Jordan: Jordan's WC Education Ends

Jordan leave their first World Cup with the pride of participating. Against a likely-rotating Argentina, they have a genuine chance for a goal and a historic moment — the support of the Palestinian and Jordanian diaspora in Philadelphia will be enormous.

Set pieces remain their only realistic route to a goal. Against Argentina's backline — even rotated — scoring from open play is extremely difficult.

Argentina: Argentina's Farewell to Messi's Last WC Group Stage

If Messi plays here, it will almost certainly be his final World Cup group stage match. Scaloni may rest him from the start — but the emotion of the occasion and the 60,000 fans who traveled to see him may pull Messi onto the pitch.

Even without Messi from the start, Argentina's depth is remarkable — Álvarez, Martínez, De Paul, Fernández. Jordan will struggle to contain any of them for 90 minutes.
