Jordan are out of the World Cup after two relatively narrow defeats but fans are worried that their last match on Saturday against Argentina could end in a rout, with some imploring Lionel Messi to take it easy on the team.
Messi, the tournament's top scorer so far, posted a video on Instagram this week showing him working out in the gym after Argentina defeated Austria 2-0 and secured first place in Group J.
The video showed him lifting dumbbells and doing pull-ups before giving the camera a thumbs-up. While there was no reference to Saturday's match, it appears to have been interpreted as a warning.
