Jordan vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Today Live Score: Argentina end a highly succesfull campaign group stage in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a match against Jordan, who are already knocked out in the race for the knockouts. The match is pretty much a dead-rubber, with Argentina’s status as group winners already cemented.

It means that the defending champions could choose to rotate their squad and, notably, rest their in-form captain Lionel Messi, who has scored all five goals that Argentina have scored thus far. Argentina before this beat Austria 2-0 and Jordan 2-1.

Jordan vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: The situation in Group J

Argentina are through, Jordan are out. Between them, though, Austria and Algeria are both on three points, with Austria ahead for now due to their better goal difference. Any head to head stats between them will come into play only after today's match in Kansas. If it ends in a draw, Algeria will have to be the side depending on the third-place standings to go through and they will do it, likely as the sixth-best side in those standings.

Jordan vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: Meanwhile, in Miami...

Portugal vs Colombia is underway at the Miami Stadium, which is known as Hard Rock Stadium, home of Inter Miami and Lionel Messi outside of the context of this World Cup. Today, it is largely bathed in the yellow of Colombia and the loudest cheers thus far has been for whenever Cristiano Ronaldo got on the ball. You can follow that game here. Also underway is Congo vs Uzbekistan in Atlanta, although that match will hardly have any effect on Portugal or Colombia unless Congo score about five goals or more and the former lose. In which case, Portugal could slip down to third. But we really are reaching here in the realm of possibilities.

Jordan vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: The importance of Messi for ARG

Messi scored all five goals for Argentina in the first two group matches, and now has 18 goals overall in his six World Cups. He had his first-ever hat trick in the tournament in a 3-0 win over Algeria to tie the career scoring record at 16 goals that had been held by Miroslav Klose of Germany. He broke that mark with the goals in a 2-0 win over Austria on Monday at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys — where the group finale will be played.

Klose played in 24 World Cup matches for Germany, which wrapped up his fourth tournament by winning the 2014 final 1-0 in extra time over Messi and Argentina. Kylian Mbappé matched Klose at 16 with two goals in France’s 3-0 win over Iraq later Monday. Mbappé, who has four goals in the tournament, didn't score in a 4-1 win over Norway on Friday in his final group match.

Considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, Messi has made 201 international appearances for Argentina, including a FIFA-record 28 World Cup matches. He has scored in six consecutive World Cup games, joining France striker Just Fontaine and Brazil great Jairzinho as only players to do that.

Messi had been dealing with a minor hamstring injury with Inter Miami of Major League Soccer that slowed him in the lead-up to the World Cup.

Jordan vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: No Messi in XI

Lionel Scaloni has said that Messi will not be in Argentina's starting XI today, but might make an appearance from the bench. Messi is currently the top scorer at the ongoing FIFA World Cup besides being the overall record holder for most goals in World Cup history. Can he continue the streak today?

HOLA

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Jordan vs Argentina game from the World Cup.

Messi missed the penalty. Then scored twice. Argentina are through

Before the match, the giant screen at Dallas Stadium showed all 16 of Lionel Messi’s previous World Cup goals one by one. The crowd cheered each one. By the time the last appeared, the stadium was already his. Two more followed. They always do.

In the ninth minute, Messi walked up to a penalty spot and missed. Not by much. He tried to curl it against the post. Schlager dived, guessed right, but the ball passed a few centimetres wide without him needing to touch it. Messi covered his face with both palms, looked up at the Texas sky, and walked back. An Austrian fan in the stand had painted MESSI WHO? on his stomach. It felt, briefly, like a reasonable question. READ MORE.
