It's amazing what a difference a few days can make. Well, a few days and a simple formation change. Just a few days after an utter failure during a 2-0 loss to South Korea, the USMNT bounced back in a big way with a 2-0 win over Japan. The biggest difference-maker against Japan was Mauricio Pochettino switching to a 3-4-3 formation, a tweak that made a world of difference.
The USMNT looked like a completely different team in Tuesday's win over Japan compared to Saturday's loss to South Korea. While the Americans had most of the possession against South Korea, they didn't create nearly as many quality scoring chances as they did against Japan.
