Portugal vs USA: Do or Die Battle for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.

Portugal vs USA: Do or Die Battle for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.

Portugal face USA tonight in a crucial Group G encounter. A defeat for Portugal tonight means that Portugal would be out of the World Cup while victory for USA will take them through to the next round.

After been outclassed by Germany in the opening fixture, Portugal needs to get back to form otherwise it would be too late for them. But Portugal will be without the services of Pepe and Fabio Coentrao who would miss out through suspension and injury respectively. And with Lionel Messi putting up two match winning goals it is high time for Cristiano Ronaldo to deliver for his country as well. His country needs him more than ever.

On the other hand, USA will be quietly confident of getting a positive result out of this game after having got all three points against Ghana. A victory over the Portuguese will ensure their passage to the 2nd round. Jurgen Klinsmann’s team had deservedly defeated Ghana in the first game and he would be hoping that his team produce a similar performance to knock out Cristiano Ronaldo and co. from the World Cup.
