Jordan vs. Algeria live stream: How to watch FIFA World Cup, odds, prediction, pick, lineups, channel

World Cup-bound teams have six months of build-up from the day of the draw to the day of their opening match, the wait almost whiplash-inducing as the mood switches from preparation to crunch time. That is especially true for the teams who could not manage to win their opening games; those first three points a real cushion as another batch of challenges await and so, a few short after their World Cups began, Jordan and Algeria have to contemplate the fact that it also might come to an end in less than a week's time.

The pair meet at Levi's Stadium in northern California on Monday on the back of heavy defeats, some more dispiriting than others. Jordan's World Cup debut may have ended with a 3-1 loss to Austria, things unraveling quickly despite finding an equalizer in the 50th minute, but they were no slouches even in defeat. Their performance earned the praise of Austria head coach Ralf Rangnick, who essentially gave the newcomers a vote of confidence that they do, in fact, belong amongst the elites.

"Jordan did a fantastic job throughout the match," he said after the game. "We expected a difficult opponent; we knew that they were going to be anything but easy, but today they displayed a very brave kind of football. ‌They exceeded ⁠my expectations. I know that some of you thought that we would be the favourite in this match, but we were definitely not."
