Jordan vs. Argentina live stream: How to watch FIFA World Cup, predictions and lineups
As Argentina face Jordan on Saturday night, it's clear that Lionel Scaloni has one eye on the knockout stage of the World Cup, and you can't blame him. As Lionel Messi already has scored five goals and broken the record for the most goals all time in World Cup history, Scaloni has announced that his talisman won't start on Saturday night, although he may play a part from the bench, but these are the things that make Argentina great.
Doing their job and winning the group with a game to go allows Scaloni to rotate in younger players like Nico Paz and Valentín Barco into the starting XI and future-proof Argentina for times when they potentially don't have Messi available. Considering that Messi is aging like a fine wine, who knows how many World Cups he has in him, but Argentina are in a strong position to advance out of their quarter of the tournament bracket after how things have fallen. They'll face Cabo Verde in the round of 32, but eventually either Colombia or Portugal will be the toughest thing stopping them from making it to the last four. While nothing can be taken for granted in this World Cup, if you offered Argentina this path before the tournament, they would absolutely take it.
