Argentina closes Group J against Jordan on Saturday, June 27, with Lionel Messi riding a five goal start and limited tickets still available in Texas.
Messi scored twice in Argentina's 2-0 victory over Austria and now has five goals through two tournament games. That brace also moved him to 18 career World Cup goals, surpassing Marta to stand alone as the tournament's all time leading scorer.
Argentina's path to an early Group J title may hinge on the Jordan vs Algeria result from Monday night. Limited tickets remain available for the Jordan clash in Texas, with prices reportedly starting around $2,271 in Section 440 on the resale market.
