    USA certainly playing the better football at the moment. Hope they score and make Portugal sweat a little.

    Portugal should out Ronaldo down the right flank. Beasley is liability at left back.

    They seem to be adverse to tackling anyone who wants to run straight through the middle of the pitch.

    Its like in Pro Evo 4 where you centered and just ran straight towards the opposition goal you wouldn't get tackled.

    Remember Steve Staunton playing in the 1994 WC? I'd say he'd dissolve out there in those playing conditions.

    Is he not playing left wing? Very high up the pitch all match. How old is he btw? This is his 4th WC ain't it?

    If anyone regularly plays sports outdoors in those conditions you'd know why he allowed the water break. Hot as balls down there.

    Every player will carry a thermal fanny pack with water and an ice pop.

    For the workers? Nope, no breaks. They get water sprayed at them occasionally to wake them up.

    Ronaldo right now is playing nowhere near the level of the Ronaldo we know.

    Nah, there'll be one drinks break 5 minutes in, then a "clear the charred corpses" break after 10 minutes. Match result determined by super-computer.

    Take Moutinho and Greaseball out of that Portugal team, and they are a very average side.
