Argentina – 3 (Celso, Lautaro Martinez, Messi) : Jordan – 1 (Al Tamari) Dallas : Imagine Argentina (Argentina) playing the World Cup (FIFA World Cup 2026) and Messi sitting on the bench. When did the new football fans see this scene? saw today However, it is not that much inconvenience.
Rather, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni did not think about Messi before playing against Jordan today. Yet he took the field, scored goals, made records, broke records. Record and Messi - are both synonyms?
In the past, Scaloni said, Argentina does not want to take any team lightly in the group stage. But what happened to Martinez today? Why did they see such a heartless attitude?

Why did Messi have to be brought down in the match? Just for goals? I don't think so.
Or to give a message, no attitude can be shown without guts in any match? Jordan was defeated today by his own mistake. Jordan scored the first goal in 19 minutes.
Celso scored a great goal from a free kick outside the box. Lautaro Martinez scored from the penalty spot in the 31st minute. Martinez's shot bounced off the crossbar.
Sensi headed the return ball, which was saved by Jordan's goalkeeper. But, unfortunately, Sensi's head was kicked by Jordan's player, resulting in a penalty for Argentina. This Inter Milan striker did not make a mistake in scoring.
However, in the second half, Emilianora lost a goal due to their attitude. Scaloni took Lautaro off Messi after 60 minutes when Jordan scored in the 55th minute. In the 64th minute, the free kick was kicked outside, but in the 80th minute, Argentina got a free kick again and this time, Messi did not make a mistake.
Just as he scored 19 goals in the World Cup from free kicks, 6 goals came from his feet in the World Cup 2026, which is still the highest. As a result, despite Jordan's prowess, Argentina topped the group by winning 3-1. Their opponents in the round of 32 are Cape Verde.
However, the way the defense got off to a poor start today will worry Scaloni.
