Ronaldo returns to centre stage

Cristiano Ronaldo is all set for his second chance
to shine in Brazil when pointless Portugal attempt
to get their World Cup campaign back on track against
Juergen Klinsmann's United States in sultry Manaus on
Sunday.
Despite rumours swirling around the internet about the
condition of his left knee, the World Player of the Year is
expected to start the Group G encounter against an
American side chasing a win which would earn them a last
16 place.
Belgium also had injury concerns over captain Vincent
Kompany but the central defender is expected to start the
opening match of day against Russia at the Maracana in
Rio de Janeiro, which should go a long way to deciding the
winners of Group H.
South Korea, who drew with the Russians in their opener,
face off against Algeria in the other match in the group in
Porto Alegre.
