The United States Men’s National Team has some work to do after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Japan today in a friendly in Düsseldorf, Germany. The USMNT leaves that match with some questions that need to be answered with the World Cup eight weeks away.
The USMNT only shot the ball four times in the loss, while the Blue Samurai got 16 shots on the pitch thanks to their aggressiveness. The USMNT lost possession 28 times in the first half.
Daichi Kamada put Japan on the board first with his backside goal in the 25th minute, assisted by Hidemasa Morita.
