Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedJordan's group stage ended with a 3-1 defeat to Argentina — a result that followed the script almost from the first whistle, with the South Americans establishing a two-goal cushion inside half an hour before Messi put the contest beyond doubt late on. Al-Tamari's consolation just after the hour offered a brief flicker, but Jordan were outclassed. Finishing fourth in Group J with three defeats and no points, they nevertheless advanced as one of the tournament's best third-placed sides before their World Cup came to a close.
