Jordan's short-lived debut, at World Cup 2026, puts them right in the path of Lionel Messi, who has led Argentina from the front and is thirsty for more.

The teams meet in their final Group J fixture and the fact that the eliminated tournament debutants have conceded five times in two games will have the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner licking his lips.

Jordan vs Argentina: key information

Something Jordan have done that some teams don't manage at all in their first crack at the World Cup is score a goal – two, in fact, and they kept both their Group J opponents honest.

Ali Olwan wrote his name into Jordanian football lore with his equaliser against Austria. Nizar Al-Rashdan put them in front against Algeria.

They'll do well to add a third goal. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is yet to be beaten at this World Cup and Lionel Scaloni will expect his team to maintain the same standards even with first place tied up.

Jordan vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Preview

Jamal Sellami's team are in the frustrating position of having surprised pundits in flashes but being eliminated after 180 minutes of their maiden tournament with their hardest fixture still to come.

With only eight outfield players aged 30 or above in their squad, Jordan will hope the newly expanded World Cup format can turn this first qualification into two in a row in four years' time. They reached this one relatively comfortably.

For now, a last spin in the spotlight of 2026. AT&T Stadium will be packed again, not with Jordan or even Argentina supporters, but by Messi fanatics.

The Argentina captain's achievements here are just extraordinary. He was 38 when he equalled, then broke, then extended the record as the top goalscorer in World Cup history.

He's 39 now. A late birthday celebration in Arlington is the last thing Jordan need but the veteran is surely going to be a bloody nuisance for Jordan, just like Algeria and Austria before them. Especially with Kylian Mbappe breathing down his neck for that all-time record.

Beating Jordan won't make Argentina favourites to become just the third team to retain the World Cup. Messi continuing his absurd scoring streak might.

Jordan vs Argentina: Group J

FourFourTwo's prediction

Jordan 0-3 Argentina

FourFourTwo predicts a straightforward third game for Argentina but, hey, let's say someone else will score too.
