career. I don't know why we would expect anything different here.

19. Januzaj, England vs. Belgium

Come for the silky, curling finish. Stay for Michy Batshuayi kicking the ball into his own face in celebration. A triumph of the form.

20. Lozano, Germany vs. Mexico

A wonderful team goal sees a pass fizzed in from West Ham's Chicharito, Hirving "Chucky" Lozano collecting, dancing past a couple of German defenders before squeaking in a smashed shot at the near post. Sublime, and a worthy match-winner against the defending champions.

21. Salah, Saudi Arabia vs. Egypt

Mo Salah has perhaps been the best player in the world over the past 12 months, and instincts and reactions like this show exactly why.

22. Di Maria, France vs. Argentina

He might have flamed out at Real Madrid and Manchester United, but with this goal, Di Maria has etched himself into Argentina history. Or, at least, did briefly until Pavard hit a much better goal a few minutes later.

23. Cavani, Uruguay vs. Portugal

Utter filth. Gorgeous.

24. Cuadrado, Poland vs. Colombia

The pass from James Rodriguez is absolutely brutal. Poland had no chance.
