A talented Portugal B team will look to defeat an inexperienced United States side as the two teams meet next Tuesday. This Portuguese side isn’t particularly young, but features many veteran players who are inexperienced on the international level. Portugal is missing many regulars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Moutinho, Nani, Fabio Coentrao, and Rui Patricio. Despite the absence of these star players, this Portuguese side still packs a lot of skill.
