Ronaldo probably demanded to play in the final. It's better to rest now than resting during the CL final.

Smart for Ronaldo to rest up against the Germans, a game they could never win, for the US game, a game he will need all his powers for if the Portuguese are to stand any chance of any points.

Portugal are playing Greece right now. It's our B team, with Eduardo - André Almeida, Ricardo Costa, Bruno Alves, João Pereira - William Carvalho, Miguel Veloso - Nani, Varela, Éder, Postiga

Interesting that two defensive midfielders, William and Veloso are playing together, and two strikers which almost never happens.

e: William Carvalho class as always, he's gotta be a starter.

André Almeida is a complete turd. There's a reason Benfica don't use any of their Portuguese players, and it's because they're all crap, but it's cool that Paulo Bento decided one of them was good enough to be our only backup at fullback.

It's quite puzzling cause André Almeida barely ever played as a fullback, and when he did it was on the right when Silvio broke.

Going to see these guys play tomorrow- I'm assuming Ronaldo won't play, but does anyone know about what the rest of the team might look like? Are there any other outstanding injuries?

Ronaldo, Pepe and Raul Meireles prob won't play, but I see the team being closer to the usual starting lineup than what we played against Greece, meaning guys like Coentrão, Rui Patricío, Moutinho and Postiga will get some minutes.

Portugal should just go the "Pep" route and play a decent offensive midfielder as striker

I think the "Pep" route involves a little more doctoring of the midfield and strikers if you know what I mean

Meireles could probably do a job as long as every single pass he gets comes in at waist height for optimal volleying.

We don't really have any decent offensive midfielders, really. Danny isn't called up and Meireles plays deeper, and when our only backup for that position is Rafa who's played like 20 mins for the national team it means we can't really do the false 9 thing.
