Expert commentary. USA – Portugal – 2:2

- What can you say about the play demonstrated by FC Dynamo Kyiv halfback Miguel?

- Miguel has gladdened me with his play. He was the link between defense and attack. It was noticeable that he is one of the national team key performers.

- In the first half he played as supporting midfielder, but after the break – as left back. When did he approve himself better?

- I think he played better when he was the supporting midfielder as usually. He started many attacks with straight passes.

- Many people will criticize Ronaldo, but he took the field though doctors didn’t recommend him to do that. Anyway he saved his team as he assisted Varela several seconds before the time…

- If player decides to take the field then injury can’t be an argument. Ronaldo was useful for his team.

- Why was it so difficult for Portugal to elude the USA defenders?

- I don’t think that Americans lack technical skills. The thing is that they played more orderly than Portugal.

- Have Pepe’s suspension and Coentrão’s injury had an impact upon the outcome of the game?

- Sure, maybe Portugal wouldn’t have conceded if two key defenders were on the pitch.

- What can one expect of Portugal forthcoming match against Ghana?

- It’s difficult to predict. I guess both sides have equal chances.

- Will the stake on Ronaldo yield the result?

- A lot will depend upon him as he’s able to play the decisive role.
