A lucky goal? The curious World Cup 'jinx' Jordan's goal broke | OneFootball

That goal was, so far, the first one conceded by the Argentina national team at the World Cup, since in their opener against Algeria, the African side had the goal that had opened the scoring disallowed. But it also means that the “clean-sheet curse” in the group stage, at least, will not affect La Albiceleste.

The other “curse” looming over the Argentina national team

Aside from the clean-sheet one, another “curse” is looming over the Argentina national team at the World Cup, namely that of being top of the FIFA rankings, since no champion has ever arrived at the World Cup as the number-one team in the standings, a spot held this time by La Albiceleste.

France, meanwhile, is another national team that should be wary of these superstitions, given that never before has the Ballon d’Or holder gone on to become world champion, and this time the award’s owner is Ousmane Dembélé.
