Argentina vs Jordan: A One-Sided Matchup in World Cup

Argentina vs Jordan: A One-Sided Matchup in World Cup

Argentina will take on Jordan in a World Cup match on June 28, 2026, at the AT&T Stadium in the United States. Scheduled to kick off at 9:00 AM, this match is crucial for Argentina, who has already secured their place in the knockout stage after winning their first two games in Group J. In contrast, Jordan has struggled in the tournament, suffering two consecutive losses and failing to earn any points, which has led to their elimination.

Although Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, has decided to rest several key players, including the iconic Lionel Messi, the team is still expected to dominate the match. Messi may come off the bench in the second half, allowing him the opportunity to score more goals and set new records in the World Cup.

Jordan, on the other hand, aims to leave a mark despite their elimination. They are likely to field a lineup similar to the one that narrowly lost 1-2 to Algeria in their last match. Forward Ali Olwan, who scored Jordan's first goal in the 2026 World Cup, will lead the attack, looking to equal the national record of 31 goals held by Hamza Al-Dardour.

While the competitive stakes are low for this match, it remains significant for Jordan as they face the reigning world champions. The players are motivated to give their best performance and make a lasting impression, even if they are ultimately defeated.

Projected Lineups

  • Jordan: Abulaila, Al-Arab, Nasib, Abu Dahab; Haddad, Al-Rashdan, Al-Rawabdeh, Abu Taha; Al-Tamari, Al-Mardi; Olwan
  • Argentina: E. Martínez; Montiel, Otamendi, Martínez, Tagliafico; Lo Celso, Paredes, Palacios, Almada; Álvarez, L. Martínez
