Why it matters
Ours are out — Argentina have a job to do in Group J.
Mousa Al-Taamari
Jordan
The flying winger who carries Jordan's threat — give him space in transition and he can hurt anyone.
Lionel Messi
Argentina
Still the gravitational centre of this side, the man around whom every Argentine hope orbits.
That's that, then. Jordan are out at the group stage — the maths finally caught up. A disappointing end, but there'll be stories to tell and lessons to take from it.
Argentina are into the last 32. Job done in the group, and now the tournament really begins — one-and-done from here, every match a final.
And there it ends. Argentina fall to Spain, and a summer of following them is over. It stings now — but what a ride it was, and there's no shame in going out swinging.
