Who is playing today? đź‘€

Ralf Rangnick's Austria bring an experienced squad into this showdown with Jordan.

San Francisco will play host to these two Group J foes as they begin their campaigns with plenty of hope.

Austria boast a squad rife with recognisable names such as David Alaba, Carney Chukwuemeka and Marko Arnautović. 

Meanwhile, Jordan arrive at the World Cup™ fresh off of qualification from AFC and they did it with a match to spare.

Arnautović always comes to mind when you think of Austrian football.

The Red Star Belgrade striker boasts a decorated career at the club level and comes into the tournament just shy of 50 goals in over 130 appearances for his home nation.

Meanwhile, Jordan do not come into the tournament with quite as many recognisable names as their rivals but you can't ignore star forward Mousa Al Tamari.

The Rennes striker racked up 12 goal contributions in Ligue 1 last season, and has bagged 18 goals in 63 appearances for Jordan, while Ali Olwan is the squad's top scorer and goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila's experience will be key, with over 60 caps to his name.
