I think the diamond-ish formation will be another good way to deal with Portugal's speed. They're better on the counter so playing the defensive shape with hopefully frustrate them the way it did vs Ghana.
I think it also doesn't hurt to give Wondo a shot & see if he can play with his back to the way & allow Aron to be subbed in when legs are getting heavy. Zusi gets the nob since his legs will be fresher as well.
