Argentina and Jordan represent one of the more straightforward mismatches on paper in the 2026 World Cup group stage.
Argentina enters as the defending champion and the top-ranked team in the world, making its 19th World Cup appearance.
The squad is championship-tested, too, after claiming the last three major tournaments they entered: Copa América 2021, the 2022 World Cup and Copa América 2024. Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez and Emiliano Martínez give this squad as much firepower as any team remaining in the field.
Jordan, ranked 65th, is making its World Cup debut and arrives as a heavy underdog. Musa Al-Taamari, who scored seven goals in World Cup qualifying, will be tasked with leading the attack for a side that has little tournament history to draw on but plenty of motivation to make its first appearance count.
Despite the talent difference, Argentina shouldn’t discount Jordan. Remember: The Albiceleste lost to Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the 2022 World Cup before they went on to win the whole tournament.
