Vienna/Marbella – Austria’s national soccer team starts the World Cup year on Friday (6 p.m./live on ORF 1 and in the STANDARD live ticker) with a test match against Ghana in the Ernst Happel Stadium. With Paul Wanner and Carney Chukwuemeka, two promising ÖFB signings are about to make their international debut. The duo is likely to sit on the bench for the time being. Ralf Rangnick wants to give almost his entire squad playing time through up to eleven substitution options. The result still plays a role for the team boss.
