USA vs. PORTUGAL: All the stats, facts and team news for the Group G clash.
Here is all information for this game.
Group G: USA v Portugal
Venue: Arena Amazonia, Manaus
Kick-off: 11pm (6pm, Brazil time)
TV coverage: ITV1, from 10.30pm
Referee: Nestor Pitana, Argentina
Managers: Jurgen Klinsmann (USA), Paulo Bento (Portugal)
Key clash: John Brooks (USA) v Cristano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Ronaldo is so essential to Portugal’s play that he will play on despite his knee injury and Brooks, USA’s match winner last time out, will need to prevent the main Portuguese threat from cutting inside and shooting.
So impressive for his club side, Sporting Lisbon, this season, Carvalho will face a tough task to control the game against the USA’s central midfield but he has the ability to dominate – and if Ronaldo isn’t firing on all cylinders, he will need to.
Head-to-head record: Played 5 USA wins 2 Draws 1 Portugal wins 2.
