USA
Japan and USA face each other at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is expected to be an interesting friendly game. The Samurai Blue continue their preparations for the upcoming World Cup finals, and they will surely give 100% to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Brazil in their last warm-up game. A man to keep an eye on in the Asian team will be Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi, who has been scoring goals for fun in the Scotland Premiership this term. Daichi Kamada (Eintracht Frankfurt), Wataru Endo (Stuttgart), Daizen Maeda (Celtic), and Maya Yoshida (Schalke 04) made the cut as well.
The Yanks, on the other hand, qualified for the showpiece tournament in Qatar despite failing to impress in the WC qualifiers, but they produced a brilliant display in a 5-0 crushing of Grenada in the CONCACAF Nations League. Japan and USA seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. The Japanese back-line should have Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic at bay.
