The FIFA Arab Cup final was held today, and interestingly, they featured two teams that will be in Brazil and Argentina's groups respectively at the world cup: Morocco and Argentina.Morocco came from behind and won the game 3-2, but honestly, they didn't play great as I thought they would. It may have to do with the severe rain during the game. Or it may have been the absence of Achraf Hakimi.
Jordan looked more dangerous at times, as they have looked throughout the tournament. In fact, this is their golden generation: in 2025 alone, they have done three things they have never done before: finally reach the world cup, reach Asia Cup final and today reaching the Arab cup final. But unlucky for them, they lost their best player to an ACL injury in the game against my Iraq and is now likely out for the world cup too (big loss) If not for the loss of their player, their game against Argentina wouldn't be a guaranteed loss or blowout. But even without him, they may present some challenges for some Argentina, will see.
