Jordan’s World Cup Draw With Argentina Has Fans Laughing, Crying, and Dreaming Big
Jordan’s World Cup 2026 draw against Argentina sent the whole country on an emotional rollercoaster—think shock, pride, fear, and pure excitement, all at once. From hilarious chants to wild predictions, fans are already living every possible outcome in their heads. If you thought football was just a game, you haven’t seen Jordanians react to facing Messi and his crew!
When the draw paired Jordan with Argentina, fans instantly switched from hopeful to hilariously anxious. One group chanted, “Messi, where is he? We will break his eye!”—a bold (and very Jordanian) way of saying, “Bring it on!” The internet exploded with memes, like the classic: “When your heart says Jordan, but your anxiety says Messi.” Meanwhile, some fans joked that Jordan asked for a World Cup, not a boss fight, and even predicted a wild 7-0 win for Jordan. Dream big, right?
The reactions just kept getting better. One video showed a fan calmly explaining his ‘plan’ for the match: keep the team away from cigarettes and get all 12 million Jordanians to pray extra hard. Another clip had fans nervously whispering prayers, while someone else joked, “Plot twist: Messi is the one who should be scared!” There’s even a fan scheduling his emotional breakdown for match day, flipping between wild laughter and dramatic despair. If you’re not laughing, you’re probably crying—sometimes both at once!
Of course, everyone knows the odds are wild, but that’s not stopping anyone. Fans are already imagining every scenario: Jordan scoring early, defending like legends, getting a little lucky, and maybe Messi sleeping in. Whether it’s dancing in front of a Messi poster or comforting each other with “It’s fine. It’s totally fine. Everything is fine…”, Jordanians are ready for anything. Group J might be the toughest, but Jordan’s spirit is even tougher. Game on!
