BBC pundits and commentators for Spain vs Saudi Arabia
The ever-reliable Kelly Cates will be in the presenter's seat in the Salford studio to guide her team of studio pundits through their attempts at analysis.
Sitting alongside her will be former England striker Wayne Rooney, former Spain defender Cesar Azpilicueta, and ex-Brentford and Tottenham boss Thomas Frank.
Rooney is Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer, and once held the same distinction for his country as well before being overtaken by Harry Kane.
Former Chelsea stalwart Azpilicueta won it all in his 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge, including two league titles, a Champions League, an FA Cup, a League Cup, two Europa Leagues, a UEFA Super Cup, and a Club World. We're not sure why we said 'including' because that's all of it.

Frank enjoyed great success in getting Brentford promoted to the Premier League and establishing them in the division, and also was at Spurs for a bit last season.
It's then over to Atlanta for the match action, with Ian Dennis serving as the lead commentator.
Alongside him is former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who earned 41 caps, including starting all of the Three Lions' games at the 2006 World Cup.
Spain and Saudi Arabia were both held to draws in their opening games of the tournament, leaving the group all square going into this second round of fixtures.
The European champions were unable to find a way past tournament debutants Cape Verde in the biggest shock we are likely to see this summer.
Saudi Arabia meanwhile led Uruguay last time out, only to end up sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
