For me, two big moves. Jones to the right, to berate, annoy, clatter Ronaldo. Can you think of a better USMNT player to man mark him with? Diskerud into the starting lineup is big. I don't anticipate to dominate possession, so having Mix be able to unlock a depleted Portugese defense with one incisive pass is key. I go with the same back four. Continuing to build continuity is key, and I think DMB can control Nani. If Besker isn't a go, then Brooks slots in. For him.
