Argentina wrapped up the group stage of the World Cup with three spectacular wins. The most recent triumph over Jordan on Saturday night propelled the Albiceleste to a whole new level.

This level is truly historic. With their 3-1 victory over Jordan, Argentina notched its 50th World Cup win. This landmark achievement allows the three-time world champions to join an exclusive club that includes just three teams.

Until now, only Brazil and Germany had reached 50 wins. Argentina joined their ranks after defeating Jordan. Nearly a century since 1930, this consistency cements the Albiceleste's place on the international stage.
This current generation bears the mark of Lionel Scaloni and Lionel Messi, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner who has scored six goals in just three matches at this tournament.

Now, all eyes turn to the Round of 16. The country of Diego Maradona will face the ambitious Cape Verde national team.
