Records five clearances
Nasib recorded two tackles (one won), five clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Argentina.
Analysis: Nasib posted solid numbers across the board for Jordan despite the 3-1 loss, and he managed to record at least five clearances in his three starts at the World Cup. The defender finished the WC campaign with 17 clearances, seven interceptions and five tackles, but his fantasy upside was minimal since Jordan looked overmatched in every game they played.
Strong at back against Algeria
Nasib generated three tackles (three won) and seven clearances in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Algeria.
Analysis: Nasib was physically dominant throughout Monday's 1-2 defeat to Algeria, winning six duels, making three tackles (all won) and contributing two blocks across 90 minutes as the right centre-back in Jordan's back three, completing 16 passes and maintaining his individual defensive battles against Algeria's attackers until the late corners undid a disciplined collective effort. His aerial ability, physicality and defensive resilience make him an important pillar of Jordan's system, and his performances across both group games suggest he is capable of competing consistently at World Cup level.
